CLK differences

What's the differences between the pre-facelift (03-05) and facelift (06-09) models?

Also what are the differences between a 320, 500, 350, 550 besides the engine?

They all look the same to me. Can someone please enlighten me on this subject? Thanks.

body between the models have changed. go to a dealership and take a look at them side by side. you will for sure see the difference

interior too.

all you needa do actually is just google the pics and take a gander for yourself

Probably an early production.

Differences are, front bumper, tail lights, center console, radio and controls.

The only difference between the 06/07 CLK550(5.5L V8) and 500(5.0L V8) is in the interior and the engine

My 240 has the sensors like the 500... I've never known how to get them to work though as my manual is in Japanese...

That's the stock bumpers on the 500. All CLKs from 200K to 500 have stock bumpers(no amg package). I don't know about US cars but no CLK sold in Europe comes with amg package besides 55 amg. The AMG package is a option when you purchase the car.

All of the 500s I have seen here have the AMG package. This is the first time I see a 500 with the 320 bumpers.

For me, the minor changed on the AMG front bumper were the main reason I went with the 2006 Clk500 instead of the 2005 CLK55. Now I'm in the same situation again with the SLK55. I love the minor changed AMG bumper on 2009 SLK55 but it still kindna expensive right now. I'm willing to wait until the new model come out then the 2009 models price will drop like crazy.
