torque monster arrives
#1
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) ....

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

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
