Cool AMG Brochure/Book

If you order the AMG brochure via the UK Merc website you will be sent a very nicely put together black hardback book that has all of the current AMG models in it..... including the SLK55 AMG.

Yeah, it's really too bad that there are so many goodies that don't make it to the US.

It says where right ont the DVD But in all seriousness, I believe that this is supposed to be available at most any European dealer. It is however, a PAL DVD, so keep that in mind.

Oh and it's actually a more general AMG DVD rather than just an SLK55 DVD, The SLK's the "cover model" for this, the 5th Edition of the DVD.

Here are some shots of the contents:

I can't see where you order an AMG brochure - it's not in the list of things on the brochure request page, or on the AMG pages. Could you be more specific?

Well it looks like the AMG DVD isn't available in the UK yet (we are in the PAL region) as none of the Merc dealerships or central customer helplines knew anything about it.

I did eventually manage to get hold of a very helpful guy in MB marketing department so he is looking into it for me.

If anyone in the UK knows where/how to get hold of a copy let me know!

I've just received my copy of the PAL DVD featuring the SLK55 on the cover. I asked my dealer to get hold of one for me - seems the least they can do since I've got a car on order. They didn't even know the DVD existed until I asked for it (why do MB make these DVDs if they don't reach the dealers?). However, they eventually managed to source one from Germany and it arrived today so I'm looking forward to watching it later.

Question on catalogues

What does the AMG collection catalogue contain? Does it contain merchandising and all that? because if it is like that ,it does not have to do with AMG cars so I do not order it. By the way I am a motoring journalist in a very small island called Malta which is situated in Europe near Italy but is independent from Italy. I own a Mercedes-Benz SL350 . I didn`t knew about all those catalogues. When I ordered they always sent me the AMG catalogue that features all the AMG cars and the AMG optional extras and accessories catalogue. Does the DVD has a name or something so I can order it as well?
And to conclude... does anyone of you has any contacts with Mercedes-Benz dealers there in the United States because I would be more than delighted if someone can send me for example the latest sales brochures of the CLK coupe , E-class and SLK . Here in Malta there is a dealer but does not have the latest ones. I am always searching for new brochures of Mercedes-Benz . You are also from Europe SLK55AMG . If you can help me regarding brochures of Mercedes-Benz (not AMG catalogues because I have already) SLK55AMG just tell me.

I thank you very much for these interesting comments and well organised forums. Keep it up.

regards
Ivan Grima

Sorry, I really don't think I could sell copies of the DVD. I'd be more than willing to share the DVD if you're ever in the bay area, CA area, but that's about as far as I think I want to go with it. However, if I come upon more of the DVDs, I'll try and put them up for sale.

Well then, how about getting reimbursed for the blank disc and for shipping and handling? Send it to two requestors and ask them to do the same.

There is no part number on either the DVD or the packaging. The DVD has 'Edition V' printed on it, but that's it. I haven't got the book to hand at the moment.
