CLS 63 SB; it's in my profile.
I only rev it when I'm driving it; I bought it for how it goes, not how it sounds.

Oh did you now. Well plenty go as good and better. I'm surprised you went for one if that's the case. I go for sound and go. Two for price of one. You should rev it now and then it's rather good

I go for looks and go, I suppose, not sound and go. I really like the CLS SB. I love the interior I had swapped into it.
It goes very well; the stock 550 bhp, and 530 ft lb or more torque between 1750 and 5500 rpm, is enough for most, including me; more than almost any M156...
How it sounds is not a particular selling point; distant thunder rumbles most of the time, suddenly much closer when you use your right foot a little. If it sounded like a wet fart, I'd have had the exhaust sorted; but it doesn't, so I don't feel the need.
My point is that some M156 owners seem to think the M156's USPs are the sound, and a twelve year old survey. Bit sad, that, don't you think...

What ever floats your boat 156 hater
Just keep to your boring interior mods. It kind of suits your DNA.....
