SLK350 AMG spotted

I spotted a silver SLK350 in Toronto with AMG badges and license plate SMOOTH55. Someone here? Are AMG badges now part of the AMG package?

Anyways it was funny seeing a BMW 3-series slow down in the middle of traffic to take a look while causing cars behind to slam their brakes.

Hey Nolek:

That was my car you saw.

For those who are wondering the 55 in my license plate stands for my birthday, May 5.

I had the plate before I got this car and it has no relation with the engine.

sl and M-class E320 4Matic SLK350
If you pay 4000 plus for AMG styling you might as well pay $40 for the badge too

Ricky is right. When I visited the Mercedes Dealer in Vancouver several years ago all of the SL500's with the AMG styling kit option had AMG badges on their rear decks. If I recall correctly they came that way and were not added by the dealer.

Northbenz:

I wish the AMG package only costs around $4k. Here in Canada the package costs you almost $9K CND.

Gets you:

Full amg kit
AMG rims
sports suspension
shifters on the steering wheel

It's a damn ripoff but the car looks so much more agressive, I feel it really completes the car.

Yeah, the sports suspension comes with the AMG Package.

I know in the US and some other countries you can opt for just the sports suspension.
