HI everyone, I just bought a 2012 CLS550 Launch Edition. I have to say its my first step in to the Mercedes brand. I have had Audi and BMW and so far I prefer the Mercedes.

I hope to be a added resource to the community as I am not a "take it to the Dealer" type.

Thanks everyone. I think I need to tint the windows to complete the look. I am thinking about doing some exhaust mods too, just to make it sound different.
