Something missing on C55 ?
Just had a test drive in a 04 c55 and noticed there was no markings on the gear leaver, is there suppost to be an AMG badge or something there ?

The above pic is definitely a C32AMG.
My new 2005 C55 also does not have a benz star or AMG logo on the shift lever. It is simply a brushed "aluminum look" flat circular badge.

As for the gear lever, its brushed aluminium with black lettering with the words C32 on it, although not clearly visible in the picture

Yea i absolutely hate the way my shifter looks...ive been looking for a badge to stick in the middle. I would love an amg symbol badge like the one thats on the name plate on the engine cover but i cant even find a simple mercedes star emblem. If anyone knows of anyone that sells any sort of badge please post a reply...Thanks!

I have three cars -- the third is a perpetual Hertz rental that I put about 6,000 miles a month on. It's very easy to do when you live in a city with massive urban sprawl and good roads that allow you to consistantly do 70+. I figure I spend an average of about 3 hours a day in my car up to seven days a week.
