2014 CLS 550
Hello from Vancouver, BC!

Hello Everyone!

I am brand new to the MB World, literally. For the past 3-4 months, I have been looking at BMW 7 series, the Audi A7/8, and the CLS550 and I finally went with the CLS550 because of the sexy lines, especially for a 4 door "coupe". I joined the group in hopes to lean on the knowledge of its members for all of the mods and upgrades I want to do (lowering, tuning, slight body mods, electronic upgrades, etc.) via an online outlet.

I am also hopeful to connect with any members from the Vancouver, BC area hoping they can help me with learning about the best local aftermarket MB performance, service, electronics, and parts suppliers in town!

Please send me a message, would love to connect!

Cheers,

Mike

Hi and welcome to MBWorld!

I think you have come to the right place as we have many Canadian owners. Take a look at the Canadian regional as good place to start for fellow local owners then the CLS 550 forum for specific platform questions. Have fun!

Thanks!

BTW, could you tell me if MBWorld has organized any member's discounts with some of the vendors that I have seen on this site? Also, is there a "recommended" or "stay away" list anywhere on the site?

The vendors will post discount opportunities and group sales as they become available. Although it is a good idea to have one location, thanks.

MBpippo, dbldpr, and chassis, Thanks for the nice welcome as I am totally new to the MBWorld! I bought the car last week and have a bunch of upgrades planned over the next 3-4 weeks. OBD lowering software, ceramic coating, window tinting, and rims being powder coated gloss black next week.

I'm still hoping to connect with local (Vancouver, BC) MBWorld members to find out the best local aftermarket service and product vendors, please pm me to connect!

Hey Nafan86,

Thanks for chiming in. I have been scouring the "local" MB scene and unfortunately there are no FB groups for 604 MB enthusiast.

Do you have a pic of the rims you are looking for?

Cheers,

Mike
