The reason is that they almost sold the car and the person that was trying to buy it wanted to test drive. After he drove it down the street and back, they resume with the transaction, but it fell apart in the Finance Dept. From what I heard the person did not have a very long credit history and he was trying to absorb a lot of negative equity from his trade without sufficent down payment. By this time, we had rearranged the showroom with new cars and did not have enough space to put it back. They moved it to one of our storage facilities and put the key with the Sales Managers!

I asked myself the same question. WTF? I can only guess that is was another cutback from MB, so they can be competitive and still make profit. You only get the digital climate controls in the CLK500 and up models.

I was at Fletcher and the internet guy game out and took pics of my car, he said he is buying a white C55 and gonna blow it with Kleemann..

So at the end of the day thats around the same price as an E55 and the same HP/performance as a C32 with a Evo stage II (For alot less)

I am still not sold on the hype dudes....

It will be less than the price of an E55 and be faster than an E55 (and handle alot better). My wife has a C32 with Stage II (minus headers). It is putting a little over 350hp to the rear wheel. If you take a C55, put a Kleemann blower on it and do some ECU tweaking, you are going to put close to 450 at the rear wheel. Do some pullies intake/exhaust work, you could probaby get close to 500. A C32 isn't going to keep up with that.

I am deciding b/t the M5, E55 and a Kleemann C55 as my next daily driver. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the C55 with an LSD.

Probably more b/c I would do coilovers, wheels, SC, LSD, ECU sway bars, brakes and probably have some custom fender work done to fit 295s or wider on the rear.

Total cost will be closer to $30 - 35K.

I thought I saw a graph about the EVO stage III taking your C32 to 500 HP...

And why would you choose that over a new m5? I know its not out yet, but man for the money, you get an awesome V10 with factory warranty.

I really wanted the M5, but I can't deal with the way it looks, which is pretty important. I'm into tuning my cars, so factory warranties are not a major concern for me.

LOL. It's really cheap compared to what I put into my CLK. I'm just sick of the big cars and want a smaller sedan with stealthy superpower. I know I'll give up some luxury compared to the E55, but I think I'll have more fun driving the SCed C55.
