2008 E63 AMG
New Owner, New Board Member

Hello to all:

I have just purchased a 2001 CLK55 AMG. I have a 2003 CLK 320 convertible, which my wife drives daily, but I wanted a performance car. I am very excited about this. I am due to pick the car up on friday.

This car is an absolute gem. It is a coupe, 2001 as I said, but only has 23,000 miles on it, and has never been wet. It has been lowered an inch, and looks and drives great.

It will be my daily driver. I am also excited about being a member of this board, as it appears has some tenured and serious members here who will be able to help with all kinds of great info.

My plan is to modify the car in the future to add a chip, and maybe some additional perf features, but nothing radical.

Anyway, I am looking forward to e-talking with you all....

Bullett,

Willkommen! Good choice on that CLK55. If you need any info for future mods no need to look somewhere else other than Kleemann USA! Can't believe Chappy hasn't chimed in yet on this? He should be all over this like he is on his CLK55!

Thanks Chappy.

I would actually like to look into wheels. My CLK320 has MB 18's that are a little more spoked, and mirrored finish.

In any event, lots of ideas, but happy for the moment.

You have to go through an authorized Kleemann dealer for pricing. Click here for authorized Kleemann dealers. Or since you're in North Carolina your closest local dealer is...

GMP Inc.
710 Pressley Road
Charlotte, NC 28217
Tel: 888.488.2028
Fax:704.523.4910

What were you looking to get a price on?

I see. Those items you mentioned above will cost about $12k plus install. Which is worth every penny. Because after that you'll feel like you're CLK55 has been re-born again! If you think that car is fast now.... you'll be like this afterwards... :v

Time to post the rap....(rappin' to Snoop Dogg's Drop It Like It's Hot)

[intro]
Chaaaaaaaaapp..
Chaaaaaaaaapp..

When the nitrous in the crib ma....
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
When the dirt try to get at ya....
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
And if a bimma gets an attitude....
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
I got the COMAND center on and I'm pourin Mobil 1
And I roll the Michi tires cause I got it goin' on


Uh! I'm a not a rice dude, with some rice dreams
See these AMG pipes, see these hot ma-chines
Multi-talented playa, garage full of benzos
Take me an SLR over an En-zo
The Maybach, painted in a tu-tone
I’m chillin’ in the back on da telly fone
I will relax you, this can be your day off
Go home early ma, that's how you get a laid-off
Won’t catch me to-day, u know my ponies don’t play
Wit the headers that'll make you feel like Chinchilla in the heat
So don't try to run up on my crib, M3 blastin that raspy tone
Wanna make u gone
When my techs fill-da-NOS bimmas ain't gon pass me
You should think about it, take a second
Matter fact, you should take four B
And think before you try it wit lil A-M-G


When the nitrous in the crib ma
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
When the dirt try to get at ya
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
And if a bimma get an attitude
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
I got the COMAND center on and I'm pourin Mobil 1
And I roll the Michi tires cause I got it goin' on


I'm a driva, but y'all knew that
Da AMG stunta, yeah I had to do that
I keep a checkered flag hangin out my backside
But only on the left side, yeah that's the win side
Ain't no other way to play the game the way i play
I’ pavin so much you thought i was a drive-way
[scratches] "two!" - "one!" - "yep, DRIVE"
C-H-A double P to the Y
I can't fake it, I just brake it, and when I take it
See I specialize in makin all the BMWs spew hatred
So bring your friends, all of y'all come inside
We got world premiere right here, now get live!
So don't shift yo tranny, let the AMG burn it up a little
I got a 3-car garage wit da CLK in a middle
Fo shizzle, watin on delivery of da new S-clizzle
G55's to the bizzack, now homies here we gizzo


When the nitrous in the crib ma
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
When the dirt try to get at ya
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
And if a bimma get an attitude
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
I got the COMAND center on and I'm pourin Mobil 1
And I roll the Michi tires cause I got it goin' on


I'm a fast boy, wit a lotta wheelz
Drive my own cars, with seats a Nappa
By now, u know I’m no rappa, I'm my own Bo$$
Big Chapster, yea he's so strong
Playa…..got it goin on
If you tailgate me once, you're on a high beam
Oh, you got a bimma so you wanna hop back?
/////A.M.G. now fool, stop that!
C mid shoes, now I'm on the move
You're tires cryin, now you in the back
They can't see you, my xenons they blind you
Must I remind you I'm only here to OWN you
Beat you, pace you and race you
Then dance with yo pinkslip right in yo face
Climb in, the AMG playas ain’t playin’, I’m sayin’
Let us teach you before another AMG beat you!


When the nitrous in the crib ma
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
Spray it like it's hot
When the dirt try to get at ya
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
Wax it like it's hot
And if a bimma get an attitude
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
Stomp it like it's hot
I got the COMAND center on and I'm pourin Mobil 1
And I roll the Michi tires cause I got it goin' on
