then off to Affalterbach the next day, do not try to drive there without GPS, even then I suggest you do what I did, take the S-Bahn and bus, it was faster much much cheaper, I took the S-bBahn to Marbach and then rode a bus that was sitting outside the train station to Affalterbach and walked a few block and was there, At Affalterbach I was given a personal tour by Herr Bensegger, I was shown the "Private Lounge" and the motor production line, there I got to meet and spend a few moments talking with the man who built my motor, photos were not allowed in the motor facility. It was an amazing and personal experience if you love AMG and cars a must do

The signature plate is a nice touch, also the black valve covers.
