Firstly thanks for your welcomes, With regards to mods im going te get a remap first i think and then if anything it will be small upgrades.Now the question regarding BMW's, I haven only had the MB 3 days but already it feels tighter and better built.My list of BMW's were 1990 325i sport(good car), 1994 325i sport coupe(decent enough) 1997 535i(good car with a few niggles) 2002 M5(awesome performance but so expensive for parts) 1997 840ci(dont want to talk about it) 2003 745i(terrible) a 65k car which was only 8 yrs old and with 60k miles yet it leaked oil for fun, suspension was a dsaster and internal noises led me to punching the dash in anger!!! missfires warning signs lighting up although it was better than the 8 series.The CLK defo feels good and i love the drive, The car is total mint condition, Only down side is i loved the power of my last 2 beemers buti would give it up for a reliable car anytime.Will let u know how it goes.
Regards
Derek

Hi,
Just an update after a few weeks of owning my MB, I absolutely love it!! Feels very tight and very smooth in comparison to my 745i, No issues whatsoever, feels good not to have suspension issues and ol leaks etc.Only thing i done so far was fit a couple of K&N filters which i think makes it feel a little more responsive pulling away.Remap soon then tinted windows.
Happy days

Welcome - Also love the two tone interior!
I'm personally tired of the AMG plasticware on non AMG cars. I don't think it does that much positive for the looks. Can be a little vulgar.
