Dude I’m from Chicago and it’s negative 10, with tomorrow hitting negative 21. When Floridians complain about cold whether like it’s 65 degrees , I crack up in laughter . That AMG is gorgeous!
Fargo punching in... -22 below currently shooting for a high of -17 below. -34 below last night shooting for -31 below tonight. Climbing out of the cold snap on Friday to a balmy +25 above and +17 above for the low Friday night... You want wind chill temps? Don't make me go there... Class dismissed.
This guy loves cars and I also appreciate the comments on the noise as an apparent fellow misophoniac. I know right, those seagulls, the construction, the airport noise, omg right!!!
@@toraw4tv1 He is into resto-mods now for the past few months. Kinda not my thing but I'm still subbed on him in the hopes that he'll review cars again.
Hasn't been the same since the 90's. Csere, Bedard, Yates, and the incomparable Phillips. All of them... R&T, C&D, MT, are garbage now. Half ass specs and technical editing.... I only pick them up when the 3 or 4 years for $12 comes around.
If I could go down to Naples just to have random loud ass noises "Going nuts" through Bills reviews, just hear him piss and moan for everyones entertainment I would 😂
17:58 Is that a cop car? If so, close call! LOL The SL55 is legendary, but, imagine if you could fit the latest MB gearbox to it... THAT would be superb.
I just love the classic reviews on the AE lot even more than the new ones in Peter's yard, Bill. Weren't it for repairs and maintenance on the ABC-Fahrwerk, I'd totally buy an R230 SL55. So people have to settle for the CLK 55. Still with an M113, but sadly not supercharged. Anyway, thanks for the review.

I had a slk 55 amg which was fun had 355 stock took it to 416hp but now looking into these sl 55 but see they are cheaper then then the slk’s which i’m kinda confused on…
Lol, My sister lives in Chicago and I've got her now watching your channel and had to text me about your Chicago comment, She'll take that 45 and wear flip-flops,
Does the US version not have a push button starter in the gear selector ? My Euro spec car has? BTW Bill if i lived in US i would be buying this car from you as your reviews are brilliant! Lol built by Betty Rodriguez ....!!
never noticed this before but the climate control shows degrees in Fahrenheit but the coolant temp in the dash is in Celsius? That's German continuity for you!
Love the car, but that damn goofy gauge cluster surround ... looks like they designed it for Groucho Marx ... or maybe the Monarch from Venture Brothers. If I had that car, I'd be thinking of ways to re-mod that every time I was in it.
It's a real driver's fun-car!! Fantastic, timeless elegance and reliability and excellent performance. Mercedes and Nespresso, what else? Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹🍻👍🍺

Did a hellcat exist when this was new. Use a bit of critical thinking. This car went up against Ferraris and mclarens F1s. So if it could run with the super cars and beat them at their own game then it is a super car.
Tony Wellington I have one of these and I think its Super BTW i have had 997 GT3’s /. 997Turbo & Turbo S and the SL 55 is as good as them but just inna different way .....
I was being a bit tongue in cheek initially ...sorry T I agree it doesnt fall into the correct definition of a’Supercar’ but who needs a Supercar anyway.... I have divested myself of all that could gave been described as such ..the 997 turbo S certainly was but it was a great car but for 75% of the time virtually unusable at full potential ... Im going to get back to a Cayman GTS or R much more usable in real world conditions Maybe a 1M might be a thought too

First reviewer to mention the air-conditioned glove box. The man knows his SL's.
I simply love the way you present these cars. I'd buy from you anytime. Until then, great vids!

My aunt in Miami gets cold at 75° lls she literally puts on a jacket.
I’m in California and it’s like 50 degrees here and I can totally relate to him lol. 45 is chilly!

Niles is not Chicago, I know I'm from evanston.
Andre Holmes dude I never said Niles is Chicago. It’s just a user name .
I own one of these cars, actually have owned three including the twin turbo, V12 SL600. Phenomenal, unlike anything else!
You are a true salesman ... thank you! These are great. I just bought a mint 2003 SL55 AMG with only 45k miles! Just love it.
A day in a life with Bill and all the things that aggravate him,
Absolutely love it,
I could just picture ,you doing the weather it would be epic,
This guy loves cars and I also appreciate the comments on the noise as an apparent fellow misophoniac. I know right, those seagulls, the construction, the airport noise, omg right!!!
Love how this guy went from talkin about the cold n chickens to talking about the car 💀
I love this channel. Great personality and videos
This is something Saabkyle04 used to do. Review cars. I miss him doing that. Good thing Auto Europa Naples is still doing this.
Yo, did he stop? He's not reviewing no more?
@@toraw4tv1 He is into resto-mods now for the past few months. Kinda not my thing but I'm still subbed on him in the hopes that he'll review cars again.
@@Randolph_ wow. Mamabicho mamao i haven't seen him or demuro eve since ive subbed to naples dude lol
I miss Csaba over there at Car and Driver
Joes Golden Garage same with me. He’s a one of a kind!

4:03 CLK AMG GTR is from the 90's and had over 600hp

Lilrick96 thinking of having a flamingo and monkey farm built nearby just to make noises lol
That was a great review!

Do you have Italian roots?

"explosion of noise" LOL i died
Are we gonna see that gorgeous red CLK next? I hope!!
Il love the contruction and the beeping😂😂😂
the SL55 AMG stock 493 horsepower so if it's tuned it should be doing more than that
Lol,

I think the push button starter in the gear selector is only for cars equipped with Keyless Go, an optional feature in US 2005 cars.
@@MDavidG1 ah that makes sense , I consider myself enlightened cheers
@@terryurquhart8724 Yep! Same with the CLK 55 actually, which turned out to be a good thing because the Keyless Go has a few kinks.
never noticed this before but the climate control shows degrees in Fahrenheit but the coolant temp in the dash is in Celsius? That's German continuity for you!
5speed transmission, not 7?
Cabin in the woods!

Anti-glare is the purpose.
+nyctreeman its a SALUTE to old MBZ designs of the past
Ohhhhh my parents have one of these. It is a sledgehammer. Traction control is rendered useless
That Betty Rodriguez can build motors though, too bad she didn't build this. LOL.

Naples women love it when they can bring out their boots.
Someone stoled your Heat .
Just because a car is fast doesn't make it a "Super Car" if that's the case a Dodge Hellcat would be a supercar 0-60 in 3.5sec top speed 202mph 707hp

GREAT review BUT its NOT a supercar

I like it so much i still think its ‘ Super ‘

That chick from Autohaus of Naples is just a weirdo to me who knows very little about cars. Bill, you’re a pro.
🐓💨
I like the way you think. Lots of gun pockets with the size of the gun it can fit! 😂👌You are awesome dude.
