My New(To me) Weekend Cruiser- Non BMW Content

[Chucky]

Hi Guys

Glad to see the fanatics are still at it. Its been a while since Ive been on the forum, and since then I am no longer a BMW owner...but still a BMW fanatic at heart.

I had to sell my Bimmer in hopes of getting another weekend car but the sale fell through(dealership sold that car days before I had to sign the paper work)

None the less I had a yearning for something German and decided to pull the trigger on a CLK (had my eye on a AMG version for nearly 2 years before I got this one)

As with any older German car it needed some maintenance and these are the things Ive done on the car since taking ownership:

Replaced valve covers(they were leaking oil)
Re-sealed breather chambers
Replaced breather hoses
Replaced radiator and hoses(radiator was leaking slightly)
Replaced Expansion tank/radiator reservoir(just for good measure)
Replaced Front brake disks and pads (These were expensive as they are the 2 piece ones with 6 pot calipers)

Overall I am very happy with the car, the reason for choosing a CLK was I was sold on the pillar less design meaning when you let all the windows down you have this big opening making it kinda feel like a convertible and looks so damn cool.

Anyway below are pics of my weekend cruiser:

great purchase and i must agree on the pillarless windows even from the CE and SEC days...these also look great with 63 front bumpers .

I love this shape CLK, still looks so good, especially in AMG guise!

Many happy miles of smiles :thumbs:

Wowsers thats a beast/cruise missile/sleeper creeper ; a CL 63(FL) is my next AMG, but the sounds of the N/A 63 is second to none.

Wow!!! Looking Good.
Yeah, both looking Good.

These Merc V8's make a great noise.

Congrats on the CLK 55 AMG Chucky. Looks great, and they are really solid cars , Well built , quality materials , so amazingly comfortable . I grew up BMW M crazy but after spending time in an AMG, I’m loving the dark side

@razz - Very slick limo sir would have been the perfect combo if u still had the z4m.

Agree, I still miss that little beast

Actually went to check out a Z4 35iS last week
