I can only imagine that the upgrades to the 550's engine, the brakes and all the other stuff costs more than just upgrading to the new E63. And you are still sitting 70hp south of the E63...

The Kicherer exhaust tips are WAY better than stock! they look like the new SL65 BS model tips...

I agree why on earth would any 1 w/scratch for these overpriced Brabus engine mods opt for the 550 model to begin withtho it's making 453 ft lbs of torque only 12 shy of the 63 motor..

The front 1/4 panels are sweet! tho the wheels/side skirts/rear bumper diffuser are PURE KRAP!!

I don't really like that Brabus wheels, but otherwise sweet looking car.

on the brabus i wonder if you can get the brake light on the rear bumper to flash like the ones in the F1 cars when they are in the pits or out in the rain. it would be cool.
