2013 X218 CLS63 SB
Hi, I have a 2013 CLS63 SB. When pulling away in 'C' mode the car is very jerky between 5 and 15 mph in slow traffic. I wondered if this was due to it being a large engine in 2nd gear at low speed. However I had an E63 previously and I don't remember that doing acting in this way. Can anyone tell me if this is perfectly normal for the 5.5 engine or should they be very smooth no matter how low the speed. As I have only had the car a month I have a window of opportunity to get stuff righted that might not be considered warranty (i.e. clutch).

Thanks for your help

Gerry
 
my 2015 e63 is quite smooth in C at those speeds afte 17k miles. Gearshift can occasionally be jerky when I let go of accelerator as it is changing up but it is very rare.

I have no idea what these boxes feel like as mileage piles up.
 
Yes my CLS63 used to be jerky too the way you described. I almost thought it was me tapping the accelerator a bit more than normal causing the car to jerk a little. When MSL remapped it to monster mode it cured it.
 
Cheers guys, put my mind at rest a bit!
