Nice write up
There is one or 2 things that are not totally accurate according to me.
The fisrt generation of Black Series was the SLK 55 BS.
The CLK BS engine produce 507 HP at 7200 RPM
Even if AMG does not communicate officially about the production numbers,it seems that 700 were produced with 367 for the US market (no carbon door panels and no race seats)

2.) 349 made for the United States was the most consistent number I could find. Until Mercedes opens up and tells us the truth, that was the best guess we had.

I agree. When providing the information I made clear that it was an estimate of cars for the United States. Overall though, I liked the article, and it is always fun to see your own car represented.

Good write up and marketing, though. Well done. And GLWS.
