Hi all,
Sold my beloved 2007 CLK280 due to a change of circumstance and regretted it ever since..
six months later I'm looking for another MB and was considering the first gen CLS, the petrol ones 350 and 500, ideally 2007-2009 models
Anything you can share about them? Known issues/ common faults?

I'm leaning towards the CLS500 more because of the beautiful V8 but also worried about the balance shaft on V6s

Also prepared for the electroplate replacement on the 7G tronic gearbox (been through that with the CLK)

What's the suspension like?

Cheers
 
Was aiming for a more 'basic' version if you can call it that way, isn't the CLS55 coming with a supercharger?
