New to me 2008 CL65 AMG

This forum has already helped me fix a rear sun shade so wanted to say thanks for that.
I have always wanted a V12 and have come close to buying a couple.
I finally found the one for me recently and it is awesome.
Cheers,
-BB

@BBM3 Congrats on your car. The CL65 is a torque monster in a well dressed suit

Well said.
Did my first big burn-out today. It created an enormous smoke cloud through 3 gears.
on the other hand it can be such a well behaved isolation chamber on the highway.
What a hoot!

Hi @BBM3 and welcome to MBWorld. Your CL looks awesome. Hard to believe that it’s 13 years young! All the best with it 👍

Thanks for the welcome. I have already found how to fix my rear sunshade and a great source for rebuilt coil packs. Both saved me a fist full of Benji's

Thanks,
Your CL63 looks great and I love the wheels.
I vacillated on bronze wheels for my M2 Competition unfortunately the ones I wanted are now out of production so I bought the CL to make me feel better.

The selling dealer are master of detailing and reconditioning.
When I replaced the RH coil pack and 24 plugs I honestly didn't need gloves the engine bay is that clean.

Thank you, I'm guessing you meant CLS
Also, excellent use of the word vacillated! Don't get to use that one very often
That CL is quite a machine and will last for years to come!
