dude, I freaking love your car man.

There was an entire thread written questioning its authenticity.

shadow will you join my side against the doubter. Have you seen the spec sheet? Its a shame that I'm selling the vehicle it is so nice. It might be the precursor to the sportline or atleast the suspension part where everyone was wondering if AMG helped with the suspension of the sportline.

I will have Ze Bozz chek it ouht (he's ze German ) and I'll let you know what he says regarding the spec sheet.

It's a real nice car, I would do everything in my power to keep it.

I had my boss read the spec sheet and he says that it does not state any engine modifications by AMG, but it DOES state factory installed AMG "style" exterior and interior modifications.

Dont know if that's a good thing or not

STILL, beautiful ride

I am almost 100% sure this car was modified in factory by AMG, but more or less cosmetic (excluding exhaust). This still classifies it as an AMG though.

Thats what the people from germany said and also the UK. This car was one of those ordered car, and then the guy would travel to the plant in germany, take the tour and then drive off the factory line with his new car. Thats what they told me.

Yep, so it is more or less a more factory customized and rare car.

1995 E320 Kombi, 2006 R350 Pewter/Black
After a year plus of ownership, pics...








Specifics: 1994 E320 all orginial, 78k miles, bought from World Wide Motors in Indianapolis in Feb. 06. They had sold it as a certified used car in 1999 and had done all work on it since. Love the car more and more every day. Thinking of moving to Monoblocks when the tires wear out.

Very nice, I recommend monoblocks as well, and a lowering kit for an agressive look. Good luck with wheels.
