I like.

 

The car looks sick!

Why two different types of rims? I love the true Brabus wheels.

Congrats and enjoy! So this car is fast? Can something like this come on runs with the crew?

 

+1, but apart from that its really nice!

 

Thanks for the comments guys!

I work for CEC (Brabus) hence the two different wheels, it is used for demonstration purposes.

It's slow -- it's only an ML350. Too bad it is not cost effective to do the Brabus engine upgrade on a demo car. I'd love to have the S V12S motor (700HP, 800TQ)!!

I'd love to come on some runs if I am invited. Let me know!

looks great

 

passenger side wheels FTW!

 

I like one ones on the left. Changes the look of it all together.

 

I have never been a "fan" of the ML but I think this is a pretty awesome example.

I am really digging the car's passenger side profile/rims; looks great.

One suggestion: since the ML has a rather angular design, maybe a dual rectangular exhaust would look better, imho.

 

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

About the exhaust tips -- Brabus has always traditionally done the dual-round tailpipe look and I assume they always will. They are a conservative tuning company and really stick to their "beliefs" so to speak. I do agree that something more rectangular may have fit the car better, but then, it wouldn't be "Brabus" styling. That's how these Europeans think!

Glad everyone seems to like it -- I looking forward to running into some of you around here. I can be found running around North NJ and NYC/LI most of the time. If you see me give me a honk!!!

Truck looks real clean>>> Claus has done some work on my Ferraris, Mercedes, and Rover in LA>>> Enjoy the truck and the wheels need some finishing IMO>>> Black with red lining on outer complimented with red Brembos<<< being from CEC, am surprised you dont already have that setup

 

looks really nice--i like the rims on the drivers side--kind of Cayenne like

 

Don't worry Deelaw -- Brembos are on their way!!

Who do you deal with in LA? Sherif?

If you need anything in the NY/NJ area let me know!

Again - thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

 

The ML looks pretty cool, but I do agree that the 700hp V12 engine would be better My nod goes to the wheels on the driver side, because they stand out more, letting people know that its not a run of the mill ML

 

looks sweet, im loving the VI wheels

 

passenger side wheels are great

 

Very classy looking ML! Way better looking that our previous ML500.

ML350 is one of the cars I am consiering as a replacement for the Cayenne and One of the fine attributes of the ML350 is its supple ride....how much does the ride deteriorate from the lowering springs and the large wheels. Also what does this treatment cost?

 

I am loving the ML. The ride is indeed much better than I anticipated. This car is not equipped with the airmatic suspension, therefore it is lowered with traditional springs. The ride is firmer than before but it is definitly made up for by the increased handling and grip from the Michelin tires.

If a smooth ride is what your after stick with a car equipped with the airmatic suspension and lower it using an electronic lowering module. This way you keep full adjustibility and the ride quality doesn't suffer.

The package consists of the following:

Front bumper add-on
Rear bumper add-on
Side skirts w/ illumination
Roof wing
Lowering Springs
Exhaust
Michelin tires (285/35/22)
Monoblock S & Monoblock VI wheels

With installation and paint your looking at about $28K retail. The airmatic cars are slightly more expensive, somewhere in the $29.5K range.

Any questions, let me know!

very nice ML...

im wondering whether you feel a noticeable slower acceleration with the bigger (and probably heavier) wheels.

I'm thinking of getting a ML350 in the future and would like to fit it with the brabus kit and wheels as you have done.

 

The car feels about the same. We did the exhaust and wheels at the same time, from what I have read the small HP and TQ increase you get from the exhaust helps to offset the extra weight of the wheels.

If your looking for an ML and/or any Brabus stuff, PM me.
