clk 500 2003
clk 500 v m5

i have clk 500 2003 and was on the way home after work last week and came across a BMW m5 2003, and guy seemed up for it first off let me say i stick to specific rules when speeding to motorways for example brake if u can see a crash about to happen lol. anyway m5 was in-front for most of the time with me struggling to keep up don't get me wrong he never got anymore in-front than about 2 car lenegths. anyway after reaching speeds in excess of 150mph obliviously slowing down when we approached other traffic he let me take lead and as u will all know i could not pull away from him so he tried to go inside lane at about 120 and i managed to hold him off for about 4 seconds then car so decided to brake as not to cause accident lol. was very happy with how car performed, just had service b and could swear it is making the car feel more alive.

m5 will own the clk assuming its the e39 chassi it still out does the clk500 by a solid 100hp. no need to lie. i have a clk too I know what it can and what it cant do. you are not impressing anyone, go to a park and tell some kids that story you might be lucky and belive your story.

clk55
i think my bone stock clk55 will eat that m5 alive since I weigh 135lbs and the recent detail gives the car instant 50hps due to massive improvement of aerodynamic.... jk!

Well I agree with all of you guys.
You should try to keep up with a e39 540i before beatin an M5. FYI the E class w210 AMG coulndt beat the M5. the M5 would just it...

But guys no one is found guilty without provin it, so there is IMO 2 possibilities : 1 the M5 driver doesnt have a clue how to drive his car.
2 he perhaps just stayed in 4th gear and didnt change to 5th or 6th gear and this could explain why the clk was so close to it...

If its not one of the 2 possibilities I

PS: no bad intention just joking
