I swear I've seen the car on this site....

It's a silver CLK55 coupe with rims I'm not familiar with (BBS-style) and the Lorinser DTM kit. Anyone?

...sounds like like a car Samir (Tecknik) owns. Sweet ride btw...and I'm sure he's done a lot of performance upgrade since I've been in it.

The only silver Lorinser CLK i've seen here is LORINSERCLKs.... I'm not sure if he has the DTM style but I don't think he's in CA...

I believe Samir has a silver 55 with Carlsson RS kit and 19" BBS LMs, he has mentioned selling his LMs before so I'm not sure if he still has them.

Ah, my bad- I guess it was the Carlsson RS kit I saw.

That was definitely Samir's car. He seemed less than interested in mine when I revved past him . He's got a pretty loud exhaust, but the tone wasn't as impressive as I expected.

Horrible- I'll never go back. Because they're convenient to me, I gave them 5 chances to service my car, each time I was disappointed. I highly recommend Downtown LA motors- they're always much less crowded than Beverly Hills Ltd (whose service dept usually looks like grand central station). I've had nothing but bad experiences at BH and almost all good experiences downtown.

maybe try santa monica...

i've always serviced mine in Santa Monica (W.I. Simonson) cause its about a 2 min drive from my office.

The service area is usually packed with about 6-8 benz (is that a bad omen?)... but i don't have any complaints so far.

good attitude... friendly advisors

Yup, I have seen his car at Muvico a few times . He has the Lorinser DTM body kit.
