New CLS55 owner !

Hi all,
Just want to introduce myself here. Just bought a CLS55 last Saturday.
It has 20" rims 255/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear. The car is fully equipped and all stock. I feel it's not as aggressive as my E55 maybe the 20" make it slower reaction. So far love it ! Going to wash and wax next week and will post more pix. Here are some.

Nice pick up! Those facelift LED taillights are a good look!

I can tell by simply looking at them. The LEDs around the reverse light as well as under those. The pre facelift tails may have LED bulbs but not the housing, like yours. They aren't cheap and they look amazing so you should feel lucky!

Yay! You finally got one! I remember you were interested in mine before.

I think CLS is less aggressive cause it has few hundred pounds more but with those curves, does it matter?

Welcome and beautiful collection! How many miles do you have on your 2000 W210 E55 AMG? My cousin in Scotland has a W210 E55 he bought new in 2000 I believe, she still runs like a top even with 231k km on her!
Welcome again and enjoy those beautiful cars!
