This 2001 Mercedes-Benz Brabus ML58 began life as an ML430 and was modified by Brabus North America between 2001 and 2003. Finished in black over Saffron leather, it is powered by a bored and stroked 5.8-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system. Brabus modifications include bodywork, exhaust, interior appointments, and 20″ wheels. The vehicle was sold on BaT in May 2019 to the selling dealer, and it now has 78k miles. Service performed under current ownership totaling approximately $8k has included replacement of the valve cover gaskets, oil filter housing gasket, lower ball joints, front brake components, serpentine belt, transmission fluid and filter, transfer case and differential fluid services. This Brabus ML58 is now offered by the selling dealer in Florida with partial service records, a window sticker, books and manuals, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Minnesota title.
The body is finished in black (040) and features Brabus-specific front and rear bumper covers, fender flares, badging, and side skirts along with facelift-style W163 headlights, smoked LED taillights, a sunroof, and polished exhaust outlets. The seller notes the Brabus conversion was completed by Brabus North America between 2001 and 2003. The majority of the gallery photos were taken in September 2025.
Brabus 20″ Monoblock IV wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 tires. Braking is handled by ML55 AMG calipers. Service records from July 2019 show replacement of the lower ball joints in addition to replacement of the front brake pads, rotors, and wear sensors.
The cabin is upholstered in Saffron leather with burl wood trim extending across the dashboard and center console. Brabus interior appointments include a shift knob, floor mats, and door sill plates. Additional amenities include heated power-adjustable front seats, navigation, a Bose sound system, cruise control, rear headrests, and automatic climate control. Service under current ownership has included replacement of the master power window switch and the rear cargo cover, while the air conditioning system was recharged in 2025.
The Brabus wood-and-leather steering wheel frames a 180-mph speedometer and supplementary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 78k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. The instrument cluster was recoded in July 2019.
The factory M113 V8 is said to have been bored and stroked to 5.8 liters by Brabus using a custom crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods. The seller notes additional modifications include ported and polished cylinder heads with revised camshafts and larger valves along with Brabus engine management software and a Brabus exhaust system. July 2019 service included replacement of the valve cover gaskets, the oil filter housing gasket, and the serpentine belt, while the magnesium valve covers were powder coated. Additional work under current ownership has included replacement of the engine air filter, rear exhaust hangers, and an exhaust clamp.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift capability. Service performed in July 2019 included replacement of the transmission fluid, filter, and gasket in addition to transfer case fluid and front and rear differential fluid services. A shifter bushing was replaced in 2025, and another transmission service was completed within the last 1k miles.
