Very sharp looking car. Price needs to be dropped a little (65k miles) though. (I know, I know, it will do 3X that easy, but starting at 65K is still high.) If car is clean and was maintained properly, with a lowered price, it would be a helluva deal. If any of you are bidding on it, then good luck.

Regards

LOL, right on. I've always been a black car guy. But after seeing some nice white Benzes, M3's etc., and knowing how easy it is to keep clean, I'm thinking about switching styles!

And those of you with those same rims, let's see some pics!!

Exactly! I've always been a black car guy as well and everytime it was a decision to get a paint job on my other little cars or sport bikes, it was always either black or white. And yes those white M3's are sexy!

White is so much easier to keep clean than black! But still theres nothing better looking than a clean black sports car with chrome rims at night in my opinion! Thinking of getting a new black paint job on my 98 CLK320! I'd sell it, but it isn't probably worth crap anymore anyways!

Depends if you want the real deal Brabus or some knock-offs. But if you want knock-offs then search ebay, they have plenty to offer you...

the beauty with white cars is that you dont see the swirl marks as distinctly as you would with black cars
White with black interior is slowly becoming a top color combo of mine... black just requires a lot of maintenance
but we are all enthusiasts here so no big deal right guys !

Beautiful car!! I always wanted to get a set of those rep Brabus wheels but could never find a supplier with the correct offset, so there is lip in the front and lip in the rear just like on the white car. If anybody knows how to get those same wheels on the white car let me know.

I think those are real brabus on the white car if you want that you will have to spend $4,000 to $5,000 for it other wise you will have to settle with the same wheels i have, but im not so sure if you can get them aftermarket with a huge lip on front. i did my research and i couldnt find any aftermarket like the white car.

They are not real Brabus, they are the same that you have. What kind of tires did you have put on?

They are replica Brabus but they look identical. Its hard to tell from real and replica unless the owner tells. I have Hankook (Ventus) K104 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 and no lugbots

I don't think those are real Brabus wheels either, I don't think they make
that offset for a CLK from Brabus. Must be replicas. sicrx65 (rest his soul) had the same replica wheels on his car in black and he had the big lip in the front and the rear too. Good luck on the lugnuts it was a ***** getting
them fitted on my wheel when ordering. I had to actually take the car to
the shop and have them measure the lugs from inside the rotor. The orignal
bolts were too long. I'm sporting a 35 offset in the front and 38 in the rear.

it's actually quite easy to tell the fakes from the real Brabus. You just have to know what to look for.

This is my second black CLK and I had the choice of getting white one but I thought it was too girlie looking. Lately though, I've been much more interested in white. First off, the white M3 is soo nice and I would take white in that car. The CLK is a toss up but everytime I look at it, it seems to grow on me more. So strange...

The wheels on the ebay car are different than the ones people on here are posting, the ones on ebay have a MUCH bigger lip. Those are very nice replicas...
