6.1! *pant* *pant*
Depends mate.

Brabus will supply you with a brand new car or will tune one you already own.

If you want to buy a 6.1 S via Brabus they will order an SLK55 specced as you require but without the parts they will modify, normally that means the car will be built without an engine and transmission system the car will be sent to Bottrop and Brabus will then complete it and ship it out to the dealership.

Or if you already have a 55 and want the 6.1 they will remove the existing parts and modify as much as possible but its basically a new engine so many parts are replaced, when mine was done i had to follow break in again.

For the B55 mod they can use your existing engine and modify it.

A 6.1 will set you back almost the cost of 2 55's and the B55 will leave you recovering from open wallet surgery.
