The merc is not a fake as in an A4 with RS4 badges,brabus offer upgrades for diesel mercs giving extra bhp and torque and also body styling,hence the D6 badge.

I never knew that and I would say a lot of other people didn't know it either.

Thanks

Those 'brabus' Diesel mercs aren't quite the epicdemic the Rs4 tdi is but the are getting fairly popular.

True but just because Brabus offer performance upgrades doesn't mean that this car has any... My guess is a bog standard 320 cdi with a bodykit, rims and a few badges....

It's not a bog standard 320, Des Cullen Cars brought in a lot of these a few years ago and they do have engine upgrades as well as the bodykit, wheels, etc. They're spotted and posted on this thread every few weeks and the same thing always happens, someone checks the reg, sees that it's a diesel and thinks they're clever and they can't be fooled that easily...cartell is not the be all and end all

+1

Many of these yokes came in with genuine Brabus engine upgrades. Brings power up to 272bhp and more torque etc etc.
