CLS55
Purchased a CLS55

Just dropped the SLK55 for a CLS55, black/black. Loving the car, put all but 50 or so miles on it.

Would post pics but forgot my camera's USB cable in Orlando. Will have pics within a few days though.

CLS55
This car was not ordered by me. I purchased it at Prestige Imports with 3k miles. After seeing it in person it's practically a new car. Not a single scratch. Even with all the bad reputation that dealer has behind them, I was treated like gold.

I dropped a CLS63 order because it didn't have the 030, and also couldn't see myself waiting until the end of the year to get one. I didn't sell a single part, not even the wheels. The SLK will turn out to be a great buy to the next owner!

As for now, loving the CLS55. The ride is so much smoother than the SLK55's.

Just Kleemann ECU, Green Filters, and Evosport Underdrive pulleys. These little mods did pretty good for the car, it was quite fast.

Neal, I ordered my filters. It's been 2 hours already, shouldn't they be here by now?
