CLS55
Newbie intro

Hello all. Not sure if this is the right room, but as a member of a few other forums, I know an intro is in order. So... I'm a Bimmer guy of 20 years and about 5 years ago I saw a car I couldn't take my eyes off of. The show Top Gear also ran a feature on it which didn't help. So, a few nights ago, I caved and bought my first Benz. It's an '06 Black on Black CLS55 with 60k+ miles. Although the car is 5 years old, it is still overwhelming to me. The features alone make me feel like a monkey sitting in a space shuttle. And the power... good lordy! Sadly, the purchase was not a dream, and I feel like I got swindled a bit due to my lack of knowledge of these cars. I'm still working out what I was told versus what I was sold. Either way, I expect to be ever present on this forum. As a member of other car forums, as well as other toys and collectibles, I hope I can give as much help as I ask for. So, that's my story. Now, where's the free pullley to new forum members, lol!

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Welcome to the forums!
Nevermind being 5 years old, that's a great car and will still turn heads today.

You're right to want a pulley.
It'll increase the fun factor a bit more.
