Great video! I'm Looking at one of these for my collection (I have a problem with cars and old motorbikes lol). One of my cars is a 4.4L V8 BMW 6 Series. Also ULEZ compliant and my brother's 1.6 diesel isn't, bonkers!😂 But also my 6 Series has active body control too, I do believe it's a different system and I can't raise the car with a button but it's a great system, car stays flat all the time for its size and the ride is beautiful! I did have an error message about ABC last year on a really hot day in traffic but no Issues since! Happy motoring with your CL bro. Subscription added :)

Nice and positive review. The brownish colour on top and sides of the windows is due to air getting between the two glass surfaces. You can stop this process by putting superglue in the groove. For a 20-year-old CL, yours has been well maintained, which is a rare these days. I think that well serviced models will increase in value in the coming years. Just look at what nice C126s are being sold for.
