Just bought a clk63 BS

😬😬✌🏼️☺️ So I just bought a beautiful clk63 BS in white I'll post pics when I get her on Saturday. But my question is (and this is not just for BS owners) how do other owners deal with a car so low to the ground and not hit parking curbs? Are you guys super careful or just park far from it always or maybe just always back it in? I am thinking of putting a lip under it to make sure I am safe but I don't really want to do that I want to keep the original feel of it for as long as I can for now. Any tips?

congrats on the new car beautiful machine you have bought, I may not be as low as a BS but in my 211 (which I have lowered via star) I added a lip which scrapes over my steep driveway or heave dips, honestly all you can do is take it low and slow possibly at an angle and just hope for the best

Ya I think the lip is a must I use to accidentally scrape my clk500 on parking bricks all the time thinking I had enough room and that's way higher than the BS. I'll just back it in all the time for now or park really far away.

Congrats! I just don't pull all the way into the space. That sound of scrapping/hitting those bump stops is terrifying.

I spotted some devices on Amazon that aid parking.

I am not as close to the pavement as you are but still embark a parking block once in a while. It hurts Bro.

The devices are cheap knock off and will chime in on parking blocks or road debris. Audible alarm with a LED distance gauge. I will likely try one in the near future.

I do not expect it to last forever but it may help getting familiar with some of the electronics for fabbing a really nice one. The sensors locally are pricey.

Cheers
