WHat Is This Car?

I don't have pictures, but I'll describe it as best as I can. It's a black W211 with no apparent external AMG modifications except five spoke alloy wheels that have the AMG logo painted on them in black. The nameplate says "E 500," not any of the AMG variants. I know AMG seats exist, but they didn't look special to me other than the tags, so I don't know if this car has them. The headlight lenses are smoke tinted, but I'm guessing that's an aftermarket mod. The dashboard all looks standard.

Is this a E Class sub-model, or just an E-Class that the previous owner slightly modified?

Sounds like an E 500 with AMG wheels. E 500 was the model for 2003 to 2006. In 2007 it became the E 550. Unlike the W124 500E / E 500 it didn't have a Porsche-tuned engine.

So you saw a W211 with some AMG wheels on it? What's so confusing about that?

My W210 wagon would blow your mind! It's got E55 wheels, the steering wheel from an E55 and even sun visors from one! It's still just an E320.
