Hi Everyone, I was talking to the head of AMG at the recent AMG Challenge Event and he informed me that quad exhaust and 18 inch wheels are coming, I assumed for the 05 model year.

there is no reason for there to be new brakes. The C55 has the motor and trans and it uses teh same brakes as the C32 (2002-2004) and the W209 CLK55. Same old 13.6 inchers will be around for 05 production as well. But the SLK55's 6 pot/4 pot brakes will be a direct bolt on for the C55 and the CLK55! So upgrade away!

Maybe he meant soon...not 2005, but soon.
I guess we'll all know in 2005 now won't we.

Hey guys, to settle this debate for good, I just e-mailed a friend of mine who is a Product Manager from AMG. He confirmed the quad exhaust and the 18" wheels, but only on the coupe. The 55 Cab. will get the 18" wheels, but will only have the twin exhaust on one side!!! DVD Navi. had also been confirmed for both, but he would not tell me if the car will have the 7-spd tranny! 
I can finally sleep easy tonight!!!!:p

I finally got him to confirm that the SLK55 will be the first AMG to get the 7-spd. The CLK & C55's will not have this until later, due to the transmission tunnel not being big enough to accommodate the later unit!!!

While you sleep easy tonight, I will be crying in my pillow.
So do you think I will take a big hit on my car for a trade in?? Its 2003 CLK55 with 7K miles on it. Still have 4 years of payments to make.
