The paddle shifters are standard equipment for MY2007 C55's (which were not sold in N. America). The bumper you see there is part of the "C55 performance package" which is available through AMG Performance Studio (formerly Manufaktur). Unfortunately, the "performance package" is not available in N. America.

great find

i disagree that the 55 looks similar to a regular c class. i guess it takes a real enthusiast to know and appreciate the difference.

Pc Valkyrie,
You’re like the automotive encyclopedia on this site for vehicle specs and special features on cars. Not dissing you in any way shape or form, In fact I admire your knowledge but that is a lot of info so far that I have read on your post\replies. Is this what you do for a living? Or you are just a very informed person. Not trying to be nosey either just curious.

No, my occupation has nothing to do with cars. I just like to stay informed about all aspects about my car. There is a lot of information from official sources on the internet, if you know where to look. Also, I have a friend who has "connections".
