Great AMG Custom Info

For those who have not stumbled upon it, there's a great AMG owners website with excellent detailed info about a variety of issues, including customization options, etc.

Unfortunately those options are only applicable in Germany and Europe. We'll never see them here, MBenzNA won't do that level of customization. For that you'd need to go to Kleeman or Brabus.
