Its really nice looking, however I find the C55 much prettier, forgive my stupidity, or lack of notice, but are those 3 spoke wheels on the coupe? The photos are so dark I cant really see them.

well Id assume the coupe was lighter then the 4 door right? Not to mention the porky V8 weight, when it comes to cornering 1000 horseys under the hood is nothing to having 1000lbs less going into the corner.

Talking about coupes...Hey Gary..youre like an expert on the coupe..lol.
I was wondering if you had any issues with the suspension on the rear? I have the infamous squeaking suspension...obviously the knee-jerk reaction is to blame it on the bushings...but I've sprayed silicon lube on all the bushings and joints and pretty much everywhere I saw rubber or a joint lol. Emptied the entire can...but the squeaking is still there a week later.
When I was underneath I noticed that the squeak seems to be coming from where the spring and the strut rest (I guess its called the lower perch)...its like a black housing covered on the bottom and open on the top where the spring and the strut rest.
Any suggestions on what I can do to fix that...if youve run into the same issue?
Thanks man.

haha thanks guys! I really thought about buying a CPO 06/07 C350 coupe 6 speed as a DD!
^I had that problem, check ur rear struts, the strut plastic tube may be bent, it happened to be before.

^haha that's some what true.
The coupe was a very fun car to drive, it wasn't a quick car, but it sure handled like a sports car!
I had the coilovers dropped to the lowest setting, widest sized wheels possible, front and rear sway bars!

Power isn't everything 
Maybe a big majority but you can mash the gas pedal and have some fun with it
