A month delayed, but finally my new ride!
Details:
CLS400 rear wheel drive
P1
non-airmatic
.. other stuff
So far I love this thing! It's so solid and smooth. Man what a gangster car this is, it's just plain striking. I've only had it one day and already had two people make comments when I stopped.
I love the styling, the power is solid and surprisingly quick, like more-than-enough-quick for this kind of car. It doesn't make you say holy **** like a 550 does, but sincerely just about.
The car came with those lame 18 inch wheels that are standard on the non wheel package cars, and I swapped them out within 20 minutes for my s63 19 inch replica wheels and some fresh rubber.
FYI on the wheels - These (pictured) are 45ET all around - the rears required no spacers, the fronts required 12mm spacers and some longer lugs - everything bolted up perfectly.
Check it out, I love it - I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and drive around somewhere.

Looks great! Indeed CLS are awesome cars. I also had Paladium Silver on the '14 that I just turned in in March. By far my favorite car that I have had yet. I liked it so much I even didn't want to turn it in for the E550 Cabriolet I had coming for summer.
