"Aufrecht, Melcher, Grossaspach"
It was Hans-Werner Aufrecht (A) and Erhard Melcher (M) who founded AMG in 1967. The city of Grossaspach (G), the birth place of Aufrecht served as the letter G. The city in which AMG was founded was actually Burgstall an der Murr and in 1976 the company moved to Affalterbach (located just a little north of Stuttgart, Germany) where it still is today.
and poor BMW must have only had one engineer to build their M cars

Like I said, search. Not blaming you for the bans, just saying I don't get why you can post stupid **** all day long and its fine and dandy. I'm happy you like your car and are excited, but seriously its all been covered. So please, Stfu and search before starting your pointless threads, or go post in the thread made just for you.

Sorry guys, I don't know why you guys always find stu@@@ in Toadster's posts. I myself did not know what AMG was for (at least I did not do any research on this) till now. Maybe I am one of the stu@@@ people.
Thank Toadster!
Thank Toadster!

this gets ridiculous. People like Toadster make this forum looks like ****! This section is made to Discuss the W211 AMG's such as the E55 and the E63. Take your stupid threads to off-topic section, that you can post whoring as much as you want, 99% of your stuff don't belong in w211 section!

I AM discussing the history of AMG, sure it may not be related to races in Mexico, or the size of your crank pulley - but there's a lot more to these cars than street racing...

edit: Okay I just realized he opened up a thread from 2004 (why?), but still you guys need to relax. It's getting annoying to go into a thread and read through 3 pages of bashing.

I love how members always assume things without the facts. Maybe there should have been moderator post to inform that he merged Toadsters thread to this but its not required.
