In a nutshell, it has Digital TV, Park assist (will park itself) Auto Bootlid Close, 600watt Harman Kardon Stereo, COMAND NTG4.5 iPod, USB connectivity, Harddrive
I managed to get a decent discount as I bought it 'as seen' and it needs a fair number of cosmetic fixes, the paint in the sunlight looks like an Ice Rink, the bonnet release is hanging down, a tiny 4mm dent in rearside and overall needs a decent clean.
My plans are to give it facelift bumpers (possibly headlights), tints, lowering, different wheels...
The ILS LED headlights are amazing, leave it on full beam and it slowly adjusts if a car is approaching in the distance, or quickly if close. Discovered today that I have Park Assist which auto parks the car... and its from 2011..!
The photos may look clean, but its not. I will clean it fully over the weekend and also give it a huge detail.
PS, the numberplate is forsale, drop me a PM if interested
Broken Bonnet Release (Ive since fixed it):
Missing Star Anyone know where I can source one?:
27Mpg - after 3 hours in Stop Start traffic...!
Freebies Found in boot:
Digital TV:
Ive started messing around already:
Pair of Tom Ford Ladies Sunglasses found under spare wheel (worth a few bob ive been told)
Initial thoughts, the car is wide, its only 9cm Wider than my '55 however it feels alot wider. The car delivers its power effortly. In compassion, the CLS55 had to be kicked into live if that makes sense, you would have to slam your foot down then BOOM. this just keeps giving and never stops, I can feel the extra 42Bhp over the '55 I over took a car on the Motorway today looked down and I was doing 95Mph. it felt like 75.
The noise, its not as loud as my CLS55 AMG with an X-Pipe, however its far deeper, more thunderous. its hard to explain but its its a rumble and its truely amazing. not sure I ever need to get an X-Pipe, who knows?
The interior quality is the biggest difference, the CLS W219 is in the tail end of MBs cost cutting years, the odd switches and one or 2 trim pieces let the team down, the W218 is full of glorious, metal vents, soft touch plastics, and oh so gorgeous leather. its alot more modern in every way.
Ill admit, I never really thought too much of the W218, thought it was a somewhat backwards step, in person, after a couple of days, its far more butch, more masculine than the smooth curves of the original CLS.
After 20mins of driving a van passed me, the passenger was making odd faces at me, when I looked at him in the eye I released that he was making a 'floor it' motion with his hand
I will do a photo shoot and create many videos on it on my Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/user/karlkillerhertz Please subscribe to the channel if you havent already
