sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
Apple didn't fall far from the tree
If it's any consolation, it looks like that SLK55 is from a location near the factory in Sindelfingen and likely a "test" vehicle being driven by a Mercedes VIP. In Europe the first letters on the license plate appear to relate to where the car is registered. Just checked photos of various cars from recent European Delivery travels and note that in Munich most of the cars started with a M. In Sindelfingen the first letters were BB. Maybe one of our European posters can enlighten us further as to what the BB abbreviation stands for and how large an area it encompasses.
(By the way both of my recent Euro delivery cars' license plates also started with BB as they were registered at the factory location in Sindelfingen.)

u mean triplets.. .look at the guy at the back 
man i want one so bad now.. deciding between SLK350 and 55.
If the SLK350 does 0-60 in 5.5 secs is the extra worth getting the SLK55?
I could just slap on a brabus or carlsson kit on...

but the 350 is not an AMG, with not the nice bodywork, 4exhaust, wheels and the awsome V8 + sound.
i think the SLK 350 will rock also, but the V8 even more.

Im already deciding between Carlsson or Brabus bodykits for it to spice it up.
