Back into a CLS 55 or E55

Hey guys,

Hope you all are enjoying the MDW! I used to own a 03 E55 and thinking about getting one again. I really missed the power, comfort etc...of the beast but have a few concerns.

Here are a few list of major issues I had.

1. Major transmission problems
2. Air suspension problems
3. As most of you know about fuel leaking issues

Other then these issues I really didn't have any problems with my E55. When I had warranty on it my local MB dealer service rep replaced a lot of things even when I brought it in and advised of little concerns. This time
i'm looking at a CLS or E55 05-07. Appreciate if you guys can give me some recommendations and what your thoughts are.

Thanks in advance

+1. And also the fuel leak issue has been settled under extended warranty coverage, just drop off the car at any MB authorized dealer and they will repair it if theres any fuel leak occured.
