Question E55 Owners - Your Opinion Please...

I saw an E430 Sport today with AMG Wheels (Monoblock II) and all the standard AMG body trim that comes on that car - this car's owner had made no modifications except for the addition of the ////AMG badge on the right side of the trunk. So, please weigh in now with your opinion - legitimate move or not?

I don't quite understand if you mean that he had the ///AMG logo or not, but either way, I think its fine. I HATE posers but there is one exception. When a vehicle like that has a significant amount of AMG bodywork done to it such as the AMG sport package from the dealer, I think its ok to add the ///AMG badges EXCEPT if you change the class logo from E320 or E500 to E55. THAT is just rediculous. BTW that car is out? I'm thinking of the new sport edition of the E class for 2005 with the (sadly) M3 looking wheels...this is the one you are talking about?

I concur with the above.
