2020 CLS 430 4matic,
Back to Mercedes

Hello All,
I left Mercedes about 12 years ago to switch to BMW. I’ve had many 5 series (535, M5’s) and 2018 750. My Prior MB was 2004 ML350 and 2004 E350 4matic.

The quality of BMW has been going downhill. My most recent 2018 750 loaded was over $120k; although it’s far from worth that price tag. I should have used the lemon las due to many repeat issues. the fit and finish is below average; certainty not what was I expecting for the flagship BMW.

My wife and I ordered a 2020 CLS 450 4matic with AMG and many other options. I plan on sending it to Renntech for some Mods once available.

I am ordering a 2020 A220 or CLS tomorrow 12/22 for our daughters 16th birthday. She’s a lucky girl but I want her safe and is a solid student, and a great young woman.

i am happy to be back and look forward to having a great dialogue with many of you.

Looking at the interior when it arrived from port.

Arrived from port

Rear seat is nice for 2020.

Cockpit is stellar

The wood, fit and finish is on point.


Delivery of 2020 CLS to my office.

Window tint done. 20% Lumar stratus 2 ply ceramic.

Taking it for its first drive after delivery. Of course it rained!

Settling into its new home.

Amg Wheels

I call my CLS Bruce. It reminds me of the shark from finding Nemo.

Welcome home!

Thank you. Photos never do it true justice. The wood and interior is unlike what I’ve had before. My 750 is white exterior with a brown truffle interior; this is much lighter feels like a “happy place.”

Thank you. Drives really nice. Not taking away from the A220 bit the new CLA is on another level. It should make for a nice reaction for our daughter 16th birthday on 12/31. It will look nice next to my CLS 😎.
