CLS550 4Matic
New Member!!!

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking here like I'm your neighbor peeking into your garage, and I must say, I've got a drool puddle going on.

I recently bought with my wife a fun car which was supposed to be temporary but seems like I might keep it for as long as she'll run. We got a great deal on a very lightly used 2012 CLS550 4Matic. Came pretty well loaded and so far I love it.

My mother also has one but 2014. We got a call from her saying she saw one in the showroom and next thing you know we're signing papers. This car was chosen over the Tesla Model S and we love it. Of course with any used vehicle there are some minor annoyances but I'm working on getting them fixed. I've been putting together a list of things to do but so far I've done some minor cosmetic things. I removed the dealer badging and the BLUEfficiency badges. Replaced them with the V8BITURBO badges because why not?!

More things to come, for now I'm looking at a set of new wheels to mesh well with it. I'll post pictures as soon as she gets a lovely shower and is all prim and proper. Hopefully I can pick your brains and get some input.

Cheers!
