The BRABUS Tuning Program for the New M-Class

Exclusive, individual and powerful: These three attributes best describe the brand-new BRABUS tuning program for the new Mercedes M-Class, model series W 164. Naturally BRABUS backs all components with the unique BRABUS Tuning Warranty of three years up to 60,000 miles.

BRABUS offers the world's most extensive engine tuning program for Mercedes-Benz automobiles, which naturally also includes the new M-Class. For the CDI Turbodiesel models the BRABUS powerplant engineers have developed the BRABUS PowerXtra performance kits, which are TÜV-certified even for vehicles equipped with a particulate filter. Models tuned with PowerXtra performance kits meet the same stringent emission limits as their production counterparts.

For the top-of-the-line diesel model ML 320 CDI BRABUS designed the performance kit D6 (III). It provides a maximum power output of 272 bhp and an enormous peak torque of 435 lb-ft at just 1,600 rpm.

The BRABUS engine tuning program for the gasoline models ranges from the B7 performance kit, which boosts power of the ML 350 to 287 bhp, to the 445-bhp BRABUS 6.1 S displacement engine for the ML 500. With this engine and its impressive peak torque of 468 lb-ft at 4,500 rpm the 4x4 accelerates in just 5.5 seconds from 0 – 60 mph and reaches a top speed of 163 mph.

Custom-calibrated BRABUS stainless-steel sport exhaust systems with four chromed tailpipes are available for all M-Class engine variants.

For customizing the appearance of the new M-Class and to add further exclusivity BRABUS offers an innovative and attractive appearance package. The front bumper is refined with the BRABUS off-road molding, whose high-gloss chromed elements can be combined either with a chrome-like surface or with body color painting. The 4x4 gains further character with custom-tailored auxiliary BRABUS high beams and fog lamps.

The sill areas can be optimized aerodynamically with BRABUS side sills. Entrance lights integrated into the sills combine elegant design and added safety: The entrance lights are activated by pulling on a door handle or by using the standard keyless-entry remote.

The rear of the M-Class is refined with the BRABUS off-road molding, which is available in the same color combinations as the front molding. It creates the perfect backdrop for the BRABUS exhaust system with four tailpipes.

The largest wheels from BRABUS for the M-Class are king-size BRABUS Monoblock VI 10Jx22 light-alloy wheels. The fully polished one-piece wheels feature six striking powerful double spokes and offer maximum strength and durability. BRABUS technology partners Pirelli and Yokohama provide the optimal tires up to size 265/35 ZR 22 in front and size 295/30 ZR 22 on the rear axle.

The BRABUS suspension components are specifically calibrated to these tire/wheel combinations. For vehicles with conventional steel springs BRABUS offers a choice of sport springs for a ride-height lowering of about 1 inch or a sporty yet comfortable sport suspension. For M-Class models with AIRMATIC air suspension the BRABUS suspension engineers developed a special control module that lowers the ride height also by about 1 inch.

To further optimize the active safety of the new SUV BRABUS offers high-performance brake systems in various configurations. The top-of-the-line version features 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the front axle in combination with vented and perforated 380 x 36-millimeter discs. Together with six-piston fixed calipers on 355 x 28-mm brake discs in the rear they provide stopping power normally reserved for purebred sports cars.

Another BRABUS specialty for the new Mercedes M-Class are exclusive interior options: Stainless-steel sill plates with illuminated BRABUS logo, an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and leather-clad door trim elements are available upgrades to the stock equipment as are exclusive BRABUS fully leather interiors masterfully crafted from combinations of the finest Mastik and Alcantara leathers.

The BRABUS electronics specialists developed a custom-tailored multimedia system for the Mercedes M-Class, whose various equipment levels can be integrated stylishly into the interior of the SUV.
