    Which engine would you go for!?

    Looking at a CLS 500, aside from the obvious, M113 appears bulletproof, cheaper tax, slightly more MPG........M273 Known issues with idler gear, higher tax, less MPG. Which would you go for if the M273 of choice was one of the later 57 models with the improved idler gear, I'm in a quandry! I...

    CLS owners...just curious??

    Thanks for info IV. I'm 50+ so the insurance is not really the issue, i've been quoted £300 fully comp + protected NCD, like I say it's getting the engine right for me, not heard to much about the M273 whereas the M113 shines out as the best. problem is you seem to be limited to 2 production...

    CLS owners...just curious??

    Guys....many thanks for all the replies, it's much appreciated!. Soooo,...staying on subject, I've read a lot of good stuff about the M113 engines...adjectives such as "Bombproof" and "Indestructible" have been banded about, as a result I never really considered the newer M273 engine in the...

    CLS owners...just curious??

    I suppose i should add a bit to the post really!! or put it differently at least, apologies.....is there anything majorly wrong with the 500 which would put you off buying one...reason i ask is purely that there seems a hell of a lot more available, I understand the obvious differences in the...

    CLS owners...just curious??

    Howdy all....Always had my eye on the CLS, mainly down to the gorgeous(imho) lines and looks, could be getting a bit closer to owning one:rock: and i'm pretty much set on a 55 (M113) and was just curious, why are they quite a few grand more expensive than the 500, the 500 is only missing the...

    CLS which model would you go for??

    So...from the few of you that have replied I get the feeling that petrol is the way to go, some of you mention issues with the diesel versions which only compound my fears and past experiences with diesels, it seems that no manufacturers have yet overcome the common issues with diesels that...

    CLS which model would you go for??

    Nice to hear you enjoy yours Dan, the majority of complaints i find when researching is with the 320CDI, manifold issues, bottom end bearings, swirl valve, 7g valve bodies...TBH i don't think i would ever consider another diesel engine...Merc or not, iv'e had a number of diesels over the years...

    CLS which model would you go for??

    OK....so this is my dream motor...has been for a while if i'm being honest, but when it comes down to buying one (soon hopefully) I'm still undecided, i know what my heart wants (1st gen CLS 63 6.2 sedan) just for the hell of it, but head says 350 shooting brake( I have dogs and grandchild to...
