Sounds like you got a car that had a stand alone CD changer added. It also sounds like you got a Sport model and somewhere along the line the 18" rims and tires that are a part of the Sport package got changed out. I wish you would have gotten the 18" wheels as you should have if it has the Sport emblem on the lower planks. The 18" AMG rims are very expensive as a single add on.

The example B is the sport package....... see the AMG body kit and wheel.....

didnt get the real sport package
Apparently some past owner was doing a "fake out". the car has no amg body kits, no xenon lights just sport badges on lower side panel and a six cd changer in the trunk. Being new to this forum I really appreciate all the expert input from you "ALL" as we say it texas. didnt do to bad on puchase shes's black exterior, gray interior, perfect shape except she needs engine and trans. mounts. paid $16,700 cash. 71,000 miles.....
