Hi there, I'm Giorgio and I'm from Italy. I'm part of the staff of the Mercedes Benz Club italia and here is my GLK.

Buongiorno, come stai? That is my extent of Italian & your English is great. I am embarrassed by how few Americans know foreign language- so many of us struggle with English. Presently working on Spanish but it is oh so slow at my age.
Welcome to the forum. Your GLK looks great. The Brabus accessories are very expensive in the US. The exhaust looks great with the four tips. Is it much louder than stock?

@rascal for being a diesel engine, is much more louder. It gave me also 300 rpm extra, now the engine can rev to 5000 rpm. Brabus accessories are expensive in Italy too, Brabus motto is "if you ask for price, you cannot afford it"
I can't wait for brabus springs!!!

Mercedes GLK 220 CDI 4-Matic - 2011
Hi There!
I also have a GLK 220 CDI 4-Matic Sport but in original kit. From Sweden but travel now and then to two small Places about 50-60 km from Venice called Piombino Dese and Castelfranco.
It is for business purposes.
Nice car you got. I guess it is quite different to drive from the original version with all that extra power and toque?

Yeah, it's very different. When we had service on our w212 350cdi 4matic local dealer gave us a 320CDI GLK and mine is really faster. The great advantage is that in normal use I can reach great consumation, 5.2l/100 km. The different offset of the wheels make the car less understeering than stock and more stable at high speed turns. Now I wait for the Brabus spring, I think it will become greater in turns, my main problem is that I cannot find any roll bars for GLK, it seems they don't exist.

In the USA, the H & R sport springs are available. The springs will lower the car just over an inch which is enough for me. Cost is very reasonable for them too. www.tirerack.com offers them. I am installing the 2013 20" Appearance Pkg. wheels but I am disappointed that the wheels are only 8" in width, not 8.5" as in earlier years.

Brabus GLK D4
I've just found out that GLK have the same anti roll bar of w204 4matic version. The rear sway bar is the same for all w204, also for c63. Anyone knows if there are available any anti sway bar for w204 4matic? Neither Eibach nor K&N have those bars...
