Limited Slip
Considering buying a 2005 E55 ... owner claims that it has an AMG Limited slip , can this be correct ? I thought none of the AMG LSD were available on that year from MB ? Am I wrong , and how should I check ?

Honestly, he's probably doing the "well I did a burnout and both tires lit up" mistake.
It's an honest mistake, people don't get how the AMG rear works. Lots different than a 69 camaro.

Guys, Mine came with LSD as an option from factory.
it was part of the performance pack and the data card shows 099 code, its listed in the E55 brochure also.
I spoke to the original owner and he had to wait an extra 4 weeks as the car had to go to another AMG plant to have the LSD fitted, then returned to the plant to complete install.
i`ll try and dig out the AMG options brochure as i have the paper copy, heres a link to the standard brochure

Well this is interesting , the original owner is trying to prove to me that it came with it ! and I am debating it with him ! I called MB gave them the VIN , and I got someone saying those cars never came with LSD ...I guess I have to get the original Build sheet to see if it is listed there
