Newly acquired W215 CL500
Discussion
Having recently sold my Jaguar S Type R I was looking for a high days and holidays car to sit alongside my new M135i daily driver - the BMW satisfies my lust for outright speed and as I have always admired the W215 shape the search was on.
I was looking for something other than the obligatory silver / grey leather combo and the car I bought popped up on Ebay.
Being sold by a Mercedes specialist with a 6 months warranty gave me some peace of mind, spec was good, about the only thing missing was the ventilated / massage seats. Full Mercedes / specialist history, about the only significant expense I need to incur is a new set of matched tyres but factored that in to the equation.
Not really had much chance to do any work on the car since collection with being on holiday and then straight back to Germany for work.
As I'm attending my first Mercedes Club event next weekend I took the chance to spend the day on it today- full interior clean with leather conditioned, engine bay clean and a full paint correction.
No sealant or wax on it - yet to decide on what to finish it with.
Only when machine polishing do you actually realise how big the thing is but very happy with how the flake form the Obsidian Black has started to pop
First impressions are very positive, feels like its built to withstand a nuclear attack - everything feels so solid, performance is adequate, clearly a lot slower than the Jaguar but its not what I bought the car for - hopings its going to be a long love affair
