What's your question?
The "K" in CLK doesn't mean you have any special option.
The "K" in CLK doesn't mean you have a Kompressor
It's just another letter in the Class or size of the vehicle.
I believe the "K" in CLK means Kompact
If you want to know more look on the MBUSA web page, they have a clear description of vehicle MB sells.
Best of luck to you,
Tim

TImster: Doesn't mean to be rude but I think he meant for the K3 or K4 packages, where it has the Xenon, or headlight washer, heated seat, and so on.

Leandro: As timster has said, go to mbusa.com, they will tell you which package has this option.

I don't want to know what the "K" for CLK means, I already know it means compact, and that the "L" means light. And as someone who has turbo'd a Mercedes already, I know its not supercharged!

I just want to know the what package a CLK has (ie. K3 or K4). I sit possible for a car to have multiple packages? The CLK I am getting seems to have K2, K3, K4. Its got 6 disk CD, heated seats, xenon, etc.

hinhin7,
Not a problem, I don’t think you were being rude. I thought his question was rather vague. It seams as though he has cleared up his question in other post.
Cheers,
Tim

basically the, k3, k4 are all just a name for the options you are getting. Their contents are all different in each optional pkg, and yes, you can get them all if you prefer. You can also get each options seperately (for Europe). For example if the k3 pkg contains moon roof and rear sun shade, it can be ordered by just the moon roof or just the rear sun shade. MBusa put'em together as "k" whatever pkg because most people usually order these options together. It's also their scheme to make a little more money because you can't just order one with out the other (in the US at least)

edit: yeah, and go look at MBUSA.com like Timster said.

if you want to know for sure what your car has in terms of packages... check your original sales window sticker...

if you don't have that handy, have the dealer reprint the list of factory equipment the car came with.
