[@josephweathersby146]

[@khankhaaaan]

Absolutely!

[@boristhedog29]

Just bought a cls 55 amg 3 weeks ago and just started my own set of tlc and tune up. Good to see someone else working on bringing these beauties back to their prime 👍

[@joegomes1352]

How much u pay

[@carsandbikez]

Glad I found this channel. Bought my CLS55 with a bad engine. And worn transmission. Full rebuild and a transmission swap later. She's fully healthy. I can't wait to see what you do to yours. The CLS is timeless.

[@enginesandidiots4204]

The CLS is indeed timeless, it's a blend of analog and modernity that you won't really find in any other Mercedes. Good luck with your rebuild, and we hope you enjoy what we have coming!

[@GustavoGarcia-bd5xq]

[@RavenValkyrie]

High quality video! The page will grow and you'll find success

[@realsocrates5272]

Best car ever made

[@AYoDrew32]

Film production is on point! Plus I love 55K content. I have BC coilovers on my E55 as well.

[@enginesandidiots4204]

Thanks man we really do appreciate it, we got a lot more content coming soon, lets just say, we are going to compare it to a more modern car in the next few weeks 😊

[@fanzhibo]

How is BC in comparison with stock air system by comfort?

[@AYoDrew32]

@@fanzhibo rides great compared to air. You can adjust stiffness easily

[@omarmontana1969]

Nice mate

[@enginesandidiots4204]

Thank you!

[@OTR_RUNNER]

Dope vid brothers ?would the bc coilovers work on the other models as well 06-11 CLS500 CLS550 planing on buying one soon more so the CLS 550 2009 and up

[@mercedes.c63_audi.q8]

As a fellow CLS owner, I just had to subscribe!

[@enginesandidiots4204]

Thank you! Means a lot!

[@modified5047]

Man great video. Where did you get your wiring for inside of the headlight?

[@haas4262]

Jeez props for being a guy to not only buy this car, but have the resources to sort it back to perfection. I’ve only seen one cls55, and I’m in SoCal where I see crazy cars all the time. Super special.

[@enginesandidiots4204]

He's working hard at it, it's truly something special indeed!

[@dezrobeats]

one in my city just sold for around $6k, 160k miles. wish i had the money so i could’ve bought it. it was in mint condition.

[@enginesandidiots4204]

That's a sweet deal! These cars are no joke even with high mileage.

[@fanzhibo]

Stealing price :)

[@benjamindrabik4030]

Well produced, very informative video, keep up the great work, man! Can you tell me what was the front wheel specs when you damaged the fenders due to the faulty air spring? Wheel/tire size, ET, etc. Wheels should tuck under the fender when they slam because of the air springs going out. Did you have an aggressive offset wheel setup?

[@Ahsanz1995]

No, the issue was the wheels were just turned right and the fender landed on the tire itself. It was stock wheels/fitment

[@khankhaaaan]

So I'm planning on getting a cls. 350 2007 with 150k plus miles, this being my first mercedes would you be able to guide me as to what to look out for? The car is well kept and drives good but I don't want to endup having to change the rotors and shocks first thing I get it. Any guidance would help a ton. Love live your content!

[@Kite.37]

what is the name of the little circle thing on the trunk it looks like a antenna and if what kind of antenna

[@kjfields1790]

Is this process the same on the cls 550 w219 version ?

[@mofa9379]

Mate i have done the same to my cls 55 amg. Cant Code out the airmatic error. How did you do it ?

[@nn9693]

Good1

[@tonyanthony9]

Hey bro u in Houston? If so I was looking at 1 it has 279k on motor but guy says super charger has been replaced an has replacement trans an lots of service think 🤔 I can buy it for $5k what u think?

[@joegomes1352]

Dam low miles and the shocks failed wow

[@billyyoungo.g.945]

I’m considering buying one with 240km on it

[@mrrjm1764]

What are your tire sizes ? 285/30

[@enginesandidiots4204]

Right now, it's 245 in the front and 275 in the rear. Sometime in the future, he'd like to fit 255 and 315

[@uzzle21]

can i buy those wheels if u dont need them
