Weight Question

Is it true that the BS weighs more then a CLK63?
1760kg on the BS
1755 kg on the CLK 63 coupe

After all that was removed why does it weigh more?


thanks

Bigger brakes, bigger wheels, thicker and longer axles, heavier and longer control arms, heavier coil-over suspension, springs, plus remote shock resevors, rear strut tower brace (reg CLK 63/cab only have front), beefier internals in the liited slip rear-end, dual mufflers, wider heavier rear fenders. This stuff adds up pretty fast.

Yep, I forgot about those, probably a few more "beefed up" parts we are still overlooking as well.

And the little plaque that says "Black Series". It's small, but really heavy. Plus, there are no symbols carved into 13 blanked out accessory buttons. That adds a lot of weight. AS
