What's with the CLK63?

Saw one on US85 yesterday and I have a question: Are all CLK63's Black series? Or are there 2 models: CLK63 and CLK63 Black series?

Reason I'm asking is because as he flew by me, I could not see any specific badging that said Black series. Damn, those wheels wells are friggin huge.

BTW, I was in my Pilot coming back from the nursery. Otherwise I would have tried to stay with him for a closer look.

Standard CLK63's are verts here in the US. Europe gets the hardtop. If you saw a hardtop CLK63 that wasn't a BS, then it was a

It was a hard top.

I don't know if it was a Black series or not, hence the question. I did not see specific Black badging, just a 6.3 on the front quarter panel at the appropriate spot, and the huge flares.

The blackseries badging is pretty small... If it had giant fenders, then it was a black series most likely.

The Black Series badge is nearly impossible to read unless you are about a foot away from it or really know what you are looking for, you will never notice it from another moving vehicle at highway speed or above.

Let us just hope that the enormous flared wheelarches, 19" polished multi-spoke rims, carbon fibre rear spolier and diffuser and distinctive 6.3 badging on the front fender is enough to convince a passing motorist that this vehicle is special.

So...

What I saw was a black series. I was almost certain of it myself at first glance.
There are only 2 models in the US: All vert's are regular CLK63's, and all hardtop CLK63's are Black series, according to CHead.

you saw a BS - the widebody is the dead giveaway.

Hey, you live here too?
I dunno about the look of it... kinda partial to the CLS55 myself.
