good day! considering to purchase an 07 CLS500 here in Australia.
its a 5.5li engine but the CLS550 designation did not come out here down under.

heres the VIN for ref: WDD2193722A111980

anything I SHOULD look out for with this year model?

thanks in advance!

I have mine for almost 9 yrs now. Only 51,000 miles and still loving it. No big problems until few months ago the ECU was acting up but found out it had a 8 yr. warranty, so it went bad just in time and dealer changed it out for free.

Thanks mate! Now apart from the air suspension, is there anything else that W219 owners lookout for like the SBC brake from the early W211.

thanks you so much for that mate! i was hoping you would chime in!

with the data card. do you see anything "special" or "not there" when it was originally ordered?

im not very familiar with the C219 so...

You can review MBUSA marketing brochure here http://www.auto-brochures.com/mercedes_benz.html to get an idea of options available for MY07.

is "ABS, electronic brake force distribution" the same as "SBC" brake system that is found on pre-facelift W211?

what type of braking system does an 05-06 CLS have?

im hoping to trade my E to get away from the SBC so I just want to make sure before anything. cheers!
