Just picked up my 2015 CLS 63 S AMG

Much different car than my 2012 CLS63. Shifts are way better and AWD is a trip. 100% stock for now....

Thought I'd share....

Not sure yet. Def going to drop it though Hyperion...lol. May just stick with a Weistec tune. Not going as far as I did with the last one...lol.

Oh and a res delete to get a little more of an aggressive tone.

Also getting the windows tinted and the rest of the chrome painted black...so it will basically look just like my last one...

I have 2 sets of down pipes also from my last car...catless and high flow cats. Thinking about putting the high flows ones on as well. We'll see. I'm more about building my C63 race car these days then messing with my daily.

staying tuned to see what's new with the car, and looking forward to feedback after you've had her a while........enjoy the ride

Wow that matte silver looks sharp, and the red/black interior pops. I'd definitely get rid of some of that chrome on the outside and make it black to match the wheels, spread the great contrast around the car.

You can also look into some paint protection film, they DO make it in matte texture so it blends in, and with that paint I'd definitely try protecting it if it were me.

Enjoy the new car brother!

Thanks Ryan. Met with the painter today. Sun Tamers in Orange County. They did a great job on the last car and yea...all chrome will be gone. Every last bit
of it...pipes, door handles, badges.....everything....I hate chrome almost as much as I hate BMWs...

Give me a few days to review but I have been driving CLSs for a long long time. First the 550, then the 63 6.2 NA, then 5.5 RWD B-turbo and now the S AWD. All have there differences. So far I love it though. The command center and rear view camera is amazing...way better than the previous models and it was about time...way behind the curve there for a long time.

This is my first AWD so I am getting used to that a little...

Congrats on the new ride. Gorgeous. The dealer is a similar one with black interior and blacked out trim. Very tempting but he wants MSRP. Care to share or send me an email on what you paid.

How do the shifts feel different? I have the 2012 and really like the tranny.

Congrats on a show stopper color combo!
