Kleemann Supercharger

How many ML 320/350 owners would buy a Kleemann Supercharger for your ML if the price was $5,000 installed?

I don't remember seeing any ML 320/350 with a Kleemann Supercharger and I am wondering why???? I probably have about $6,000 in mods on my ML 320. Another $10,000 for a Supercharger is more than I can rationalize (given the current value of the vehicle), but if I could get a Supercharger for about $5,000 that would be appealing.

I am just wondering how many MLers out there would buy a Kleemann if the price was right or if people just aren't interested regardless of the price.

This is a great poll I can't wait to see the results!

I was first interested in a Kleemann in 2003 but it was $15K[not even installed]. The price dropped to $11K for the kit and I found I could have it installed for about $3K to $4K more at a Mercedes dealership. From a purely financial standpoint where you consider value and return on investment---well, there basically is none. It would have been cheaper for me to buy a used ML55[and do ZERO mods] then to have bought a used ML430 and drop in $25K worth of mods. BUT, I would have wanted to do mods to the ML55 and still would have wanted a Kleemann but I could not afford to do that to an ML55.

How many of you are considering a Kleemann even at the current price?

you are completely wrong. you can not get the 5.8 brabus upgrade for 5k. and its not a new motor, its your motor bored out.

RE: Kleemann Supercharger

sorry for the misinformation...how much would it be to get your engine to brabus status?
