Having an analog clock is fine to me. But I don't like where they put it.

Having two MB emblems on the front is what's dumb looking.


Perhaps it so the tow truck guy knows for sure where to take it when it's dead on the side of the road?

On old VW's, I'm pretty sure the clock was bigger than the speedo.  :facepalm:

Time moves faster than the car?

Perhaps seeing a clock helps counteract the time dilation effect of marijuana.

It looks like the engineers were drawing the dashboard and ran out of things to put in the guages and decided "hey we don't have a clock yet how about a clock we could use a clock."

At MB the clock has always been right in front of the driver since the 1970s.  :huh:

Step 1: Look at the analog clock in front of you for the time.
Step 2: Tell the douchebag next to you the time (Turning your head in their direction is optional but adds to the effect.).


Very simple.  :huh:


And most people these days have a watch or a phone - both which can tell time (duh).

Completely defeating the purpose of the gigantic ugly clock obstructing the gauge cluster...

Took the BMW out for a spin yesterday and did 220 km/h with the summer tires on. I didn't take a photo because the car felt a little unstable on this rough Autobahn and I needed both hands on the wheel. A lot of Autobahn stretches now have uneven surfaces and some cracks thanks to the cold winter and salt. It's the same in Munich where some roads have potholes the size of a football. Most of them are being fixed ASAP though.

Can't wait to see it!

The closest I ever got to such insane power was a CL600 Biturbo with a 500-hp V12 and 1000 Nm of torque! But it's definitely nothing compared to the SLS which is a purebred sports car and not a luxury GT cruiser like the CL!
