It's Been A Couple of Years...Quiz Time

Hello Guys,

It has been a couple of years since I have posted, time to jump back in and not only be a leach of the wealth of information all of you provide. I will do my best to be a valuable contributer moving forward. Thanks in advance for welcoming me back in.

Figured I would start out with a quick, fun quiz. I have attached a picture. Can you name all three cars - model specific? I expect many of you will. In the rare chance no one does, I will take a different, more telling picture tomorrow.

Lastly, one of them is a lease turn-in later this summer. If anyone is interested in it, you can buy for the residual amount (may be a couple thousand below market prices). Let's figure out what they are first!

Nice to be back - AMG > Porsche

I'll take a shot; left to right

C230 Sedan Kompressor w/sport package (maybe a C320), ML 550 and I think E55, however it might be a E63, I can't see the headlight trim or wheels well enough to tell.


If, I'm way off go easy on me.............

Close on all accounts.

Furthest away on the first one (all the way to the left). I think the tire size through you off on the ML (another hint - it is the wifes!). E55 or E63???

I 'll give others a shot, will let you know soon.

Not sure what trim the C and ML are, but thats no E55, I have one so I know the front end is not as aggressive as that E63 you got there (unless its one of those tricky amg kitted E's, which is possible b/c I cant see the wheels well enough to tell).

Nice collection.

+1, I'd say C55, ML350(could be a 320) and E63(could be a E350550 Sport Package)

Assuming these are unmodified for the most part, that should be an E63. The Sport package 350/550s have a different body kit. Him posting in the W211 AMG section makes me suspect it's an E63 as well.

The ML could be either an 350 or a 320 as you said. It's not a 500 because those have stainless steel brush guards or whatever in the lower bumper. It's not a 550 because those have the sport package standard.

The C is the 55 because of the CLK front end. It'd be hard to retrofit the entire C55 front end on a normal C, iirc.

Not good at guessing, but maybe throwing a little "light" on the subject will help?

No, C230K had the C32 front ends. The coupe has a different front end for the most part.

THE ANSWER!

Great Job Everyone.

Answer: 2005 C55, 2008 ML350, 2007 E63

The following got it correct:

lauer87
AsianML
Rennstage
MJ50
blackbenzz
ZOINK

With a special shout out to:

ZOINK, BLACKBENZZ & RENNSTAGE - For nailing it without question.

At the end of the day, everyone was very close - well done.

JRCART - Thanks for getting things going.

Chargin55 - You win for funniest response. Fact is C55 is mine (lease turn-in in 2 months), E63 - mine- replacing the C55 and ML350 is the wifes.

theeddie - sounds like you may be in law enforcement.

Dan

That was kind of fun..It made me think, and I don't do that all that often LOL!

Maybe you should hold a weekly quiz, maybe go out to you garage and snap a close up pic of some random part on a car and see who can guess what it is, with this crew I'm sure someone will be able to not only respond with the correct answer, but they could probably furnish you with a part number as well.


Take care...................................
