Any supercharged e500 4matics?

Has anyone ever attempted to supercharge an all wheel drive e500?

If so, with what results?

Kleemann makes the SC and would know. Probably very rare if anyone has done it.

2005 E500 with 'some' BRABUS upgrades
I was on the phone today with a BRABUS rep going over some stuff on my car. Brabus sells an engine package kit (cams, valve springs, valves and a few other parts) for like $8,000 installed Total horsepower gain: 30hp I've been looking for a while buy obviously in the wrong places for a supercharger for my E500. At this point all I need is some engine upgrades. I'm going to look into this...

Sorry, my mistake, renntech does a S/C with I/C. Gains are big. 443hp @447 lb-ft. Includes ECU upgrade. Gains are big, and so is the price - $16K. Better off getting an E55 IMO.

How much hp/torque will the 4matic drivetrain safely withstand?

IMO with the price of getting an S/C for a 500, I'd just sell it and get a 55, you can probably get it done for the same price difference, and you get a lot more power, reliability, and goodies at the same time.
