Hi All,

It has been an interesting few months for me and cars. I first came to the w203 AMG forum with my 02 c32. I sold that in late Feb this year for a 2003 clk55 that was quickly totaled. Now I am back with a 06 c55. Seems like a nice car so far. 92k on the clock. Needs motor mounts and valve cover gaskets. Beyond that I think it in good shape. I do wish it had all the features of my CLK but that is life.

Please detail the differences, thanks.

There are a few that i noticed right from the get.
1. no parktronics
2. no keyless go (didn't think i would care but it is nice)
3. no contoured seat adjustments (I have a bad back and the lumbar support was really nice)
4. no digital display on the HVAC control

There are a few other things I miss. The pillar-less look and CLK steering wheel. Besides that I just really liked the CLK. I was pretty much flawless and only had 60k miles on it. I had just done the plugs/wires and fuel injection cleaning too. Not to mention the fact that I lost my Renntech Monolites with that car.

This seems car to be bout 95% of the CLK though.

Is the seat supposed to move as well as the steering wheel when you enter/exit the car. My wheel moves but the the seat does not.

Mine did, but I found it annoying so I turned it off. Its an option in the computer, its called easy access or something like that.

Welcome back. That's the same year/color of my c55. Looks good man!

Just think, a sensor, push button start, $200 difference in 2 seats, and a digital vs analog display(plus the coupe body) were worth a $15k premium, new, to some people. The CLK seriously pushed the envelope of being a rip off.

you can get the digital hvac easy. BOught one for my c230 and then moved it to my c55 when I transitioned. Parktronic can also be added. Not much you can do about push start that is "easy."

can you name the symptoms of your worn engine mounts right now? im getting shaking at red lights but when the car is under load its fine.

Good sign that your mounts are DONE! time to replace... do the trans while you are at it.
