Difference betweeen AMG Line and no AMG line ?
Hello. I want to buy a s450 w222 and the first thing I will do is upgrade the body with the s63 package, and change the steering wheel to the AMG one.
Does the stock AMG line have the AMG steering wheel already installed or it s available only on s63/s65?
Are there any compatibility problems?
Is the suspension stiffer or the same as on the normal S?
Any other important differences between the lines?
I want a smooth ride but with the look of the s63. The front bumper is just too criminal.
thank you for your time

If you're going to buy a used W222 and upgrade the body why not just look for an actual AMG? You won't be disappointed with the extra power

True the upkeep will be a little more expensive, but balance that out with happiness/performance and I think you'd be pleased.

Europe.
Basically the full exterior upgrade with the desired colour will cost me 5k.
Steering wheel about 3k I suspect.
A set of 20 or 21” forged wheels about 5-7k.
Total - 13-15k upgrades, plus 60k for 2020(w222)
s450 , at 40-60k km (35-50k)miles.
75k euros total cost, 82k USD.
The w223 go for 110k usd with high mileage, 120k usd under 50k miles here in Europe.
Still not decided about air vents; I have to see them live on another car.

You can get a nice 2018-2019 S63 here in the states for 80-90K. Not sure what the situation is where you live but for a few grand more I would take a 2018-2019 all day over a 2020 S450. My 2019 has been trouble free and a blast to drive. Why pose when you can have the real thing. And Benz Ninja can program the suspension however you want.
