Have a cl500 with full factory amg specification on a 51 plate. Absolutely adore that car and I also have a few motors! Mines lowered and on 20’s but other than that it’s still as it came with a list of £129,300 in todays money which is a lot for a 500 and not a 55 !
My 2005 CL55 has a Weistec 630 kit with lots of cooling mods and 608 rwhp. It passes most everything besides a gas station. I get 7-9 mpg around town and can get 16-20 on the highway depending on speed. With under 90k my ABC is super nice and I could not imagine a better car for the money.
Love your enthausium for the CL. I've enjoyed a CL500 for 5 years now and agree entirely with your appraisal. I would add the super smooth steering, power delivery and ride that just cosset you so nicely. As you so rightly said it's how a car makes you feel and my CL500 hits a perfect spot for me.
Had a facelift CL500 for 12 years now, zero big problems or bills during my ownership but I do maintain it myself. Some have been owned by cheapskates and careless people due to the depreciation recently but buy a good one and they are fantastic.
So nice to see people apreciating C215's. I have one for 11 years now but with kompressor, and to this day - I see it and fall in love all over again. I know the day is coming when abc will fail but I cant decide which road I'll take - coils or rebuild abc.
I have one for over a year now and I’m still in love! It’s just soo good. It’s never let me down and I’ve done over 10,000 kms. A future classic. Buy a god one and watch it grow in value. Nothing like it. You said everything I love about it too. Terrific review.
I gad no issues with abc till 90000 km , after don’t know because sold . This car was something very special, it must be experienced. When I was driving CL I forgot about other cars on my mind ! If there is perfection ?! The name is S coupe !
If you say this car is cheap, just wait until you have to change the brakes. And god forbid if something happens to the ABC suspension. Would you mind showing us your insurance bill?
Non-supercharged CL55? Thats a mistake mate? 55’s only came with one motor…the 5.4L supercharged m113k. The dual tip (instead of quad tip) exhaust was a dead giveaway. Either someone swapped the exhaust before you bought it or you have a rebadged CL500.
That big body coupe is Arguably the best looking Mercedes Benz they've ever designed.
I drove my 2005 CL55 to over 225,000 miles before I sold it.
Perfect car, especially after replacing the ABC system with coil-overs.
I've owned my 2004 CL55 since 2010. Absolutely love driving the car. The supercharger brings the M113 to life.
Like the Bentley...It has the double paned windows to eliminate wind noise...

m113K was a superior engine. I do like the N/A version but the supercharged cars were far from being unreliable
💯 I love this and the 65

i just bought a 2004 CL500 i wanna supercharge and was luck enough to buy mine with ABC deleted and put on coils, and a gnarly exhaust system
@@babyjayASMR hi! Hows ride with coils?

What kind of drone were you flying there
