is this the 360 forged cls63 ??

I'm looking to buy a used cls63. I came across this one on cars.com but I think it was the 360 forged cls and I dont really want to buy it if the car had nitrous run through it lol Does anyone know for sure if this was his car ?

I spend approx 30mins looking over all the old 360 post by jordan and also alot of different video on youtube and other site that was film by 360. license plate is different compare to what it shows on jordan CLS "L936Y" and on the link you listed has a different plate. but everything else about the car is pretty much a stock CLS63 with the same front lip.. try to do some research, if the plates are new or was it a transfer. hard to know for sure since alot of people were buying his wheels in the local area...

I try to dig but cannot find any solid answer beside the different plate number.

Thanks for the help. I would hate to buy the car and find holes in the trunk from the brackets that held the NOS tanks lol I'm definitely going to look into it deeper if I decide to make the purchase

The magic is in the vin. If you are smooth enough any benz dealer can give the info on the who and where, but there is a sure way to tell... reach out to J. Its a yes or no question for him, but it didnt take me long to realize that the rotors are different from the cars.com pic vs the video.


pause this video 24 seconds into it and you'll see the difference:

The picture you posted is of the rear rotor which is smaller. In the video it is showing the front rotor which is larger and comes on every cls 63

He'll tell you his car was green if he thought it'd get him some $$
