Finally picked it up - graphite 2012 CLS 63

Ordered in Sept - picked it up last week. Graphite designo, black/carbon fiber interior & all options except ceramic brakes and PP -- wanted to keep more comfy ride, though may tune ECU later. Will add tints next week.

cool.!!!

do the non p.p. versions sit lower ? yours almost looks Like it's higher.

I think they should have been even lower from the factory, then we wouldn't have to go to the trouble of lowering them ourselves.

Congrats, great color! It does appear to be sitting higher than any stock suspension I've seen, strange.

+1 on the color it looks great, all it needs 35% tint like you mentioned and the KW drop and it's literally perfect, congrats

Thanks all. I will have the ride height checked on next service, but I believe that's an optics issue with the photos. As a matter of fact, I heard a minor scrape underneath this morning pulling out of a driveway, which I've never heard with any other car before, obviosuly due to lower ground clearance.
