Hi folks, I'm back to give you an update...
Hi everybody,
thought I'd give you an update on what happened to my CLS-order. Unfortunately, it became a neverending story and I ended up buying a BMW M5 (well, I'm NOT disappointed that I got that car). I got it 8 weeks after ordering without any mark-up or MB-typical order-delays. Not bad and $20K cheaper than the CLS I ordered before (honestly, I don't know why the CLS was that pricy in comparison..
).
Here are a few pics of my new ride. I picked it up in Decatur, GA on April 1st (honestly!!)
.
So, now you have some kind of idea of my current ride - as I said, not bad at all! Sorry for "violating" this board with some Bimmer-pics but I thought some of you might know what happened to me (since I was quite active on this forum in the past)..
See you, folks....

Congrats on the new M5. I am sure it will provide endless miles of entertainment.
I post the front end again because this is the one angle that really looks great. Mean, purposeful and all business.

I guess my color choice can't be that bad - already got several compliments on that!
But as I said, just question of personal taste.....

Best looking M5 interior I have seen. Drive it hard and well!
I'd have considered an M5 but want the punch below 100mph and, well the exterior styling

nice choice...
the interior pieces can changed in no time, so its not a big deal.
it could use a tiny drop.
are you going to remove the charcoal filter?

Nice car - these M5's look so much better up close and personal - and that V-10 has one of the most glorious sounding exhaust notes I have ever heard on a street car.
Congratulations
Congratulations

yea, they are pretty much retards down at the mb stealerships, I hope you called the sales manager and told him your story better yet drive over there and show the sales manager your new car, or even the general manager.
