Considering BRABUS K8…
I’m considering to go for the K8 performance package. Can someone give me an idea of what the kit consists of? And how much it costs?
I would also like to have some feedback from K8 owners, and whether it’s worth all that extra money.

Part Number - 211-634-00 NA
Item - BRABUS Performance kit K 8
MSRP - $13,500.00
Labor - $1,500.00
Notes - for E 55 Kompressor, power increase of 61 hp to 530 hp incl. Vmax

For 13k$ that sounds kinda lame. Power increase of only 60hp?

The RENNtech Performance Package 4 includes Larger Crankshaft Pulley, Carbon Fiber Airbox, Stainless Steel Headers and ECU Upgrade for 13k$ and nets you 90hp.

4 wheels
Its not as insane as a Kleemann K4 package

Brabus is a waste of money IMO. I would only buy their new Monoblock S wheels. Everything else just seems crap for the money.

The additional $cash$ is not worth a badge. Brabus is sooo overpriced for the value of the product. Go with a Kleeman K4
