Saw it today in Santa Barbara, parked in Lorreta Plaza (03'-05' Black w/quad-tipped brabus exhaust, looked like it had the full brabus body kit and wheels)
Question:what does the B9 include Ingine, brakes, ect. Had Montecito plates on it....Looked nice ....also loved the flat Brabus hood badge (I like how flush it mounts it looks really good)

E55 RUSS

BRABUS B9 performance kit, 239 hp / 176 kW. Export only! based on 320 engine...I think its just a Chip and filters....

That guy got on the freeway in fron of me yesterday and I was wondering what it was too . . . well, at least until he leaned on it to change lanes and it sounded like a f-ing ricer and didn't really go anywhere. . . . .

Yeah when I got close to see the wheels, they were just regular tiny oem calipers I figured it might have been a nicely modded E500 but after reading your post above it makes me think it was just a pretty made up E320

yah, bummer . . . it wasn't a bad looking car at all . . .

W/his 320 Brabus B9, here's the funny part: I motion for him to roll down his window in heavy city traffic, he does and I ask him the million dollar question "Hey what is that a "55" just f-ing w/him?" 48-55 yr old man by himself answers "No, a E320 w/full Brabus Engine etc mods" Me "How much HP do you have?" him "Oh about 450 HP!!" Me I start laughing and roll up my tinted windows

He then proceeds onto the freeway (clear) tries to open her up, just pathetic! just as you said some ricer sound emanates from his quad tipps, & the lump looked like it was stuck in slow motion

What a lying sack! I looked up the Brabus site, he would need an 8 cylinder 6.1 liter increase to get 445hp, he has the reg non-diesel 6 cylinder 239hp..

Would've been cheaper (and faster) to trade it in on a real AMG.
