    Ditto on the special leather touches (although I can't understand why they're not part of the package in the first place). Glad to see that you got a subtle color.

    eclou - how does the turbo go in city driving as compared to your E55? I own a CL55 and am interested to know. Thanks.

    I live in a very congested area with alot of construction. The turbo with a 6spd is complaint enough to manage the road surfaces without any reservations. There are not any roads that I have to avoid, the ground clearance is very good, and the car feels very tight over uneven pavement.

    The clutch is very light and the shifter precise so the hassle of a clutch in traffic is kept to a minimum. The E55 is of course is better suited to congestion with the auto, but the 6spd turbo is hardly a burden.
