Lorinser performance upgrades void warranty?
Hello,
I am looking at a 2008 S550 with that has pretty much every Lorinser upgrade including the 530bhp supercharger addition.

Will these performance and cosmetic upgrades void the Mercedes factory warranty?

If it does, I might as well go and buy a S63 or S65.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Abe

It depends, some MB dealers install these mods and will do warranty work on the cars, some will not.

Mods like this typically kill the resale value, and with these cars' already steep depreciation, it may be worth getting if the price is right. If not, stick with a 63/65.
