LOL to be honest depending on the mods you make they are very cheap (compared to Brabus for example)

Vath were always great with me, I assume that since I bought an entire engine from them this helped IMO cf parts and displacement engine are the products that are expensive

I also should mention that this company grew a lot and they now have many workers which helps a lot. I honestly always got great service and there products are really great ! (Specially the ratio price vs performance/look)

Thanks DNB and Thomas for the compliments! The only thing I wasn't sure is: if i should have left the cf fenders un-painted (maybe i should have left the cf raw)

To make the thread complete here are the pictures of the Brabus valve controlled exhaust

Thanks GMW

The bi-turbo was already great but boy Now the ml63 is an even faster rocket lol

The torque is also insane! Doing 0 to 60 for example you need to be more "awake" and need two hands on the steering!

The only thing i don't like, on this incredible amg machine, is the fact that the the steering is too light in C and S mode... I much prefer the S+ mode

Same here to busy driving my ml63 and with my 190 evo2 dtm project!
Due to my big mb evo2 project, the upgrade on the twin turbo for the ml is on hold.

However here are some pictures:
