Or will only the new E55 have it? Can you get the AMG kit (NOT the sport package) on the E500?

From the looks of all the available literature here in the U.S., I would venture to say that there will not be an AMG kit available as a factory installed option. Seems that MB wants to keep the E55 distinct from the E320 and E500.

In keeping with previous patterns of AMG body work offered on other models my bet is that you will be able to order it...here is a pic of the AMG body package currently offered in europe...If they follow the pattern with the SL there will be subtle differences between the Sport option body work and that standard on the AMG cars.

I spoke to my dealer the other day, and he mentioned that the AMG body kit can be ordered through your MB dealer and then installed in partnership with a local body shop. No factory installed AMG kit is available for the E320 or the E500.

I see... so you are forced to pay for what it comes with on top of the AMG kit itself, never mind the body shop fees.

If that is the case, then maybe people will opt for after market body kits and rims....
