The CLK55 has a M113 engine with the factory 2.82 gear and the atb diff. carrier installed. I never have changed its ratio, but if I did it probably would not be what you were to expect. I would possibly wind up w. a 2.65 or 2.47 or even worse. I would test and calculate first.
The 500E has a M119 engine, has had an LSD carrier fitted and several different ratios tried, 2.82, 3.46, 2.65 and finally a 2.47 which shall remain until I "calculate" a different ratio is in order.
The 3.46 "felt" impressive, was a good learning experience and other than that it was a waste of time, money and hard on the car.
