Its actually a hitch receiver for towing trailers. I have no idea what the towing capacity is for the c43 or how much towing this car ever did, but the hitch was installed in a way that it created that bend in the plastic bumper. If I removed it, it would still be bent there, so I leave it installed.

The cars are both totally stock hut show some very curious differences.

The silver one sounds way meaner. Exhaust is louder and sexier. Silver one is also noticeably faster than the black one, but the black one has a bad oxygen sensor, so I dunno. Its wild having two of them and then comparing.

in europe towhooks for c43 is not allowed according to car manual
although i've seen some cars like E55 AMG with this option, which is strange?

so this is not for jacking up the car, is it only for trailers getting hitched?

your c43's has different performance, oxygen sensors makes the car go bad and so does a bad MAF, maybe you have a combination of both parts being bad?
when you can, try to get them replaced and you have better performance.

do you have 4 oxygen sensors on each c43?
euros have only 2 front oxygen sensors, rears are plugged

it's a rather small hitch, so it's for small trailers or (more likely) a bike rack?

yes, 4 O2 sensors on the US spec. I know which one is bad, but budget is very very tight right now, so the black one isn't moving until I fix it. needs to be soon, because have to update tags in july and can't do that with CEL on!

black on silver is old skool and very cool
car looks nice, however there are 2 things which you bummed out.

AMG plate stuck on your boot trim below the star on your trunk doesn't belong there, stick it somewhere to your interior dash panel.

AMG side logo's should have been placed on rear doors if you want these decals

other than that, car looks nice.
are you dropping her to the ground?
