Pic Request!!
Guys, I've been in love with the CLS55 since it came out, and I'm seriously contemplating selling my Supra for one. Only problem is, I can't decide what color I want! My two main choices would be white/black interior or barolo/bordeaux red/ black interior, does anyone have pics of both colors? I saw a red one the other day and I was in love, stalking it for a few miles before I turned off. Silver and black are out of the question as I see a few of those running around and I don't think they do the car justice, another option would be Designo Graphite but there's probably only 50 of those in the country.
Another question, does the 030 really make that big of a difference as far as handling goes? How much is the brake feel improved?
Your input would be much appreciated.

I have the 030 on my CLS55 - but I cannot say that the LSD makes the car any better off the line, or around the corners. Can still light up the rear end at will. The compound rotors are however MUCH lighter then the old one piece rotors, but I also cannot tell you that they feel any different to the brakes on my old E55.
Despite the above, in my opinion, if you re into performance, and thats why you like the 55k, well then pony up for the 030 package - forget about all the cosmetic options - go for all the goodies that will keep you out in front.
Just my $0.02
