Poor turning radius?
 

Anyone note how poor the turning radius is and/or steering effort?

spr,
No you're the first to point this inconsequential fact. Thank you. Another reason not to buy a BS. :rolleyes: BTW, if you think the radius is substandard try driving a GR-R or for that fact any front wheel drive car.
As far as the sterring effort, I find it quite effortless at over 100mph.:)

Depends on how you turn.
Try this:
Turn off ASC
Select manual, first gear
Left foot on brake,
Turn wheel 1/4 turn in desired direction
Rev to 2,000
Release brake
You will turn within the length of the car- good by any standards, and almost no steering effort. Tell us how it works out for ya. AS

haha. Yeah but had a rental over the weekend as car was in the shop and noted the difference from the w204 c.

:rolf::rolf: that's exactly what I thought when I saw the title of this thread....... very short turning radius, never a problem for me!

Mine can do tight little circles on a 2 car wide driveway :nix:

Jim,

Your CLK Black Series is so fast that you could drive it around the block before an average person could figure out where reverse is located.

Tight is good in many ways... AS

Don't get me wrong I like the pcar like steering. I just didn't realize how much more turning radius regular mb's had etc.

I understood what you meant, I was not trying to bust your balls either. There are a few less degrees less L-R directional movement in the steering of a BS compared to a standard W204 CLK. I assume this might have something to do with tie-rods, front sway bar settings and maybe even the width of the front tires, maybe the fat tires rub if the steerring had as much L-R action
