Good evening I'm from iceland and i have a MB C30 CDI AMG 3.0 L I5 engine with 231 BHP and 540 nm Torgue and Diesel engine the only one AMG changed they say.

It is the little brother of C32 but tows more and is like a sofa to drive.

It's a great car almost bought one... I don't think it ever was offered on the US market that's why you never heard about it guys.

I have seen one in the states. It was in Charlottesville, VA. I followed the guy around town for 30 mins until he stopped, I also stopped, I think i freaked him about a little. The company he worked for was a fuel additive company and it was essentially here on a limited "VISA" for fuel testing, 18months I believe. He said they had to get rid of it soon and he was bummed because he loved the car. I asked him what they were going to do with it, and he said either export it, or destroy it and it was cheaper to destroy. I think I had a single tear roll down my cheek from that. :_(

C30_AMG

i cant remember it in english but it is not a warning light its what appears in diesel cars,that u have to heat it up for few sec before starting it

C30_AMG

If you want the really rare edition you should look for C30 AMG with the face-lift interior and the touring model (wagon). Like this one http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/sh...e&pageNumber=1

With tuning you can have one with 300 HP and over 600 NM of torque.

C30_AMG

if i EUC map it then its 271 Hp and 610 NM

vaiste001

Why settle for 271?

I know a couple of C30 AMG cars in Finland that are daily driven and they have ECU map with 300 HP and 670 NM with absolutely no problems. AMG diesel engine really has potential.
