Hello all,

I really have to show off but I have to say that I will be the new owner on Friday of a CLK55 AMG coupe. I will pick it up in Sindelfingen and will drive
it straight on my holiday ,so I can run in the motor for the first 1400 km.

Pictues of the facelift AMG CLK55 will follow soon. I can tell you that
it comes in obsidian met. schwarz/black with alcantara black leather.
Has DVD Navigation new update and CD-changer with mp3 capability.
Comes with Harman Kardon surround, anti theft alarm, sunroof, confort seat.
bi-xenon

I did not choose keyless go and distronic. Distronic front does not look nice
and keyless go has internal some safety qualification which makes car theft
easier. Also as I am a pilot and frequent on airports the high frequency band interferes with the keyless go system sometimes.

Take care America,
Greetings from good old Germany,

COngrats on your new car and please post pictures..... i am sure it will look amazing!!!

 

I go on Thursday 16th June to get my new car from Bremen. I'm also doing the tour.

I'm getting 280 Coupe in Metallic Black w/ Black leather. Command, Parktronic, Sunroof, CD Changer, Bi-Xenon, Sports Package, Automatic gearbox, Thermotronic, Folding & Dimming Mirrors.

I didn't bother with Keyless-Go either, I didn't see the point whatsoever. Sounds good but no thanks. Distronic - I didn't see the point in that either. I'll drive thanks. TV-Tuner - considered that, but like when will I watch TV.

One thing that I was disappointed in was that the Command system couldn't play movie DVD's and the option for the mini screens in the back of the headrests. The CLS and S Class command models do (have the option for DVD Movie play back) so why not make this a cost option for other models, I'm sure it would sell, even if $/€/£500 more.

Ahh well Merc will learn one day.

 

I doubt MBZ could add the DVD video option and headrest monitors for $500, and besides, the CLK is too small in the back for long rides. Might as well get the CLS or S-class for those longer rides.

We got the keyless go with our w209-500. LOVE it! very convenient to walk up to the car and go, without fumbling with keys.

 

What does this stand for?

 

I meant just to add the option for DVD playback for $500, as opposed to $500 for DVD playback, and the headrest setup. Now I'd expect to pay a few grand for that option. No point either on a CLK either... unless you ride with dwarfs a lot of the time.
