Fake S55
Saw this imposter in an S430/S500 posing as an AMG. Note where the badge was placed.

Saw an E420 AMG today as well, LOL. Will the poseurs never stop?

Didn't get a chance to take a picture of it.

Some people don't even need to pose out. Just yesterday I saw a 03+(twin turbo engine) S600 with a 4matic badge AND the bolt on quad exhaust.

As far as I know MB didn't even manufacture 4matic for the V12's

The good thing about cars like that is my M3 likes to munch them up on the highways. 272bhp doesn't quite propel the barge like a compressed 493!
