Brabus list a "B10 Tuning Kit" for the E430 on its home page, claiming +27hp increase. No details or price readily apparent.

They also list a V-Max release chip for the same car.

Anyone have any experience with either of these?

Thanks

I read the same ad & was interested in tuning my 2001 E430 Sport, therefore I contacted Andreas Bellgardt@ Brabus and according to him B10 tuning kit is not available for the E430, & the V-max chip is to eliminate the computer controlled speedometer. They do offer an exhaust system w/ gains of 10-15%HP for $1200, also for $32,000 they can increase your 4.3 to 5.8 producing 400HP.

OR, for about 10k dollars, you can install a intercooled supercharger kit from Kleeman. We (our shop MB Autowerks) is now the first official authorized dealer for Kleeman. I have seen pictures and dyno results. The product is first class.

I was wondering when Kleenman was going to get an authorized dealer here in North America... Great job Benzmac. Just goes to show how first rate your shop and its performance offerings will be once it's up and running. I'm sure you will attract many visits. I do have one question for you though regarding their boost kit for the C230K. Do you know how much it costs and what is its effectiveness on the car? I, as are many others, am looking for low end HP and torque for my car. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
