AMG = Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach. AMG was founded by former Mercedes engineers Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher in a town near Stuttgart called Großaspach.

He's right. I belive he meant "M" as in "M-Series" in BMW. It does stand for motorsport.

cause theres no point in doin that. i told him he was wrong, its not that hard to do the research. 'you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day, or you can teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime'

^ I dont think he was wrong, I think that when he said M he was talking about the M in M1/M3/M5/M6. Not the M in BMW

Is each AMG engine model signed by different builders? Or is it stamped with a common name?
