I know I know, everyone has an opinion, but guess what. I paid 73,000 for for E 500 w/ AMG Sport Pkg and if I want to put DON JUAN DEMARCO on the back then I will. could have bought an E55, just didnt want one.
I will heck with the E55 guys
Thanks

Not trying to be a smart ***, but just curious why you "didn't want an E55".
1. AMG models have only aluminum interior trimming
2. No wooden steering wheel on AMG models
2 months after I got my car I saw an E55 their with all wooden interior. I was upset. No wooden steering wheel though but I found out later their are some good aftermarket stuff for that.
Next car will be a SL55 hopefully in the next 2-3 years. But I'm driving this E500 till the wheels fall off...

2) Any wooden steering wheel for a W211 will work, just no shift buttons

It looks good..
You can actually order the E500 with the brown wood. There is an option number for that.
Also, the wood wheel is also an option I have seen in the order book as well on the AMG.
Aluminum interior.. I have never heard of that.

No offense, but take this from a guy who wants both luxury and power...I HATE people making thei 330's and ///M...or their everyday car and AMG.
I understand you left the E500 there..and its your choice to put the badge on there. But If i see that on the road, im gonna laugh for about 5 minutes straight bc I think you want attention for something you really dont have. AMG is an entire package..not just bc you have some aero kit that came with the car..
But again, your call.
Your concerns are all irrelavant too. The only AMG that came with aluminum was the C32..that line. An E55, S55, etc. come with the Black birds eye maple. You want the "brown wood"? People have been able to order their E55's with the burl wood, so that is also an invalid reason. You want a wood steering wheel with your E55? There are SEVERAL aftermarket options for that.
If you do or dont have themoney to buy the car, is not my business...just want to make sure you knew the REAL facts before jumping to the wrong conclusions. But I guess I was too late to help you.

I've seen an SL600 with an AMG badge. Would you laugh at him? Obviously money is not an option for him. I've seen many CL500 with the AMG badge. I dont want to get in a pissing contest. i stated my reason and even though i was misinformed, i cant do anything about it now. I'm sure i remember saying i saw a E55 with all wood at the dealership and asking them why I couldnt have gotten that.
I'm not trying to say I have an AMG engined car. Obviously any idiot who sees the E500 will know that.
Why can someone get a Brabus kit and put Brabus on their car or even RennTech, but an AMG kit doesnt deserve the same thing?
Thats why we live in this great country of ours. we can do what we want to do. As I said before if I wanted to put DON JUAN DEMARCO on the back it would be my perogative. Man do i hate negativity.
My next car will be an SL55 or SL600 hopefully if the stock market makes some nice runs in the next few years. What nice about the SL55 that no other model has is the fact they give you so many wood option with the AMG model. If i got an SL600 w/ AMG Sport Package would i put an AMG badge on the back. HELL YEAH.
Respect your opinion though. But o well.
