2006 SL55 with 030 Performance Package
I bought it 06 SL55 With 030 Performance Package

Its a 2006 SL55 with the 030 Performance Package Siver /Black Charcoal Leather,Pano Roof,Keyless Go,Vent Seats,Bi-Xenon Lights,and Sat Radio.

Drove it home Saturday its great only 1,250 miles on its seems showroom new. Feels faster and louder than my 2003 SL55 was, but maybe its just my imagination!

Also under the AMG logo it says in small print "Competitve Edition" is this normal for 030 Performance Package cars to say this?

AMGBenz, do you have more pictures of your front landscaping and fountain?
I'm hoarding details on lots of members front yards who have fountains. On the next house I build I'm going to make sure I have a fountain

The car looks fantastic!!! Love the ride!

Have never seen the label on any other AMG. The letters don't look the same size????? Looks like a dealer added thing, I would take it off but that is just my .02.

I have been know to be a bit of an AMG purist

Great ride!

Great looking car!

I'm so torn between getting a 55 w/ the 030 in black or silver and your photos just made my decision all the more harder.
