Help! Can anyone here speak German ?

A friend on cardomain that lives in Germany sent me this link:
http://www.mercedes-fans.de/

If you click on "Mehr", it will take you to the full 2 page article on my car. It looks like a good article but not accurate in certain areas, like wheel size and HP. They took my pics and used them without contacting me, lol! Not that I'm complaing because I love the coverage.

I can't read German, so if anyone wants to translate, feel free

Here is a link to the full article:

try puting the website in google translate. should give you a pretty good idea of what they are trying to say.

my favorite translated quote:
"Brent is really unusual for a W219 Mercedes, in the United States to circle zieht.Mehr ruckus, more Coarse and more bling in the form of quite a lot of chrome one would probably expect. Doch dem ist nicht so. But this is not so. The 27 year old and preferably another American Drive Style - and has come not only with regard to the choice of his companions Stuttgart's very German. "

they are the 360 Forged straight 5's, but I bought them from COR when 360 had problems. COR made them for 360 at the time. I like the new 360 forged straight 5 concave.

I think I read into that too much. I take it as a compliment now.
The editor contacted me, and I told them that I liked the article.

Hi Brent, it is definitively ment as a compliment. The wording of the author (mathias ebeling) is kind of sophisticated and the google translator does not catch his wording, which is definitivly fine. I recommend to ask your friend in germany.

Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself: my name is thomas ebeling, i am part of the Mercedes-Fans.de-staff.

did you recognize, that we gave you a two-page story?

Hi Thomas, and welcome to mbworld. I noticed that it was a 2 page article, and I thank you once again. Mercedes tuning is growing in the US, and will probably grow in numbers to match the BMW tuning crowd. This site is a great source to see the US tuners in action. You should search for another member here, "is3mike". He has another amazing cls, along with many other members. Some with amazing engine and performance upgrades. I will pm you a few links to some amazing upgrade threads posted by other members, which I'm sure your German readers would love to see. I think very highly of my underdog CLS500, and consider all upgrades to my car a success. Thank you again. Also want to thank all AMG members for support and advice. I started posting here long ago due to high modding activity in this forum. You guys have been really cool about me posting here.

Thanks Paul, and by the way, I won " Best of Show" at Tunerwars today, and walked away with a big cash prize. Thank you for your hard work and attention to detail on my parts.
