Just figured out hte damn bluetooth device pairing finally. Had to buy a moto razr just so it would work.
Anyhow, congrats on the car, it was my 2nd choice. I was looking at that CLS55 also.  |
Unfortunately yes. max 4500rpm for the first 1000 miles.Or 85 mph..
I only semi-tried a launch once with my M3..and I weenied out during it.It seemed terribly abusive on the car.That was really my main gripe with smg.Under full throttle it slammed so hard I was amazed that the whole drivetrain didn't end up laying on the road.I used sportmode all the time on it,with a light gaspedal foot during shifting.Once you have that figured out,it shifts smooth and fast without all the drama.
I looked at the M5 real hard but at the end of the day I was ready for a change.I've been driving BMW's since 1995.This E55 is my second MB..if you want to count the ML350 as a Benz.
After one day with it,I like it.Gobs of power,sounds amazing..and extremely comfortable.There are a few to many gizmos for my taste and odds are I'll never use half of them.It was the same with the BMW's.I rarely messed with all the gadgets in them.
