New CLS owner GTA

Hey all,

So, After several years with Audi's and BMW, I finally made the jump to MB!
Just confirmed my purchase yesterday on a 2015 CLS550, very pumped about it.

I am still trying to sell my BMW F10 550i, so hopefully that happens soon.

In the meantime, I haven't even received my car yet but I'm already rim and tune/etc shopping.

Do you guys meet up regularly? What should i do first with my ride?

Look forward to meeting my new fam

Dan

I see your posts @ f10.5post.com in the past (as I was also a F10 550 owner)

Congrats. You bought from dealer as CPO ? As for mods, it is all up to you what you like the car to achieve, power or look first. I would probably think a good detailing job is the first thing to do.

There is no regular meetups here for the MB crowds, unlike the bimmer 3 and M3/4 series.

Thanks..I bought from a dealer / CPO. I want a balance like I have with the F10, I was thinking Wheels first then detailing (have a great connect) and maybe rear diffuser/exhaust or muffler tips combo. Looking at lowering modules as well but unsure.

In terms of piggy back flash tunes, are there any easy ones to hook up to these engines? The BMS JB4 I have takes like 10-15 mins to put on or take off, that would be ideal.

I will look out for any meet ups/events...cant make the Go karting one as I am away.

Nice to meet you...

Dan

You got it

Thanks...getting spacers on it, unsure about tune and links or LOMO...but CLS 63 diffuser and tips for sure.

Can anyone recommend what I should do to the exhaust to make it a little more aggressive without droning or sounding like a tractor?

Thanks

Allen and Kat are good friends of mine, small world. Id call eurocharged Canada and see if they can get you the hub less spacers
