pics right after we got the car from teh dealer... I will have a large comparative review of the CLS55 against the CLS63/M5/M6/SL55 ... it was by far the most impressive one!

I had been looking for 6 months for a new one to come for sale, with just the right spec (absolutely every extra bar distronic and active seats) ... and as soon as it came for sale i snapped it!

on those pics the car is still wearing the dealer plates... now it has Neu ULM zoll plates, and soon it will have bulgarian ones !

Tomorrow i will upload pics with the winter alloys (18` AMGs) ....

not stock.. they are optional 5-spoke ones.. the most expensive ones you can get... My second pair of alloys are the stock 18` AMG ones

this might be of interest to you guys, from another post of mine

If people are interested my car is almost run in now (2800km/h) so i raced a friends's M5 (he has 54000km on the clock) today.

50-170km/h run

CLS: manual mode 2nd gear, Airmatic Sport 2 setting
M5: m dynamic mode, SMG shift pattern 5, 2nd gear, edc (hardest setting)

he pulled on me from the start and remained roughly 2-3 car lenghts in front of me until we had to break quite hard.

0-160(ish) run..

CLS: Manual mode 1st gear, Airmatic Sport 2, ESP off
M5: NO LC, dsc off, SMG shift pattern 6, edc(hardest setting)

M5 messed up launch big time, lots of tyre smoke, i launched at around 1800rpm and got a good lead (about 6-8) meters, by 160ish he had caught up completely and we had to break

With so many cars, you should post into this thread as well.

Nice ride, not for my taste, but that's a really good car

Congrats

BTW, I'm now pretty sure that you are posting into a wrong (BMW E60 owners competition) forum
