For me it would be almost 6 or so...all got replaced with genuine parts.

- valvebody sluggish
- SRS failure
- step motor failure
- Climate control malfunction
- Cup holder failure
- Emergency brake cables siezed

and a few other minor electrical problems..

i have the first generation of w209s so i knew i was going to be prone to bugs...

W209, E46 M3 (dead), S54 swapped E46 Touring
i think it would just be my radio only working when it wants to.

i still havent found out how to fix it. everytime i jump in my car and turn it on and notice no power to the radio i check the fuse and switch it out even though the fuse is still good. i know its probably just another CLK electrical bug but i want it fixed. i'm thinking of getting a double din and dont want it just sitting there looking nice if its not going to work.

hey you might wana change out your battery thats what happen to my buddy (CLK 500-05). His radio is just shut off whenever it want to then it get back on later but since he replaced his battery to the new one the problem has gone.

For my CLK I have never had any problem since the day one I bought .
