No it isn't, since middle 2010. In Europe there is not CLK 550, here it's called CLK 500 but has a 5.5 engine

Yes, here there are very few CLKs with the AMG pack. Other thing we don't have here are 17'' AMG wheels as I have seen on the pics thread. All the AMG wheels for the CLK are 18''

In the USA the AMG kit for the CLK 500 is not an option? What an strange thing, here it costs about 7000 us dollars, and depending of the country if you want to install it after you have bought the car you have to pay an homologation cost. It happens with almost all the modifications; you have to pay to an engineer to do a study of security, pay for a goverment probe, and then pay for the homologation, and you have to have the bill of a professional installer to get the homologation (for example to install anything as simple as shorter springs etc...)

I had to do something similar to install my eibach pro kit springs for example

yes well everything here is complicated and very taxed, but for example here everyone can go to the university they want paying 0-1000 €/year.

That's the price... although right now I would prefer to have my AMG packet for free

Yes. For example:





4 cylinder diesel e class coupe with only paint, leather seats and navi (17'' wheels and everything stock): 57600 € = 86700 US $

Diesel price in Germany: aprox 7,60 US$ / gallon

What do you think?
