Here!

Brother in law got his CL55 today (Horizon Blue). Not sure of what options yet. Off the top of my head - phone, nav, keyless entry (maybe not, but the door handles have the infra-red squares), sun block net on the back, door panels light up), AMG Ash leather, Chestnut trim, not sure about tire pressure sensors, distronic, auto trunk closer, wood+leather shift knob, all season floor mats, car cover. Like I said I am not sure about all the options since some are actually standard, but that's what the car has.

I got into the car with a friend and he drove it for a bit. He hit it to 60 twice from a stand still and the car just flew like a rocket. I thought that the previous CL500 was fast, but this thing was MUCH faster. It threw us back into our seats. It did feel a bit more stiff though. The NAV screen is bigger and the console itself is much better and cleaner looking than the previous ones. As for the wheels... they were the regular AMG ones and not the twin spoke.

Gonna try to take a few pics tomorrow because it was drizzling and dark tonight.

Took a few pics today though they didn't come out that great due to the bad weather. Will try to take a few pics from the inside and outside later today if the sky clears up.

Gallery

Have fun.

My brother in law dropped by today to show me the new twin spoke amg wheels that he got installed at the dealership. Looked much better and sportier compared to the stock ones. The only thing I could tell off hand was that they were 18's, and that's basically it. Gonna try to get a few pics on the weekends if weather permits.

The twin spokes are nice. Mine should be here next week and I will swap the 5 spoke for the twin spokes then.

Wow I really like the twin spoke. What is it costing you all and are you trading in your other rims?

STEALERSHIP! No Way! Never buy AMG products from a dealer - they only sell retail. I was hoping for a discount online source.
