CLS 550
Just joined the E Coupe Club!

Currently drive a 2016 CLS 550, but wanted to add a two-door to the family. Had shopped the E 450, AMG E 53, Lexus RC F, and the BMW 840i. Lots of research and dealer visits, narrowed it down to the E 450 and E 53, and finally pulled the trigger on a black E 53 that just came in. I'm totally smitten.

It's equipped with
  • Parking Assistance
  • Piano Flowing Lines
  • Night Package
  • Black Nappa with red stitching
Plus a few other little things. Sticker price was $84,625, but negotiated and purchased for $5k off, plus got a great price on my trade. A little bummed to not have Performance Exhaust or illuminated star, but I can live without them.

I keep making excuses to go out just to look at her. I'm in love!!!

Congrats. Your photos reveal some standout visuals;
  • Black piano lacquer “flowing lines”. Elegant look, yet somehow works with the performance look of the interior.
  • Steering wheel. Perfect touch to complete the AMG interior.
  • Rear view. The quad exhaust!
Considering adding performance exhaust later?

Sadly not. Just don't think all the added cost and hassle to retro fit it is worth it. However, I do plan to paint calipers red. And also considering how adding the OEM chrome rear trim strip accessory to trunk would look.

Congrats, out of interest will you take that front plate off that states "certified pre owned"?
In Australia we have number plates on the front and back and i haven't seen anything like this
No hate, just out of interest :-)
