walked into the dealer and she had me at hello on the color alone, the performance + made it a perfect storm for me. I had a 07 CLS63 then picked up a 12 CLS550 in june and knew as soon as i drove a I should have waited.

i couldnt possibly imagine going from an amg to a cls550. so what did you do? that new amg is drop dead gorgeous!

Jrod75

Well the 07 63 went back about a year and a half ago. I was impatient and picked up a 12 550 in june, it was wasn't that far of the 07 63. I knew i was going to get a 63 it was just a matter of time...when I saw this last Saturday I had to have it. I lost a little bit by not waiting but so far not regretting one second.

nice i was just at penske the other day, drove a E63 with PP, and their e55 for kicks,

i like the E63 they had, it was silver, but still looking for steel grey

what is the color of your cls

Jrod75

Yea I looked at the same E before I pulled the trigger on the CLS. The color I guess is special it's a matte bronze didn't know it was a PCE car or whatever they are calling it

Sweet!! Enjoy! Please compare to CLS 550 once you get some miles on it.

vdubpower

whats PCE?

Jrod75

i put about 3900 miles on my12 CLS550 was a great car averaging 24mph my daily is a ford raptor with the 6.2 that was one of the reason i talked myself into the 550. its a great car nicer in my opinion than my 07CLS63 but this new murders both.

Performance Center Edition from what i can read here one the web may have also been known as a launch edition car but mine has a build date of 10/11

805Benz

I was looking at the Ford Raptor awhile back and remember seeing gas millage 11-13 MPG. CLS550 @ 24 MPG must of been nice. On my 63 I think I'm averaging 18 MPG, but that wont last long, still in break-in mode. Congrats!

Jrod75

I've had the rappy just over year now and I love it. Averaging 11.4 mpg to date! But again it's fun for what it is.

Any thoughts yet on car soap? I am sure you have been or will be.

I have been searching for the last few days, and there are not too many options.

Swissvax - seems too overpriced for something so simple
Dr. Beasley Matte soap - better price, no reviews

I just ordered the Dr. Beasley to test out and will see.

She is beautiful! Enjoy to the max!!!

Performance Center Edition cars are different that Launch Edition Cars. Only AMG Performance Centers (not every MB dealer) can get PCE's, while most dealers can get LE's. There were less than 100 CLS PCE's made, all with the Bronze Matte paint. There are a lot more LE's around, painted in a Grey Matte. The PCE's also have a few more options. I don't remember if the LE's have the higher horsepower of the Performance Package, but the PCE's all have it.

vdubpower

this is only for the cls's right not for the e63s

Ali_E55

so mine is a PCE ??

it looks the same.

Mr. Smokes

If it's Sintered Bronze Matte ..
Though i didnt think there was a difference between Launch Edition and PCE

In either case, the major difference (besides the matte bronze color) is the Designo two tone interior w/alacantra headliner.

On the downside, the PCE cars came with one pkg, which did not include the Limited Slip Diff. Owell

Mr. Smokes

I'm using the Dr. Beasley suite of products. They seem to work well
