I saw the listing for that car a week or two ago. Glad it found a home on the board.

Congrats on a rare find. Great buy, IMHO. Hard to find a 2005 in that good of a condition these days.
These cars get smoother as the miles pile on. They do burn about 1 quart of Mobil-1 0W-40 every 3,500 miles or so, but that didn't start happening until after 60K miles, and only when I drive long distances in a given week (i.e. trips more than 125 miles each way continuously).

very clean glad you did your research and waited around. Let me know what you run with the headers and tune at the track. My best was 13.1 stock so maybe you can get into the high 12's. Thats great you've had track experience with your previous clk. I cant stand it when I see members here who purchase amg's and mod them and have never been to the track even once to test it out

Once we get that sweet spot of 40 degree weather, I will hit the track up.

Rotor clk55
Lovely car.
What is the size of the front rotor in your Clk55 ?
It doesn't look like 2 pieces rotor from the photo.
Can you please let me know if it really is 1 piece rotor and the size? 340mm
Thanks

I was on my phone during the first post, so I didn't realize you were a Fin! This thread is Almost 5 Years old. I think you are ok.
