    Time to swap my CLS 350 Shooting Brake for a CLS 63 Shooting Brake. Advice?

    Don’t knock it until you’ve tried one, and I’d highly recommend you do, it’s probably the most capable GT car today. They are awesome, refined and reliable. The speed, handling, ride and comfort are bonuses!

    Time to swap my CLS 350 Shooting Brake for a CLS 63 Shooting Brake. Advice?

    They’re perfectly safe as family transport. The TC is excellent. Just don’t expect to deploy all 590lbs/ft in the wet through the rears without some intervention from the electronics. Or if you’re in the mood, put the tc in sport mode and spin the rears along the way. If you’re feeling really...

    Time to swap my CLS 350 Shooting Brake for a CLS 63 Shooting Brake. Advice?

    That red one was a nice and rare looking car. The intelligent headlights are very cool. When they illuminate they do this phased thing that reminds me of the Millennium Falcon making the jump to lightspeed! If a car comes the other way, they will dip where the car is but leave the n/s on full...

    Time to swap my CLS 350 Shooting Brake for a CLS 63 Shooting Brake. Advice?

    Time to swap my CLS 350 Shooting Brake for a CLS 63 Shooting Brake. Advice?

    Ps, I think in the UK pre facelift only came with the 557 engine (which was perf pack in other markets) iirc. I think it says that here from memory, if you haven’t already seen this video enjoy, bear in mind this is the 557 version! The S also has a faster gearbox.

    Time to swap my CLS 350 Shooting Brake for a CLS 63 Shooting Brake. Advice?

    Mine is the black one at Targa. As has been said, all are rwd but uniquely, the UK is the only market to get the full power 585bhp engine as fitted to the 4matic in rwd form, due to front prop interfering with pedal box. Ironically mine came from the factory with a 4matic badges on the wing, in...

    Is 'V8 AMG snobbery' a "thing"?

    Yes I did. 4 year old ones with lesser spec (non S, no lsd plus lots of other things missing and slower gearbox, less power etc) average mileage circa 40k miles and much worse condition were advertised at similar to what mine is now worth at about 3.5 years. Of course you have to expect a car to...

    Is 'V8 AMG snobbery' a "thing"?

    I'm not a snob, but I do consider myself a complete knob after making arguably the worst judgement decision of my life yet; buying a new AMG. The amount of depreciation is absurd, I won't be making that mistake ever again! Compared to similar cars it appears to have fared far worse, I'm really...

    Approved used E63 with expired road tax?

    The CLS63 that I drove at Brooklands, (the driving day that came with my CLS) had a gearbox that had seen better days, it had a noticeable delay and clunk between changes. I think the mileage was getting up there, 18k from memory, they said then that when they sell them they put a long warranty...

    [SOLD] CLS63 S AMG Shooting Brake

    Good morning all, Selling my 63S Shooting Brake due to lack of use...I know I know, I could just use it more but it doesn't go out in bad weather and I use motorbikes when the weather is nice! I bought the car when I had a ruptured disc in my back which was pressing on the nerves. Those who...

    Approved used E63 with expired road tax?

    My dealer never informed me of the diff service, luckily I actually read the manual and contacted them instead. Poor show! You should insist it’s done if you do go for it.

    How to finish off the glass after waxing paintwork?

    I use Autoglym fast glass, minimal effort and good results imho. They also do a class polish cream which takes more effort.

    So you have basically the same M157 engine as mine? What is the E63 stock bhp? Did your remap remove the speed limiter? Do you know what exhaust work you had done?
