Driving the glorious CL55 AMG, my former car I had for 2 years! C215 is my all time favorite chassis of Mercedes, stylish pillar less $120k MSRP S class coupe with the legendary V8 Kompressor engine. Enjoy that AMG M113K V8 rumble! - Авто та транспорт

How do you put the cl55 AMG into sports mode? What I seen by the video you put it on sport mode but for manual paddle shifters right? What I'm asking is how do you put on sports mode to use it as the automatic function
I love that era where cars looks like cars and not smartphones with wheels
They certainly don’t make them like they used to!
Me and you both, mate
I am still a fan of the C215. It is definitely a unique car.
Best and most favorite car I have ever owned to this day! Feels very special and unique, much more so than the W220.
Appreciate the advice on keeping the supercharger cool. Good first investment as far as mods go
in case people don't know: 500hp is fun! i've had 3 street rides with over 400hp and the fun starts there, being a MB with this much power has to be deeply satisfying, thank you.
My dream car! Engine, Sound, Design is just perfect. The inside is like an livingroom.
100% agree
A luxury muscle car
100% German Muscle
They are really fast I had a 03 cobra that was really fast and the cl55 took off on me. Great car!
I’ve pulled bus lengths on nearly everything that tried to race me, 5.0’s, tuned STI’s, etc. It’s one hell of a machine!
Man, this makes me miss my C32 AMG at home even more. I'm coming back this weekend to throw on a bunch of needed parts though so I can drive it reliably. I just bought it a couple weeks ago and some stuff is wrong with it.
Excellent car! I installed Ceika coilovers long time ago on my 220 55K. Wasn't fun .
Thanks man, ABC is definitely a headache compared to Airmatic! Review video coming out on it shortly!
Love my 2006 CL55-
the last of the sleek s class coupes
My g37 is definitely a good car but I think for my next car I’m gonna upgrade to the cl55 for the extra power
This has been my dream car for a long time. I’m now 36 and probably having some sort of crisis lol I’ve excepted that the maintenance and repairs will cost more than what I pay for one. I have decent mechanical skills an experience. Would you say it’s worth it?
Where can I get that coolant upgrade you got on this one?
Man benz mad a machine on this one. I know LegitStreetCars would be unsettled by this, he would be fixing this.
They definitely did! I helped fix all the issues, no more lights or leaks on it.
Wow I want one of these
Get one, you will not regret it!
@@damiankikolski there’s two in my area rn. I been wanting a 55amg I’m not worrying on models but I love these cl and the cls55 for a long time but I always come across personal issues when I’m about to buy one. But one is at 200k miles for 10k beige on beige color and the other ones is at 90k miles for 13k black on black so idk what one to get ofc the 90k mile one but I feel like maintenance hasn’t been done on it Ik these are a steal of a deal on price what one would you get if you were me 😂 also any problems that people don’t think of I went and saw a w220 s55 and it was clapped tf out oil spray in engine bay and Airmatic was slammed couldn’t even move the car. And a e55 I went and saw had a messed up exhaust problem it just didn’t feel right/ sound right at all like a crack near the cat or sun like that
Ay bro your cl55 sounds amazing what is your exhaust setup?
Appreciate it bro! It's got a resonator/secondary cat delete, and a 2.5" X-Pipe in place of secondary cats. Original mufflers, primary cats still on. And I took the hood insulation out for better cooling and so you can hear the blower whine. Make's a drastic difference in how much you hear the blower whine when you remove the hood foam.
@@damiankikolski thanks bro amazing car
@@cinematicshots6851 Thanks!!
What mods have been done to the car? I have a 2004 but for some reason it doesn't pull like yours.and I agree, there's no other car out there like it. It has the looks, power, comfort, very unique.
Most likely if yours feels sluggish it needs a new intake air temp sensor, it’s like $15 at the dealer. It goes on the intake behind the throttle body firewall area. Super easy to change, made my car feel like it gained 200 horsepower.
I once read that those sensors are meant to be replaced every few years. It’s what the computer uses to adjust boost based off the temp reading of that particular sensor.
Also change your supercharger cooling pump to the 010 updated part number.
This car is pretty much stock besides a resonator and second cat delete, bigger heat exchanger, split cooling, one step colder spark plugs, and it had a full tune up done so it’s running optimal.
@@damiankikolski thank you so much for that. I'll pick one up then.
@@300zVinh Give it a try, let me know if it helped!
@@damiankikolski just changed out the IAT and still the same. I also ordered some stock air filters. Currently have k&n but I’m hearing mix reviews so I’m going back to stock. In your video, when you’re accelerating. Are you flooring it or just enough for the supercharger to kick in? The problem I’m having with my car is that the acceleration is not smooth. I have already changed: fuel filter, fuel pump, all 8 coil packs, ignition wires, 550 injectors, meziere wp, 76 sc pulley, and a bunch of other stuff. If I take it easy, it’s smooth. It’s only when I get on it. Thanks again
Salut from France ! Which set up do you have on your suspension ? In term of bits spring rate and anti roll system ?
Cheers mate !
I installed Ceika fully adjustable 32 way dampening coilovers, if I were to do it again I’d leave the ABC on the car. There’s a reason they came with such a advanced system from the factory, I would recommend leaving the original suspension that came from Mercedes, just rebuilding the whole system with fresh hoses, filters, o rings.
@@damiankikolski Hi ! Thanks for your reply. Sorry I’ve got self correction from my IPhone… I was asking for the spring rate you choose front and rear.
Do you find it too « hard » for missing the défective ABC ?
Cheers mate !
I love cars with torque from the bottom. This thing pulls like my Tesla Model 3. But the sound and the interior is waaay nicer of course. Unfortunately the insurance on these cars is crazy high over here in Germany plus the insane fuel cost in Europe make me stick to torquey electric cars instead.
Fuck it, I just got a E500 W211
$120k back then is like $195k now
Is this for sale?
Yes it will be
I heard leak…. I lost appetite lol 😅😂.
Steering wheel is hella loose!
