I was framed.

As we all know, the C32 and the SLK32 use 3.2 litre engines right? Aren't the C320 and SLK320 also 3.2 litre engines? I was wondering if MB uses the same engine and builds on it or if they use a completely different engine made just for the C32 and SLK32. It's a weird question but hey, the questions must be asked.

They all share the same block,heads and valves.
