That is *exactly* the point. You wrote the following:
So, I wrote, correctly, that in head-to-head runs, chipped 335is have (at least according to the owners; haven't seen the vids yet) beaten the new M3s. I did NOT say it "was all about straightline speed", or anything of the sort.

Amir,
Come on bro. I know, you know, we all know what is posing... and if the dealership put the badge on, they're simply in the wrong.
PS, What is Mashang? I can't figure it out.

Alright fine. I agree. But it's not AS bad as an E63 badge.
I never knew the stupid dealer did that to make a buck. I mean ish i though it was somewhat stupid but did not have such a strong hate like some owners did. Maybe when i pickup my C63 i will understand. I have NOOO clue what Mashang means man....

2007 E63
I have a (real) E63 also and although I laugh at cars like the "C32" I saw last week I don't have the superiority complex I am getting hints of in this thread.
A humorous observation.. A number of my coworkers have high line/muscle cars (Porsche, Lamborghini, Shelby Mustang, Z06 Vette) and they always like to point out something like an E63 is a "**** and *****" car because the casual car lover doesn't recognize what a 55, 63, etc., only the limited number of guys plugged into AMG Mercedes.

2) From what I've been told, the CLK430 is the only non-AMG that came with factory AMG badging in the US. Therefore, the CLK430 is an exception. That's how it is here, overseas MB may badge cars differently.
As a side note, BMW offers an M package for their X3 which comes with the exterior M badge. IMO, it's a bad move... but who am I to say what's right.

CLS55 AMG
The AMG line is a separate model line from regular Mercedes cars. They have hand built engines, different brakes, suspension, etc. etc. etc., and their numbers for engine displacement are ALWAYS designated with two digits (CLK55, CLK63, S65, etc.) to differentiate them from the NON-AMG models, which use three digits (CLK430, S550, SL600, etc.).
If your CLK430 had an AMG badge on the rear decklid when new, the dealer put it on. Simple as that.

Hey Americanmade,
Just wondering, did your brother buy his SL pre-owned?
I'm wondering if it was the previous owner and not the dealer that posed it out.
I wonder if I'm posing? I've added the AMG exhaust to my E500. OH, But I didn't add the AMG badge, nevermind. I did, however, remove the E500 badge. I'm sure people think its and E320 now. I guess I'm reverse-posing?
Tell your brother to drop the AMG badge and be proud of his SL.

So are you saying when I bought my CLK430 I should have told the dealer to take the AMG badge off that was installed in Germany?
I have a (real) E63 also and although I laugh at cars like the "C32" I saw last week I don't have the superiority complex I am getting hints of in this thread.

Did you also know that there is a C36 AMG and a C43 AMG.. do you laugh at those a well?
And lastly.. Did your dealer tell you the AMG badge was added in Germany, did you order your car from Germany, or do you just assume it was added in Germany? I am calling
and saying the dealer added it.

Ok.. so either you don't know there actually is a C32 AMG or you really do have a superiority complex.. Which is it?

My brother picked up his SL brand-new. I'm guessing the dealership put the AMG badge on. My brother is proud of his SL, last i saw the badge was gone. If he wanted an AMG car he would have picked up a E55/C55, be he does not care about speed like most of us
. About your E500....i think it looks clean with no badge...and who cares if people think it's a E320? You konw it's not.

Where do you live? If you live anywhere near OC i can show you dealers who put AMG badges on the car. And answer this....if the dealer did not put a AMG badge on a brand new SL then who did?.....He pulled it out of the dealer with the AMG badge.

DirtyVegasMB: Amen...where do I sign up to get the last five minutes of my life back.
To those that have appointed themselves "Defender of All-things AMG", I applaud your zeal, but I think some day you'll look back on your laborious posts here and feel a little embarassed for yourselves. Lord knows, I'm a little embarassed for you.
Does someone you don't know putting a five x two inch badge on his car really get you guys this worked up? While I agree that it's probably not in good taste to AMG badge your car I'm pretty far from getting foamed-up at the mouth about it as many of you all seem to.
But then again, as an SL owner, I'm automatically genetically superior, far wealthier and a bona-fide car enthusiast than all C, E, CLK, SLK and ML owners But this thread has been entertaining in that it's a peek at what the little-people fight about.
P.S. I was down at MBSD the other day, and I saw not one but two non-AMG cars sporting an AMG badge, so y'all better grab your torches and pitchforks and head down there before the perps get away !

Actually I never spend this much time on the site, it's just been fun making you look silly. I have my own company which allows me to do whatever whenever I want. Maybe if you learn to read, write and spell you will be so lucky some day. LOL
I'll give Rob over at MBSD a call tomorrow. I need to check into the C63 order status anyway.

You seriously got some confidence issues at hand.
Concerning the AMG thing, we realize that AMG doesn't make parts. It doesn't matter. When they have parts made and put their name on it, they own it. It's theirs. It's AMG.
And relax. If smoiking someone on the road is the only that thing makes you happy, you probably don't have much to live for. Now go play with your iphone.
