2012 CLS550 4Matic
New CLS550 Owner from NJ

Hi Everyone,


Wanted to drop a quick note and intro. Picked up my 2012 CLS550 4Matic 8 days ago. CPO with 26K miles. I love this car. Perfect blend of luxury, performance and size.


Cars are a passion of mine as are most things with tires and motors.


I'm active on many forums but this is the first MB forum I have joined and I hope to learn a lot, share the passion with others and contribute where I can.


As I'm no stranger to modded cars (see signature), I plan on looking into a tune (Renntech or others) and just some simple bolt-ons to wake this beast up.


Wish you all the best.

Thanks. Having a difficult time with the pix, either via upload from computer or via URL from Photobucket. Been sharing pix on forums for years so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can't even insert a smilie.

Welcome to MBWorld. I've actually been toying with picking up a 2012ish CLS as well once my current lease is up.

Welcome to the forum, what a lineup you've had! Post up some pictures when you can. Good luck with the new purchase!

Still have. Lol.

GL450 is my wife's. G8 was my daily driver/toy for 6 1/2 years. Poured a lot of time and effort into it. Not sure what to do with it now that I bought the CLS as the daily. I may sell it or give it to my son. The Grand National is my nice weather, weekend toy to tinker with.

Welcome to MBWorld! In the quick reply box there is an icon that is square and yellow. It has a picture of a mountain and moon. Click that and you can drag and drop an image into there or you can upload directly from your computer.
