W215 progression to W216

[Jumbojim]

Gentlemen

I have loved my 2002 CL500/ W215 inspite of its ABC failings etc., but it would really confirm my decision to move up to a W216 2007 CL500 if you guys would tell me that Mercedes have improved things?

I love the W216..

Cant comment on reliability as havent really had many dealings as yet.. The only issues I know of are with twin turbo models.. but that was the same with twin turbo 215's.

Havent heard much from my main dealer tech friends,... seem to be good cars...

Not as many around as the 215 though..

W216 from a w215 was the best move ever, had mine from 6 months old, just over 5 years ago.....will always keep my extended warranty going though as it has been worth every penny...approx cost of warranty is £1500 per year.
Beautiful car to own and drive!
