Mercedes-benz: Cls-class on 2040-cars
Dalbo, Minnesota, United States
You are looking at super clean 2006 Mercedes CLS55 I purchased this car in June of last year after a few months of searching for a perfect AMG i found this one at a dealer in Virginia. It has a bit higher miles but this was a 1 owner fully Dealer Serviced car ( I have receipts from the first day until the day I picked it up). However after I bought it I made sure that all the maintenance and modifications needed was performed (as this car was 100% bone stock when I purchased it). Everything listed below was done within the last 8-9 months. The car is headache free and extremely comfortable and fast to drive with these mods.Mercedes CLS55 Mileage: 131500 Exterior Condition: 9.5/10 -- body is in superb condition with the exception of a few small dings that are easily fixable Interior Condition: 9.5/10 -- the interior is near perfect with the exception of the driver side bolster slight wear (No Cracks) Mechanical: 10/10 - Car starts and runs 100% no warning lights of any sort Drivetrain: 10/10 All necessary maintenance was just performed (please read below) Service: - Every single control arm, ball joint, and link was changed (Original Mercedes) - All fluids were replaced - Transmission, Rear Differential, Power Steering - All Filers (Air, Fuel and Cabin) and Spark plugs and Wires - Alternator and both Batteries (Main and AUX) - Expansion Tank, and all Radiator Hoses and Coolant Flush - Original Mercedes Windshield Modifications: Suspension Wheels and Brakes - BC Coilovers with Updated (fully removed Air Suspension) - Front and Rear Brembo Cross-drilled Rotors - Front and Rear Akebono Euro Pads (Full Ceramic) ZERO DUST - Front and Rear Stoptech Stainless steel brake hoses + ATE Super Racing Fluid - Custom built 3 piece Renntech Wheels 20x10” Front and 20x11.5” Rear (255/30 Front and 305/25 Rear Toyo T1R) Interior- Custom Steering wheel with C63 Paddle’s - Custom Piano black Full Trim - Shifter Console without any Suspension Funtions - Fully Built-in and integrated Radar Detector and Laser jammer (Top of the line Escort) Exterior- Window Trim and door handle wrapped Black (got rid of the nasty old chrome) - Full nose Clear Wrap (top of the line 3M) Complete Bumper and half hood and fenders - Carbon fiber Front Lip rear Diffuser and Trunk Spoiler - Updated Rear full LED Tailights (2009+ model CLS) with correct Modules so no lights on dash - Window Tints all around (70%) including Windshield with 3M Top of the Line Crystalline Tint - Badgless Hood Grille (From Germany) Performance- 77MM Supercharger Pully with Belt Wrap Kit (including all pullies) - Bigger Heat Exchanger, Split Cooling System and Intake Phenolic Spacers (car never runs hot) - Kleeman Headers, removed Front Cats and Resonator (no Check Engine smell or drone) - 550 CC Bosch Injectors - Eurocharged Engine and Weistec Transmission Tune I am WELL over $20k in modifications and maintenance (in the past 10 months) my loss will def. be your gain. If you are looking to buy a CLS55 AMG this is the one, you will not find another one in this condition and maintenance history, if you can get past the miles (which are mostly highway) like I did when I bought the car and consider everything that has been done it’s a no brainer I have no reason to sell this beauty and if the reserve is not met I will keep it and drive it on the weekends. The only reason im listing the car, im in the process of buying a house and I could use the extra $$$ from the sale . As I said my loss will be your gain, remember buying a car like this from a dealer might be cheaper but with no Maintenance history that can end up being a huge money pit down the road.

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
