Dreaming of a CL55k - one day maybe....
Where I work (not MB) we have had some parts on back order for over a year. 4 months is nothing!

Mercedes e220 night edition
My car is at the garage 4 months now awaiting parts from MB
Truly a joke
Would be quicker to go to Germany and get it myself

6+ months, on more than on occasion. Main dealer calls me every 2-3 months to confirm which backordered parts I still want.....

In some cases, supply chains have 15 month delays.

Make no mistake, the effect of Covid lockdowns on global supply of goods will take another 3-4 years to fully rattle out of the system.
