Sorry I guess I lost that file, anyway the dealer can run the VIN and give you the compleete service History, I forget the number but the wordage is Secondary Air Injection Pump. If you see that it means the car was flashed.
There are many tuners ie. Renntech, Kleenman, VRP, LET, EvoTech tat can get you fixed up, the biggest gain on the tune comes with a pulley. Ok now you'll be search, read, drive for the next month..

Hey guys ... also, just out of curiosity what's your opinion on extending the CPO?
The car is factory warrantied until January 2010. Then Certified up to 100,000 mile until 2011 in the deal.
They offered me addition 1 or 2 years.
1year to 2012 for $2100+
2years to 2013 for 2850.
I was told these prices come from Mercedes and are non negotiable (Everything is negotiable IMO)
Do these rates sound reasonable and would you do it.
Supposedly, because I'm a repeat Mercedes customer I get a $700 discount.
Thanks
Pete

Don't worry about the tuning. the '06 and newer already have it and all the tuners now (thanks to those that insisted) have broken the TQ management codes.
It is a P30 car so don't worry. That is a BEAUTY!!
The stereos in all of the suck. My recommendation is to replace all the OEM speakers and add a sub to the trunk. If you want it done right (like me), get the Reus Audio but becareful because they have many different setups. I got the daddy for $2500 but I am local. It even has 2 center channel speakers that they put into the rear view mirror. Their work is very clean and you likely won't see it but just hear it.
CONGRATS BRO!! You've done well.

Jangy is right that car 06 has the torque limiters from the factory that was about the time we were figuring out what was up.
You may have some blown speakers, even in the stock form the HK logic 7 is
at least acceptable. When I asked what source I meant Sat rad, FM or CD sounds bad? cause Sirius bit rate sucks and sound quality is poor I use my I-Pod @ 128 min.
The warranty is a deal, get it ASAP and that is a good price.

You may have blown speakers. they are cheap paper ones and should not distort out even at max volume. They just don't get that loud. Someone may have turned the bass way up and rocked them. Either way, replace all with nice ones and be off. The car is AWESOME. I am so jealous!! One of my boys here has one and it is the nicest 4 door AMG I have seen. I am not a CLS person but would take the CLS55 in a heartbeat.

Not even a question if you plan to keep the car. Get the extended warranty!! You got the car for a great price so it is worth having the piece of mind with a factory warranty. This car can be real expensive to fix when out of warranty. Car is definitely an 030. The steering wheel has the suede leather and the wheels are two piece that only come with the performance package. Believe me when you drive the car hard, the performance package is a plus and not many cars have it. Your car is very rare! Enjoy it and with some easy mods your car will be an absolute monster.
Thanks!
It's definitely a car I'll keep for a long time.
What do you think of their pricing and claim that MB sets the rates?

So ... with the torque limiters ... what can I expect with this car and what would be the easiest fix? Something that worries me, is if I ever bring it in for service, would a reflash not MB void warranty, and what happens if they reflash it again?

I was set to get an E, but seeing this CLS in person was the kicker. It was there in a sea of E's (Not AMG's) and it really just stands out.
Around here I may never pass another one ... and I have to admit, I like that.

If they screw it up ... they keep the car and I keep looking.
