I apologize for the cold remark, you are absolutely correct they sale non AMG cars with AMG body kit and wheels, but deep inside you would know that under the hood is not an AMG hand assembled motor. The looks are their with performance missing in the equation! No offense, no disrespect to all non AMG owners, maybe go with a renntech or brabus

Look at these people over something that is none of their business.

I'm from NewYork but my current location is Switzerland. I plan on moving back to the states within the next year or two. I just got back from a trip to L.A. actually was staying in Malibu and I fell in love with the west coast so I will most probably make my way there and find a nice little aprtmnt.

This thread proves that AMG owners are very sensitive to their ***** extension.
I would never get an AMG badge i just wanted to see how many of you get their panties in a bunch. Stop bringing up the clk63 AMg idiots 2 diff motors.
YOU HAVE CLK55 AMG not CLK 63 AMG you drive an outdated car that anyone can get for 25K.

The engine warrants the badge. Not the wheels, or appearance bits. Push come to shove, no engine, no badge. Power doesn't matter either. Did a man working for AMG in Affalterbach Germany assemble your engine by hand?

Can't believe I just got riled by a troll.

Now what if you put an AMG engine into a non-AMG car. Would that warrant the badge?

He is simply saying that they thought thet were getting a c32 instead of a c320. If they would of left the c320 and put an amg badge then he wouldn't of had an issue. Where did you get the need to remove everything amg from the vehicle? Now you're just trolling. You been banned before for a reason but I think you're horrible arguments are funny so glad you're back

Watch starting at the 6:00 mark. My takes is that Jeremy believes that the handbuilt numbers just don't add up. I wonder what MB defnes as "hand built"? Hopefully it's more than that they applied the AMG badge.

Ignore Clarkson's claim of only twelve engine assemblers.

If you are familiar with the Affalterbach facility you would know that there are 45-50 engine assemblers.

Each man ( one man-one engine) assembles 2-3 engines per day.
Don't think that they soley use hand tools as there are production jigs that are able to torque all the head bolts at one time.

Is there a quality difference between an AMG and a fully automated Merc production line build, the answer is most certainly.

AMG due to volume doesn't retain the cache that the pre merger one off builds had ( with the exception of the Black Series ), but still the AMG variant will hold value more then a standard production Benz.

No dyno you're an exception you're car is getting a full transformation. If I were you I would leave 320 on there and put AMG so you could smoke those who think you're a poser
