Been browsing all the performance upgrade options and can't find much information on the B55 S kit other thatn it ups HP to 390. Does anyone know:

1) What is the torque,

2) What is included(ie what combination of ecu, header, exhaust, cam, other),

3) what is the cost

and

4) Does anyone have this upgrade?

Thanks in advance for any information!!!

actually i invited tony as a personal guest. his wife vanessa brought the brabus ml 55 as well.

tony is in the process of going from the b55 to a b55 with a kleeman s/c. he is not allowed to discuss prices however it took well over a week to do all the work. i know when we went to pick it up that monday b4 the show it wasnt ready. they still had a bunch of rebadging to do. i beleive brabus should have his f1/clk-dtm steering wheel in this week as well.

things i know it includes:
lifters
springs
cam
new badging
airbox update
k and n filters
simon at evosport said after he called andreas that it didnt appear to have an ecm update.

this is tje 1st one in the world done so its hard to expect anyone to have seen one other then this one 1st hand. it was picked up from brabus on that wednesday and brought to the meet on saturday. the best person to talk with on the details is NOT tony. the best person to talk with is ANDREAS at brabus in newport beach. we are not sure if it was dynoed b4 it left brabus however it will be dynoed b4 and after the s/c is installed by evosport.

i know for a fact we (in the slk) were driving circles around a 996 watercooled porsche the wednesday after the meet. tony's bro was going to buy the porsche until he saw how easily the slk ate it up. every run we did with 2 people in each car the slk had the porsche by at least 4 car lengths. the porsche was shifting its heart out while we never even burned rubber or used the paddle shifting. as a passenger it was hard to tell (with the top down) that the slk was moving out that fast. the power is super smooth.

another tid bit of info is that the slk is tony's daily driver. so the b55 update has not hampered its use as a daily driver. he also has a brabus ml55 and a ferrari modena 360 cs and he prefers the slk. i prefer the ferrari.

this car will not be at sema either. tony will be there at the brabus booth as a guest however i dont know what day. i think it might be wednesday. i can ask if you are going to sema.

Falco

Thank you for the information! This really helps me out in the quest for the best route to take. I will not be going to SEMA but i know a few fellow enthusiasts that are going and will be gathering information!
