The 'so called' Brabus G 5.8 on ebay is actually NOT a 5.8 but did receive the Brabus B11 Kit. You can read more from the original owner and importer, 'Max'. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=164124&posts=9. Although the Brabus and Renntech Gs are rare and sound exciting their would be some amount of liability attached to a tuner conversion vehicle especially without a warranty. If your budget allows I would purchase eiher a '03 or '04 G55 which actually offered a better warranty then the '05 models as it also included maintenance. And in some cases these cars will have a factory preowned 6 yr./100,000 mi. warranty.

Good thing I didn't buy it then. It was represented to me, and on ebay, as a 5.8L Brabus by what must have been the second owner in CA. Mike Serpe had actually seen and ridden in the truck. He claimed it was really fast and Mike is fairly jaded when it comes to speed.

I wish the pictures came up on that old thread because maybe we are talking about two different trucks. The one on ebay now sure looks a LOT like the one that ran a few times just months ago. You sure could have the right one though as the seller is honestly listing it now as a B11 kit on a G500.
