2007 CLS63 - Granite Grey

Toying with the idea of selling this amazing machine, in a truly unique color that took me 8 months to find. Purchased the car with 29,000 miles on it, the grin is still on my face 9,000 miles later. This vehicle is my weekend car, mostly highway miles for leisure purposes. Car is parked in a private garage since purchased. I believe the styling of the W219 platform is more than stylish, and that there isn't any aero parts out there that can make this car look better than how it was originally design.

General - the vehicle is 100% stock. i am not an aggressive driver, nor if i've ever used all 500+ hp on this machine. The only enhancement i installed were the front lip spoiler, ride height, and a set of DPE superconcave wheels. No accident on Carfax report. I have all maintenance records available since i purchased the vehicle.

Wheels - Both the OEM wheels and aftermarket wheels are included in the purchase. The DPE wheels are SP-SC5 (original style), F 20"x9" and R 20"x11", ordered directly from DPE - Jojo. Center caps are fading due to the wheel cleaner i used, so please be prepared to purchase another set from DPE. Tires have 60% tread left - Hankook V12 F 255x30x20 and 305x25x20. The wheel package cost me $6,800 total

Flaws - Roof was damaged by a golf ball 4 months after my purchase. Living next to a golf course, the golf ball created a 2" dia indentation on roof that paintless dent remover wasn't able to fix. The color match on the roof is very very good, i can take closer shots of it upon request.

Reason - I owned an E46 M3 for 5 years prior to purchasing this CLS63. I like every bit of the CLS63, but it just lacks the the rawness of the M platform cars. I love the styling, comfort, power of the CLS, but i just cannot pin-point on what i don't love about it when compared with BMW besides the driving experience. I drive by myself almost 95% of the year, so i am more interested in a 2-door coupe or a 2-seater. I would have to say that the CLS63 is too-much of a car for my use.

Resources - Vin # WDDDJ77X77A089358. Vehicle is located in Northern California, no joy rides however. below are the links to the photos, please do not hesitate to ask for more photos/information.
