ahh you know what? That thing was listed as a CL55, which I now see it's not. No V8 Kompressor badges.

Actually, it still could be a CL55. You will notice that the rear tail lights are the pre-2003 ones (larger and less horizontal red and white lights). The 2001-2002 CL55 did not have a supercharger and thus no "V8 Kompressor" badging.

Maybe all of us have been duped.

Remember the incident in China where a guy literally used a bat to hammer the crap out of his new BMW because it was such a lemon?

God knows, the guy probably thought the trench was a better home to the CL than the service bay. He could be one smart fellow!

But still, I love my CL very much.

That reminds me of an old issue of Road & Track, in their PS section.

There was a similar shot of a Ferrari Boxer that was in the same predicament. The driver was standing by the side of the road, and it had a caption like.... "As Bob thought about it, he said.... Good tires, yes! Great tires, no!"

That's what happens when you use the worthless MB nav system.

Look closely at the tail lights...they are the pre-2003 lights. Yours should have more "horizontal lines". It could be a 2001-2002 CL55 which did not come with side badges (and without the supercharger).
