EU vs USA c55amg
Hey,
does anyone know whether they re diffences between the European c55 and the American c55?
a second question, are they some issues to watch out for when buying a c55 amg?

The EU cars had better options available. Voice control, park assist, folding mirrors, paddle shifters, big brakes, digital climate control with true dual zone - stuff like that. But mechanically and visually basically the same.
Best to do a search to find a short list of areas to look out for.

The US cars had buttons, not paddles. It was thought the 2007 model was going to get paddles and digital climate control - but the car was killed MY06. You can retrofit the options, but one in particular is half baked - that's the digital climate control. Switching out the controller fitted in the dash is cosmetic at best. The true functionality requires an entirely different HVAC box behind the dash.

Where did you get the real paddle shifters? do you have a link for me?
