Get an x-pipe; you'll love the sound

Also, if you can get them go for an Eibach matched kit (shocks/springs) - a friend rund them om his Alfa 156 and the ride vs. handling is unreal. Smooth ride, iron control!

how much did the xenon lights set you back?

I paid $300 for the Xenons and 800 for the Angel Eyes, total = $1,100.00
But when they are on it is worth every penny

Got another question for everyone, is it possible to mix body kit. I know it may sound rather tacky but I love the rear bumper of the M5 and Love the Breyton Front bumper even more. I would like to do this but will this line up right? Or is this just bad taste? I mean i know normal people would not be able to tell but other car people would know, and its those people that i care about more.

Its definitely possible to mix. I've seen it done before(moreso on wishlists than on actual cars :roll: ) but go for it. I couldn't tell you if it would look good, I'm not familiar with the Breyton look, but see if you can find a picture of a car that's done it, or get someone to photoshop them on for you. Give yourself an idea of how it would look. I'm sure unless they are completely contrasting styles, or they have a monstrous difference in clearance when on the car, it would look fine.

Not to start anything but didn't you have a CL600?

Just to keep this thing going without the engine light turning on every day cost me about 6 grand already. This car is a BLAST when it is working, but seems to me that Mercedes 600 is more problems than its worth. NEED ADVICE. Any help would be appreciated. any fellow 600 people out there please tell me if you guys are having the same problems. Either that or I got a lemon. If things continue at this route i'm gonna get rid of this and get a 645ci asap.

Well spotted ambry... so why not a 645 and just an "old" 540? The 645 is to die for!

adlinyusman · 03-09-2004, 09:16 PM

wow, not bad, you've owned a CL600 at the age of 18. When i was your age...I drove normal run of the mill cars. Well i hope to see some photos of you and the new car. I'm sure a lot of ppl here would love to host your pics. And hope you post em up soon...you wouldn't want TT to grill you, hehehe

TT · 03-09-2004, 09:17 PM

LOL look who's speaking, the one that drive an F355 and an M3 ar 21!!

But indeed, we sure always prefer to see pics to avoid misunderstandings in this section

who me? 8)

High3nd · 03-10-2004, 11:10 AM

Yes i also drove a CL600. I am a HUGE mercedes fan and especially 600 fan. Its just that the 600 is constantly in the shop. I wholesale cars so I am always driving this and that. But i finally decided to get a driver which is the 540i. And let me tell you about that CL since you mentioned it, i ended up paying almost 4k on keeping that car alive. 600 are great cars, but they cost you a grand a month to keep up.

All I'll say is that I LOVE MY PARENTS. I'll also take pics of my Dads "piece" and post them along with my car. I also have some pics of my Buddys car that would give you all a boner. Tell me where to send the pics or what exactly to do so I can post them.

When i saw the Price on the new 645i I almost shit my pants. Stupid Money.

adlinyusman · 03-10-2004, 05:14 PM

from your posts i assume that you're pretty well to do, so the question i'm wondering in my head is, why didn't you get an '04 545i instead?

That's a really good car, the only downside to the new 5, is the plastic part below the aircon, i guess that's where you place your keys and stuff, but the new 5 has way to much plastic in it anyway. BUT! It's a really good drive(the 530i)...not the 545i (since it's not released in Malaysia yet, and just released here in Oz), much much better than the old E39 and marginally better than the E-Class but not nearly as refined as the E. If i had to choose between those two, i'll go for the Brabus E 270CDi, beautiful car and much cheaper than the 545i, and you get a decent mpg!!
