RIP CLS63
Driving home from a lunch meeting, Uber driver made a left turn from the right lane while I had the right of way (green) and he had a flashing yellow. Took this one right on the chin, my bell is still rung. I'm REALLY upset, I loved this car and it is absolutely totaled.

Glad you’re OK. Sorry about the CLS. It’s a great looking car. On to the next!

I doubt I'll get to part it out unless I buy it back from insurance. The car runs and drives still, nothing in the drivetrain was damaged. I should call Goonzsquad and see if they want it. I'm going to go and take off the spoiler, diffuser and mirror caps. THOSE ARE MINE.

I would definitely sell the diffuser unless I get another CLS63. Kind of unlikely because an E63S has been calling my name.

Will do I have to speak with my insurance first, confirm it's totalled, go through the entire painful process etc but I'll PM you when I get the green light.

Glad you are ok!
Sorry to see that beauty go though... I think you were the guy who helped me get over my hesitation on getting the 5.5 turbo platform, I was coming from a 6.2 c63 and I got the CLS63 P30.
I don't know about an E though... being in a sleek CLS63 with wider rears to an E with skinny tires - or was that the older generation that had larger wheel wells only on the CLS?

Been going back and forth with insurance, got a personal injury lawyer because I'm hurt so that protracts the process. Definitely totaled, I should get a check for the value of the car next week, insurance was relatively fair and that's not the part that I'm interested in litigating anyway. Now I have to find a damn replacement. Test drove a W213 E63 and loved it so I'm more than likely going in that direction. I have no idea why people are saying the suspension on the E is stiff.
