BRABUS… It’s a name brand that ties very closely to Mercedes Benz brand. Some may view BRABUS as a tuner; while some others view them as a manufacturer. While the tuner vs. manufacturer topic remain debatable, BRABUS offers many high quality products under its brand for Mercedes Benz cars. I traveled far for this week’s feature; Jakarta, Indonesia to be exact, where I met with Ferri (the owner of this super clean Brabus themed S210 E320 Estate). Weather hasn’t been too kind for photo taking in the past few weeks here in Indonesia, but I am glad that it cooperated momentarily for this quick photo session in South Jakarta.
Acquired in 2018, Ferri didn’t waste any time and went straight to work on his wagon. The first thing that caught my eyes from Ferri’s S210 is the single tuner theme that he went for – Brabus. Secondly, it’s hard not to miss the mighty fine Brabus Monoblock III 3-pcs wheels that Ferri selected as the final touch to his wagon. Lastly, I couldn’t believe my eyes on how clean this wagon really is! (The hot weather and humidity in South East Asia are notorious to be harsh on the car’s paint and finish) It definitely takes dedication to keep cars as clean as Ferri’s on this part of the world! RESPECT!
Ferri mentioned that he’s been very happy with how far his wagon has gone since he took ownership. Not much is planned for future modification; though he added that new headlights are planned for some time this year. “Enjoying the wagon” is what he’s got planned for it.
Ferri and I planned on meeting again for another photo session in the near future. Until then, enjoy these photos!
