AMG to me is the hand built engine.
the body panels and the wheels are
cosmetic. the true difference is what's
under the hood. all MB's are great!!!!

Don't be absurd!
Aside from S Class owners nobody really cares if it says S500 or AMG.
They already think we are vain for spending 90K on a car that loses value like Enron stock. So why bother

hi ericktu,
i sold my S55 last year and replaced it with an M5.
sold the M5 a couple of weeks ago(soon to be wife
can't drive a stick) so i am currently
car less. i am searching though
i have an E500 on order
that is supposed to arrive in july as an 05. i ordered it
with the AMG sport package to give it a little bit of a sportier
look. also my local dealer has
a CL500 that has been sitting on the lot for a couple of months
that's been catching my eye!
i have photos of both but i've never been succesful

My favorite (of course) S500 but I do like style of older 5-Series as well

thanks dmi+ry,
i miss both cars but the one
good thing about being a car nut
is that they keep making better and
better cars. sometimes i think
shopping for a new car is just as much
fun as having one in the garage......i know.....i need therapy!!!

Thing with the badge, it looks soo ugly when a person figures out when the car is a fake. Today, I saw a regular S500 or 430 , thought nothing of it, just looked away, then it passed, had a 55 and the badge, with only 2 exhaust instead of the usual 4, and didn't ahve the v8 kompressor sign on the back, I think, what a loser. At school, theres a S430, with the 55 and the badge, the guy doesn't even bother to get the sport package nor get some after market exhausts. In my opinion, if you put a badge on a 500 or something, but changed it to 55, and the ///AMG, I get this idea that either this guy is a loser who is trying to get some girls, or he is a moron, trying to make his car look mean.

2001 S500 w/ sport package
Why not? By putting an AMG badge on your car if you do have the sport package you aren't false advertising. You do have the authentic AMG wheels and bodykit. As long as you let people know its a S500 or S430 not an S55 by keeping the model badge on I think it's okay. I have a 2001 S500 Sport and I do have an AMG badge for it, but in no way do I intend to convince of false advertise that my car is a S55.

2001 S500 w/ sport package
G-Unit,
I don't think it's right to put a M3 badge on a 330Ci with a sport package. The reason being that the M3 specifies a certain model the BMW M3 which is a totally different car. But in this case that wouldn't apply because the model of the car is 'S55' not '///AMG'
In my case, eveyone can clearly tell that my car isn't a S55 but a S500.

As I said before..
