2000 C230k sport (sold), 1999 c43 Amg, 1997 C280 sport sold) 1996 C36 Amg, 2001 E55 Amg
A hand built v8 
, brembo 4 pots upfront, 18 inch wheels, dual exhaust pipes at the back, different front and rear bumpers, I think the transmission has Amg “speed shift” which is like 20-30% quicker then a normal 722.6. someone chime in I’m missing a few things. Not sure if it’s just me but I’ve been in an ml55 and test drove it,just felt built a little better then a non Amg ML I’ve been in.

W163 ML500 w/Kleeman headers (gone but not forgotten); R63
Fuel tank is also slightly larger, about 2.5 gallons. That is why the spare is inside the rear instead of underneath.
