On MBUSA.com, they have wallpaper you can download of the C32 AMG. Well, the picture in the wallpaper is identical to what they had in 2002, except they changed the text to say 2003. The car in the picture is actually a 2002, however they are saying it's a 2003.

I agree...

I have gotta say the web design team is weak for Mercedes. BMW has a much better team I think.

What are the changes between the 02' and 03' C32?

Thanks,

If the exterior aesthetics of the C32 AMG remained the same between the 2002 and 2003 model years, there would not be a problem with using the same pictures, however there are exterior aesthetic differences.

I agree, MB makes awful websites, and the MB international website is not very user friendly at all. BMW has great marketing, web design teams, etc. but Mercedes-Benz builds the best cars .

John, don't get mad at MB's web team just because you are so impatient about getting your car that you go to the site three to four times a day. Hurry up, become an owner, so you can stop sucking their bandwidth. Thank you.

LOL.

It's not my fault that Hans is slow at building my engine!

John, the difference u r thinking about it's the difference between the bi-xenon and the xenon. For those that don't equip the bi-xenon, 02 and 03 will look the same except the wheel center cap being chrome instead of black MB badge as the center cap.

The center caps are the old kind, but who cares? Better to drive the real thing than looking at pictures all day John!

Fast Cars!
i hate the BMW website, I personally think that MBUSA.com is a great site. they give alot more info on every car than any other site i have ever seen. Even 0-60 times which i like.
The BMW sites pisses me off when u go pick a model and have to put your mouse on those tiny tiny tabs and if u move they go away.

MBUSA is very easy to use.

BMWUSA and MBUSA are both good websites, but BMW have more interactive features.
