Bye Bye CLS

It was a great 3 years, really miss the beast! Good thing I have tbal for when i need my 55k fix Some last pics.








The replacement, the power was fun, but missed the luxo barge feel I had with the S600

That CLS was dope! I can't believe you bought a non drivers car over your CLS!

Now change your "Drives:" section to read "A house."

The Bentley is cool I guess. Status-wise, it is an upgrade over the CLS. I don't know if I would prefer it over the AMG though. I never understood the appeal of the Bentley brand. To me it's like a Jaguar against an Aston Martin. If you want a car like that, I'd buy a Rolls Royce. But cool car nonetheless.

What I have a question about though and what caught my attention is this:

Like so:

What gives? Can you put the caliper on either side? I'm curious..

My 07 E63 has the rear rotors facing inwards.

Makes no difference. As long as the bleed screw is facing up the caliper can be anywhere.

Interesting....never knew that . Has it ever been tested as to which position has greater stopping power? Is it the same for the front calipers as well? Cool info

Don't think it can be swapped on your car just because the SL has it that way. The suspension knuckles are probably different.
