Looks good, whats the mileage and history?
Thanks,
It's done 118k with full service history, it was serviced 3k ago and it has a full MOT. It has 2 owners, the last being a doctor who had it since 2006! He px'd it towards an extremely low mileage SL55 at my friends garage.
It needs a really good polish up and an intercooler pump, I think I'll order a Johnson cm30 today.

Once you get the pump done, which is a good idea....maybe have a think about some easy exhaust mods (secondary decat / res box removal) and upgrade SC pulley and remap, can easily get these engines upto around 550hp

I would also check in the history if the car has had ATF change?

Im already on it!!! The exhaust will be the first thing I do, it made an amazing difference to my CL55... pulley and remap will happen in the near future, I'll probably get them done at MSL!
Yes it was done at 95k, I've done a fair few myself now, it's an easy enough DIY!
Excellent stealth barge!

Totally agree...de-badge get the 320CDI badges on it...quads may give it away at little but still stealth motoring:bannana:

Beautiful! Great colour too.
How does it drive compared to the CL? I'm guessing it's fairly similar but you never know

Yea it's really similar, it does feel bigger though!

Secondary cat and resonator delete... I did think about keeping the secondary's and removing the primary ones as they look huge and must be very restrictive?

You may have to keep turning off the EML if you take out the primary cats. That can be mapped out though.
Quick to put on those lovely split rims from the CL I see

Yea the rims had to go on! I'll be putting the CL up for sale in a week or so.
Do you know how much the 18" AMG wheels that were on it are worth? They seem to have very new Michelin tyres all round!
It will be getting a pulley and a map soon enough so that wouldn't bother me, does it actually give any power gain though?
