Bagged Mercedes CL55 AMG - One Take 

Owner is awesome. Definitely knows his stuff.

This thing has boatloads of class

Nobody does big luxurious mad fast coupes like Mercedes, period.

This guy just did all the right things to his CL55 ..... nice.

Nice, cleanly done Merc. Owner was knowledgeable without being arrogant. Great One Take.

Looks like Moby owns a CL55 AMG good taste

Wow, much bags, such stance, so slick. Amaze. Very like.

I have a pristine 2003 CL 55 AMG that was owned by a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief and having served with a number of those guys I know them to be very detail oriented men who do everything by the book. After speaking with the man I discovered he had every single service record going back to the day the war came off the boat from Germany. I drove the car and after looking the car over carefully and checking the records I bought the car. It is, without question, is the finest CL 55 AMG I have ever seen. I really appreciated that the car is a true "Silver Arrow". I love the car and really love driving it. It is very much a great autobahn cruiser that is superb on long road trips with my wife. My wife dtives a 2009 CLK 550, with an AMG appearance group and is no slouch either with nearly 400 horsepower. I have loved Mercedes Benz cars since my first car, a 1956 Mercedes Benz 190 4 door sedan Pontoon, that my Pop and I restored. They are all great cars.

My dad has one of these sitting in his garage. 14k miles and never been out in the rain. Such a waste.

Would make a Moby joke but I'm not sure today's kids know who's Moby

AMG's are one of the meanest sounding engines

A 20min one take talk about low and slow love that Benz

I love it when even petrolheads like Matt pause the "engine this exhaust that" and take a moment to appreciate an interior like that. IMO it's a big part of the driving experience, for a fact I'm still searching for how a late90s-early2000 Benz makes you feel, missing that in every other car I drive.

"Sorry this video is longer than usual"? That was such a cool ride with such a cool mood from both of you that even if it was 60' it would still be a pleasure to watch. Thanks and waiting for the next one!

One of the greatest cars ever built imo

I can imagine the 13 dislikes are Evo and Sti drivers lmao

that AMG merc V8 sound is always the best! so sick.

Hey, the car is only slammed when parked, it's not like he's driving it around like that, jeeez. This car lends itself to air suspension and I really like full sized MB coupes and it looks like he has Lorinser (spelling) wheels on it and they look good to me.

Dman, it has absolutely no B pillars? This car is awesome!

Moby's new track - Kaleidoscope Windscreen

Matt & Lorenzo, rolling in a Benzo

That AMG grumble is awesome.

That CL sitting lower looks amazing. Beautiful lines that now can be shown off. Wow, this mans car is awesome.

A true masterpiece. One of the nicest Mercs there have ever been.

dude kept it clean..very nice

Really like the owner if this CL, and like always Matt... fantastic job with the review, very genuine &&passion

Awesome video Matt. Love the CL55

THE SOUND OF OLD 55 AMG !!!!!! LAWWRRDDD

Those Kleemann wheels look amazing!

The ride is super nice, I like that kind of old-school, which is not that old yet, as it has all gadgets you may need, it goes, it is so shiny , you can see the polish on paint when they were showing the door handles. The car is very nice, and this one seems to be nicely preserved, with nicely modded suspension

Am I the only one who doesn't like that steering wheel Mercedes put into almost all their cars back then?

So Moby owns a CL55 AMG..

Nice owner and car great video. This guy reminds me of squidward from sponge bob but if squidward was cool owned a badass bagged benz.

Nice car, at least the owner is honest about repair cost.

Pretty solid car! Easy to see why Ed Bolian used one for his coast to coast run. And those doors are super cool!

Clean. Sounds like a neat car to eat up miles of highway in comfort, class, and great speeds. Good job.

Very tasteful look. Not over done with body kit and stickers. Nice clean car.

I got a 90’s RHD C class full OEM+ build, and mannnn this thing hits my soft spot

the cl body is the sexiest car mercedes has ever came up with

I've always loved cars but kind of fell away from it in recent years. The Smoking Tire has got me really excited about cars again. Lately, I've been burning up the Internet looking at websites like Kelly Blue Book, Wikipedia, Carsforsale.com, wheelwell.com and RU-vid to try to figure out what kind of car project I should take up next. In this video alone, the reference to AccuAir is golden. I checked out their website and found really awesome company with, what looks like, even more, awesome products. Thanks Matt.

Best car I ever owned, I still miss mine.

I love these cars!! I've wanted to buy one so bad, but get scared off cause my pockets aren't deep enough for repairs and maintenance. I've heard quite a few stories from folks I knew. They're not expensive to buy used. But they can be a nightmare to maintain if you don't have the right connection to a repair shop. It can sit in shops for weeks waiting on parts.

Saw this car standing in the background when you drove the 900HP+ SLS AMG and was hoping you could cover it someday. Great, another thing off the list then! Thanks for the cool video!

Damn you Matt!!! I always end up at a cars.com or autotrader looking for the featured car whenever I watch one of your videos. And now I can't sleep.

Looks like a great car to cruise around in doing whatever you gotta do while still being able to itch that bug for the accelerator when you get it. Straight clear roads are so inviting. They mightaswell call them the Sirens of the land.

my cl 600 has done 100000 miles with zero issues on active suspension. ...change fluid regularly and it's fine

I don't know if I'm in the only one… but I kinda prefer the older Benz model's (80's, 90's, early 2000's, like the CL above) over the newer modern ones… Who else? ;)

Where is the Adidas tracksuit and the gold chain?

that glass AMG logo in the boot is awesome!

Not a fan of slammed rides , but it seems like a good solution for these cars with troublesome suspensions.

wow, trippy skies :D

great video. I am looking at purchasing CL 55. On a side note, the swirl in the sky reminds me of the teletubies...

Love the CL good job on the suspension and wheels...they're not blingy and look fantastic. Time to buy my father in laws S500

Beautiful and amazing car. One of the best ever

i like the extra drive by shots!

This was my dream car back in high school!

bags sound perfect for daily driving and some spirit drive...

I love benz, and the planned obsolescence in them is fantastic for folk that want em cheep!

the owner, great guy! and he knows his stuff

I fuckin love these old AMG cars!

Cool dude, cool car. Matt, what camera mount are you using - video is so stable?

That is one nice cruising vehicle.

This guy is the best guest Matt has ever had, hands down

Chris’s response read my mind when he said “all motor.”

same with big trucks. when I'm empty it's very bouncy and annoying but when I'm loaded it's a heck of a lot smoother.

A quality replacement damper for the air suspension costs ca. €500 on the spare part market. And the factory damper usually lasts more than 100k+ miles on standard quality roads. Dirt and sand can only damage the damper if the protection rubber hose is broken. In this case the seal from the damper becomes leaky as sand corns scratch the seal of the damper cylinder. I have never heard that all 4 damper are done at the same time. My rear left is now done with 115k miles and the others are above 75% as a damper test showed. Two years ago the engineer from the Vehicle inspection (TÜV) told me that the rubber protection is broken and the damper will pass away in the next time - the expert was right.

Looks so sleak when it's low 😍👌

That CL55 is DOPE!

Seems like 'dope' has made it's way back into the world...nice car.

Regretting the Focus RS yet?

Always loved the CL, they sure don't make 'em like this anymore. Also not normally a fan of bags, but this car looks delish

Owner knows hes stuff. Car looks to be in mint condition as far as the cars age is concerned, perfect match on the equipment, rims and body color. Sound and beauty in same package. Is there actually anything else to wish for except.. FULL THROTLEEEEEEEEEE!!!

that shadow of the cam man was cool

Those TS7's... probably my favorite wheels of all time

That is a super clean interior

Hello Moby. Nice car.

I think you brought up a good point when people are stretching their budgets a bit to buy high end cars like this I don't think they completely realize the extra upkeep costs. If your rich no worries I guess but when its just barely within your budget definitely something to consider.

one of my favourite cars when I was a kid...

that car is so clean. it looks brand new

His Info isn't in the description...

Did anyone else feel like they were on acid while watching this video? 😂

Its been a long time I seen the car.. still looking great B.. He know hows how to build great car.. Matt, you should have seen his w202 C-class before he had this CL..

This thing is clean!!

Miss my '02 CL they are notorious with their ABC problems. Its fav model and has tht classic design that wont be too dated

There's something about this C class that looks like it could have rolled off the production line yesterday. Also I love it when cars have adjustable sogginess levels, it's a very luxurious feature :p

That car is pure class.

When you google "Mercedes CL55 AMG" on images this car is literally the first one that shows up

Eurocharge makes a transmission chip. Under $2000. My 2005 came with Bluetooth.

Where can I get the same airbags. I just got a cl 55 amg 24k original miles and eventually I want to get the exact system but I don’t know where to go. I live near la

The 92-00 Lexus SC300/400 had a similar door hinge design.... (Luxury Supra! 2jz, non turbo)

The Factory suspension works perfectly- better than bags. If you maintain the suspension and stay on top of maintenance there is no need to replace it. I have a 2005 CL55 I have maintained that is working perfectly at 94K but I know I am not the norm.

this is awesome, i saw the thumbnail and thought it was my friends cl500 but it couldn't be because its in NY, it looks the same except with brabus wheels!

i've been following this dude on ig for a while and he is so awesome. He has the same taste in cars than me.

This car is just beautiful

And abc suspension is pretty amazing if it's working right I had my car for quite a while so I studied everything about it and know what to do when to do with suspension rebuild my own valve blocks which was pretty easy with harbor freight o-rings and pretty much have a good understanding of what each part does which makes it pretty simple to fix.

You guys forgot few things in terms of options. The fully optioned car also comes with adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control that slows down on its own, push button start on the shifter which makes even cooler, also handles had a sensor to open without using a key, you can open windows doors and sunroof with a push of a key which also enables your cooled seats and recirculation, also the memory seats adjust your mirrors and steering wheel which isn't that unusual but if u ever noticed it saves your rear view mirror also and once you press your preset memory button it goes to saved position as well as seats external mirrors and steering wheel. Oh and one more thing I forgot you can lower and put back up your rear headrests as well which is very cool because all other cars only lower them.

Excellent machine, simply beautiful.

That car is insanely clean

Dude has deep pockets mentioning buying a Panamera like it's nothing, lol. Matt giving the guy tips on the car before he sells it, Matt you are a good man.

8k repair bills.... on an 8k car. This is why these amazing cars depreciated so fast. When the 2008 S550 was out, the 2004 S500 was 19000$
