Always check your front door window mechanisms before they fail - the cables rust easily (depending on the climate, of course). I've changed them both, on both my CLSs, as they all eventually failed.
Current car: 2005 CLS 55. Previous car: 2005 CLS 350 (gasoline)

Congrats on getting 500 Subs. Today cause I'm the 500th subscriber plus I'm looking to get my first AMG and this been on my list

Nice video, prepare for the fuel pumps regulator/sender assembly. They all crack and spray gas out side

06 cls55, same color as yours and super clean but more problems. power and performance is there but reliability is not, i've owned mine from may 2020 to now, did so much work to it and still getting problems (keep in mind that i baby the car and have all work done by a performance shop in orlando FL). currently has 94k miles and i'm considering to junk it.

My cars twin, it's beautiful. Word of advice, go long tubes right out of the gate. It's a bitch of a job, only do it once. I went with MBH and the sound/power is glorious.

This is same exact car as featured in 50 cent ft Tony Yayo “so seductive” music video (theirs is black) and I’ve always wanted this car. Fun Fact: I’m a hip hop artist and have a song with Tony Yayo myself

[sajavalahmad]

Hey bro. Sweet video. Could you list the link of all of the parts you've changed? Seemed very cheap.

Greetings from Norway.

Polyurethane engine mounts seems harsh

[nicholasharvey]

you've found a new subscriber... btw how much different is this model different to the CLS w219 350 cgi. in terms of suspension ?(if you know )

[mikeross]

Love your car, it's such a beautiful one. My buddy had the same everything but in Black. It was a great car up until 100k miles, the transmission went out on him.

New Subscriber!!! Appreciate the insight So after countless months of researching and this video helped a ton! I'll now go with CLS55 all the way. Contemplating if I got the 550 route I'll always be wishing I got the 55, especially when I get burnt by all the imports and muscle cars...

You didn't say "I hope it's not my car" YOU SAID "NO THAT'S NOT MY CAR"

[edgardoarroyo]

Planning to buy this car and same color, but with mods on

[modified]

Man where did you get you headlight wiring?

[StudioMargalima]

Again: the most beautiful sedan ever made
( or must we say sedanned coupé/coupéd sedan), probably even the most beautiful production car ever made. I upright would pick this over a modern CLS or S-Class. The lines of this car stay unparralled.

[dimitristsiampoulas]

Could you tell me the fuel consumption on really really normal driving without strong accelerations and if this engine doesn't get problems

[jcpaintingdesign]

Where did you found brembo front discs for 100 bucks a piece??

[ChokolateSushi]

How often do the rear main seals go out on these cars? Its something I see A LOT on M113K cars, and my S55 needs that done. Just wondering how long before I’ll need to address it again

[judahgibson]

I know the video is old but do you have a link or know where to get the coilovers and everytging you need for the conversion

[tenzinsmith]

Great vid. I plan on picking up one this summer.
