I am a believer. Just turned my E46 in on lease and made the mistake of driving a CLK55. Now I must have one! The torque difference really makes a big difference once you get rolling.

Do any of you gurus know of a good 208 CLK55 AMG for sale? Some Mods are okay, but I don't want anything crazy modded out.

Hey thanks for the reference!

I was actually thinking of jumping into a Bimmer - a 335i to be exact =)

Please let me know if you are interested.

Rgds,

Oh yeah!!! I almost forgot to tell you this....I made the same mistake driving a C55. I took my 430 in for the A/C check up and while I was waiting there they handed me the keys to a 05 C55 and that thing felt like a monster. Now my 430 just does not quite cut it anymore

This is the only reason I am selling my 430...If this bad boy does not sell then I have to do some serious mods to be happy with it. I need at least 360HP to be happy with it. Hell it might be worth it.

I know Blackbenz is going to do some serious tuning to his 430 so maybe I need to get with him.

Rgds,
I am very interested in it. The only thing is that I need to sell mine first. If you want I can hold it for you at my house till I sell mine. This way you dont have to worry about a place to park it and just worry about your 335.

No prob on the reference by the way!

How reliable are the CLK55's as a daily driver. I will probably get one that is bone stock. I know most Mercedes are very reliable, how about the 55? I am getting ready to go back to school and I don't want something that is going to conk out on me and cost $5k to fix.

By the way, thanks for passing Holson's 55 along. It is very nice.
