CLK Drivers
#23
I've had mine for 14 months now, (I'm knocking on my desk as I type this), no maintenance other than inspection/oil change and an alignment after I did the Bilstein's and wheels. I purchased the car with 55k and it now has 69k, and I can proudly say that the dealership has not touched my car (the same dealership I used to work for prior to Fabspeed). The 2000-2002 CLK's rarely had problems when I was employed which is the main reason why I purchased this car (coupe's not cabrio's). Service that I performed so far has been: spark plugs, springs, shocks, tie rod, steering damper, brake pads, rotors, and new radio.

Here's my '01 430. I'm putting it on the lift this week and installing the Kleemann T304 stainless steel headers with catbypass pipes and custom Fabspeed exhaust. Right now I have the H&R lowering springs with Bilstein Sport shocks stiffer 28mm sway bar. 19" Kleemann MS-11's will be on next week.

don't get the 320, I feel the 430 is great for performance/reliability. The 55 is a monster and will always make more power than the 430 but I have seen more problems with those coming into the dealership for minor leaks/repairs.

So, the factory puts the badge there?
