POSER ALERT
I have a sneaking suspicion one of our newer members here, nielsll, is claiming to own a BS but really does not.
So Niel....Please post up some photos of your BS and I will gladly apologize for this thread.
Ball is in your court....

Excellent idea, Jimmy 
Niel - if you have a BS, please use your VIN and post pics over on the AMG Private Lounge site. It is for AMG owners only and requires a VIN to join.
Thanks, look forward to seeing your pics.

So there's no "official" E63 Black, what gives?
Can you people really not sleep at night knowing someone dare have a "black" badge on their E63? Oh the horror... 
If I still had my SL55, I'd put a Black Series badge on it, A) it's black, B) it had black wheels, and C) was slightly tweaked thus faster then a "true" black. And lastly, I'd love to annoy the sensitive members of this great MBWorld community.
Carry on.

See, why can't things around here just circle around cool videos like that-- instead of posers and crap? It would make this place much more enjoyable... I've seen "another poser bites the dust" one too many times.

I always just laugh at posers with their fake badges but if it was a friend or someone I know there might be a conversation about why.
Anyone can put whatever badge on their car they want but at the end of the day, they are only fooling themselves (so cliche but so true).

LZH, that was a hot video nice sound. However, that was in a residential area and (no knock against you) what if something did go wrong? Just a thought.

I think the E63 looked cool-- the eye lids were a bit too much, but I think it's cool someone tried to differentiate from the crowd. What about the member we have here TTAMG, who has a CLK350 rebadged to hell with Black Series badges, body panels included? Everyone seems to think it's pretty cool. Is it because it's about to push out more power then a Veyron-- or is he just an exception?

What if I just thought it looked cool? For example, my SL600 is not an AMG it does however have the AMG bodykit. I'm not pretending it's an AMG, I just like the way it looks. What if I just liked the Black Series badge?

Your opinion may vary.

However, certain things invite criticism and if you're going to pursue those things, you need to be willing to accept the criticism. Similar to how celebrities need to deal with tabloids and media, deviating from what's "generally accepted" requires a certain level of tolerance for being bashed.
Now, that's not to say that the bashers are right for voicing their "uninvited opinions," but that's just how the world is...so what can you do?

As Vic said, everyone is entitled to do whatever they want to their car. And I am entitled to call them on the carpet if I feel they are posing. Badging your car as something it's NOT is posing in the worst way because it's just a badge....you can't call a badge a "cosmetic upgrade" because it's sole purpose is to MISLEAD. If you want to throw an AMG aero kit and AMG wheels on your non AMG, fine....because one could argue that it's purely cosmetic and I see nothing wrong with that. But badging your car as something it's not is LAME. I'd rather see it DE-BADGED altogether. Trying to say TTAMG's Black Series project is posing is unfair. He has been very upfront and honest with his project and is not in any way shape or form trying to portray it as a real Black Series. I'm also pretty sure that it has no badging that would falsely lead anyone to believe that it is a 63 or a real BS.

I see cheap shots are too easy for you to pass up-- I should have ascertained that from the fact your drive a Bimmer! Just kidding. Well... kind of, no... yes, wait... ok, yeah I'm joking.
The 600 is a cruiser... it just floats like a butterfly while I count stars through my pano. The glass roof neither of your cars have.
No matter... IC replacement is due soon enough...

In any event, I do see the main points everyone's trying to get across. I do not agree, but I acknowledge.
LZH, let it go my brotha!
Vic, I'll see you at the next meet-- somewhere in my rear-view.
Jam, you already know the answer to your question!

No cheap shots evaaaaa- its all good, you are the one that fell on your sword in the Kill Stories forum when Kady took you. Nothing but respect for that.
Oh anytime you want to take your star gazer and run either of my kraut mobiles or my Zero the hero let me know. I think Shamu was offended by your Bimmer comment
But Shamu will say good bye to your car alot faster than Lady Kady did.

YEA YEA I'm a poser, but dont be mad when the posers car makes a fast pass down the track. Anyways i have had several people pm about doing the same thing that i did and im not a d**k about sharing the info and spreading my knowledge about all the work that is included, part numbers, prices, etc. I'm also building real AMG parts that you real AMG people would never do and im posting pictures of all my road blocks along the way so you real AMG owners should appreciate what i do. I am the poser building a really expensive motor paving the road for you REAL AMG guys.
