Doors, Lightweight?

Test drove a CLK55 and found the doors very heavy.
That was a non-BS CLK55.

Are the doors of Black Series CLK55 as heavy as that of non-BS CLK55?

What about DTM CLK 55? Does DTM CLK 55 have lighter doors?

first of all, Black Series CLK is 63 not 55; second, CLK DTM has no numbers, not 55 nor 63.

regarding all questions about the CLK DTM can be found on page one of this sub-forum, the on-going multi-page thread regarding that car, can't miss it.

The BS doors are heavy, but you don't have to worry about them being blown off.

Thanks mate, your answer is what I was searching for.


Some cars offer Light Weight Doors such as E36 M3 Aluminium doors. I thought BS could have such a feature.

Thank you 1 more time.
