Um, yeah okay. Just to tick people off. Wow, that sounds mature.
btw, I really don't care what you or other people do. But in the car world, pretending to be something you are not (because you hope people notice and think you're driving something better) is a no-no. Enthusiasts can spot subtle differences and it ends up as egg on the face of the person who does the phony badging.
So go ahead and badge your diesel with an AMG badge. You won't tick anybody off, but they'll get a good laugh at your expense. And hey, maybe you'll make the gallery of rogues here on MBWorld.
btw, there's a forum run by MBUSA/AMG for AMG owners only. And the AMG editor of the site started a thread on posers. So for MBUSA there is even an official "no engine, no badge" mantra.
Here you go, my E63. As real an AMG as it gets. And no badges.

Beautiful car - Flint Grey is one of the most stunning colours for the W211!
Would love to see many more photos of this beauty!

My neighbors kid washed his Porsche with rocks and sand one day. Until then I've never seen a grown man truly cry. To show what an incredible man my neighbor is the kid is still alive and well today

Thanks. I had to look hard last year to find a left over 2009 in Flint Grey. There were only three still in the USA. Have you seen any in Indium Grey before? It's a warmer looking grey.

)Are you considering getting clear corners?

Yeah, I mentioned it in my last post above. I haven't gotten around to it. Not sure if clear or smoked looks best with gray(?) I'm thinking clear. Anything but amber 
fwiw, I put clear Euro corners on my 993 Porsche and it looks 100% better.

Despite our disagreement on the whole badging issue, we do agree on the color. Our Bluetec is Flint Gray and it is a great color for these cars!

Is it also a Flint Grey one? Looks fantastic…love the 18' Sportpackage rims and with the V8 and 4matic this is a mind-blowing combo. Nice to see comfort seats as well (was the only thing, next to the Automatic) that I've missed on our W211.

Yes Flint Grey. After the winter we just had in MD and the wife getting stuck in her FWD Grand Prix GTP, 4-Matic was the only thing we looked at. There are other options I'd of liked to have gotten, but at the price we paid this was a steal.

Just An Update!
Nothing new really, just more miles, about 65,000 miles actually. I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I could put up some pictures after a detailing session including clay bar and NXT 2.0 synthetic wax. I will someday make the trip out to Power Wheels Pro and get some new wheels.
