cls350 gone e55 amg onboard.

[350cls]

Have parted with cls350 which I truly loved. Fantastic car to buzz around in. Great looks and cocoon like cabin very smart and happy place to be.

The E55 what can I say, pure Brutal speed, Nascar like. A true animal. I think I have a keeper here.

 

[KillerHERTZ]

NASCAR like? Does it only go around in circles then?

 

[John]

Why did you buy an E55 and not a CLS55?

had my head going in circles what a car

 

[350cls]

Why did you buy an E55 and not a CLS55?

Being a tall guy found the rear leg room on the cls a bit restricted for my littlens. Also the 4 seats of the cls apposed to the 5 of the E saloon. Was after a estate at first but that fell through some idiotic dealer was a total ******** to say least. Got the saloon very very happy. Had a few v8's over the years but this is by far the most brutal when needed and refined when not. Astonishing car

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Rear space is the same as the W211 - headroom isn't though

 

[350cls]

Base of the drivers seat seems extended in the E meaning don't need the extra leg room I did in the cls. the front seat does not lower as much as in the E given me a higher driving position. The seats base especially gives me more support to my thighs meaning less the seat is reclined !!

 

[350cls]

Also the rear seats are less bucket like allowing booster seats a less restricted position.

Thanks French, I intend to.

Just curious why you want a cls55?

 

[350cls]

Couple questions regarding the E55.

1. Is petrol Grade noticeable with performance?

2. My car doesn't have a spare wheel neither a space saver?

Thanks

I use Shell V Max or Tesco Momentum. Its an AMG and I think they run better on a higher octane.

Mine has neither spare or spacesaver either. Put a couple of cans of tyreweld in the boot and use the electric tyre inflator.

 

[John]

I only run mine on Momentum or V-Power (where necessary).

Car always runs at its best as a result - no pinking and is currently running approx. 600BHP.

 

[350cls]

I will keep to the super grade as I have done with all the performance cars I have owned. I have a package in the boot of the tyreweld so that will do.

Cheers.

 

[350cls]

Call me old school but I don't like this scenario - I prefer a wheel of some sort.

As rare an event it might be - if your tyre does anything more than just gets a puncture, a can of that is as effective as a cat flap in an elephant house.

I used C most of the time when cruising around. I flip it to S when required. In C, I find I hear more of my exhaust because it pulls away in 2nd.

As for suspension - I use Sport II. I find this is the most satisfactory for handling and normal driving. Comfort isn't a lot different on ride but is noticeable on handling I find.

Nice one John. I will keep that in mind with the gearbox I have been in S mostly. Feels like the car wants to take off when just pottering around. C it will be then. Also I have been in C with suspension I may change that also. Cant get enough of the exhaust note so C it will definatley be lol. |The Power the car has is unbelievable it scary to be fair. You have upgraded yours to 600hp that must be mental. I have no plans for any mods yet but may do down the line.
