Not quite my cuppa, but very swish 8) How is it on fuel?

What age? That engine had some interesting timing issues when they first came out... :-\

On a long run 28mpg, Twisty roads around 22mpg.

Yeah the early M273 did have timing issues before a certain serial number. This one is the latter so should be all good.

It’s a late 2008, 67k, 1 owner from new, full MB service history. High specification.

Took the V8 Benz for a nice long drive  :y



While parked up, Watched a little Tennis on the inbuilt TV with the massage seats on  ;D



Missed this, when did you get that? Always liked the CLS.  :)

Likewise always liked the CLS. Had it about a month now, Had been looking at the classifieds for awhile for a good one to turn up  :y

Fuel wise for a 5.5 V8 it’s about the same if not a tad better than the 3.2 Omega  :y

In a similar situation with mine... Rust.. It is sad to see, They where good cars and there are still some well looked after ones out there and i really enjoyed them. But it looks like i'll be getting a replacement as well sooner rather than later sadly... It will be interesting to see in the years to come how many oof members still have a Omega with a MOT.

2.6 CDXi ,Not a 3.2, BUT how often is the extra pint (578ml) of CC really going to make much difference on todays roads  :-\

Sorry, going to disagree, the 2.6 I had made all the right V6 noises but was gutless compared to  a 3.2, it also used more fuel.

+1  :y

General Car Chat / Re: Thoughts on Jaguar XFR

An alternative within your budget could be E63 AMG, but only the one with the proper AMG 6.2L V8.
As big V8s go, they are impressive, 500bhp, 7500 rpm and no superchargers or turbos to worry about.  XFR's very nice too, the supercharged 5Litre is tuned for low end torque, but I'd be worried about reliability, especially transmission and electrics.

As nice as the C63, E63, ML63 etc.. With the M156 6.2 V8 N/A engines are they have been known to have their own problems. Not very common, Granted. But would always be at the back of my mind... I believe most but not all of the niggles where fixed from around 2012/2013>... Earlier cars from 2006-2012 that had the M156 6.2 V8 N/A engine fitted could have issues such as the head bolts snapping, lifter issues, cam shafts... etc..

No idea what the newer E63 with the 5.5 V8 Turbo are like for reliability. Maybe they would be the safer bet?

Only powerful Mercedes I’d consider would be one fitted with the what’s considered a pretty reliable engine. The M113 5.4 V8 N/A or M113K 5.4 V8 Supercharged... Although I believe these ended around 2006 for the E55 / CLS55.

Take these for example, Very nice car’s IMO.

Where is the bonnet mat?

Looks like a mouse did some chewing in the engine bay at some point. Maybe it chewed the mat as well and they decided to remove it and hoover up the mess?.. Only explanation I can think of. :-\

Pretty sure on the pre Facelift only the mini facelift around 1998 onwards CDX, MV6, ELITE had HIDs.
