I have also got my date confirmed as 24th August in Iridium Silver with full Amg Body Kit & wheels etc !! Note that you have opted for the Lingutronic option again , do you really use it to its full use, I know I never used it & usually just did it manually . [Fitting a chip will give the 320 CDI stonking performance 0-60 5.5 sec approx]

Caused a bit of consternation at MB when they asked what date I would like to collect from factory suggested mid September, nothing like a bit of pressure.
On the linguatronic, I find that the navigation works a treat with it especially on the continent, phone works well, radio favourites fine, some abortive results usually at high speed lots of road noise, not a lot of money for the option.

SEPT 2005 CLS 320CDI,
Alex,
Since spoken to Brabus, they have a mod due to upgrade power 272BHp, also 0-60 and Torque improvement, no final details yet, however ball park £2200 ($4000)for mod, ECU replacement. One point I was worried about is the Mercedes Drive Line element of the warrantee, Brabus work with MB and it is shares some board members I believe and MB Drive line warrantee is they tell me not an issue.
The CLS Brabus catalogue is interesting, with some Gee whiz items like external sill illumination, and it looks from pictures that rear apron is diffused and externally illuminated.
On the MP3 this was Command software mod undertaken by Mercedes see PM.
Regards
Liftman

Oh and one stupid thing you cannot have thro loading on a Right hand drive vehicle, its in the centre of vehicle within rear arm rest why RHD is different to LHD is a puzzle?
I cover about 35k per year UK & Europe no point in being uncomfortable, added AMG rear spoiler last week, may go with ECU upgrade undecided on that one at moment.
