i had that chirping problem on my 2004 E55...with only 5600 miles on it. took it to the dealer to get fixed and was told that they could do nothing about it. to make the long story short - i got rid of the car and picked up the SLK55

Glad to hear it! I'd love to go the CLS 55 route but the deals on the E55's are just to good to pass up.
