Rims on the way

Just picked the car up last week. Only option missing is night vision. Great car. I had a 2006 CLS and what a huge difference with the new model. I just left from an X6 that had nothing but problems once it hit 45,000 miles. I hope this can hold up better.

Just ordered wheels from Asanti that are being built and should be here in about 3-4 weeks. I had trouble deciding what wheels to go with but decided on Asanti 135's. I went with a brushed aluminum center with a chrome lip. Will post pictures once they arrive.

Congrats on the new ride. I sold my 2011 BMW 550 Gt for the CLS.
Felt the same way with issues. Post pics when new wheels are on.

good choice on going with brushed centers, but yeah bmw should make reliable cars, had two and both has problems.
