The "Aufrecht" being Hans-Werner Aufrecht (former engineer that founded AMG), the "Melcher" being his partner, Erhard Melcher and "Grossaspach" being the German town where Aufrecht was born.

Save that one for Jeopardy!

What does AMG stand for?

"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

I'm usually pretty chill on forums but WTF is wrong with you? Were dropped or get into lead paint as a child?

Or are you just starting inane threads to maintain your 'image'?

actually - just learned it, and the site I found it on had a survey and 20% of the people didn't actually know what AMG stood for...

just some education on the reason our cars exist (and these forums as well)

but I like everyone's humor

How does numerous Bull**** threads made by an imbecile not constitute to even a warning, yet the O.G's and those who have pioneered technology and development of the 55k platform get cited and banned? Absolutely ridiculous.

Toadster: please, STFU. Takes 30 and search, I'm pretty sure if AMG was founded in 1967 someone marvelous genius would have bothered to figure out what it meant.

Man...I must be old. That was a throwback to 1991. 'B*tch betta....' was a song by rapper AMG, which standed for A Million Girls.

I searched and shared, isn't that what forums are for?
if we all just kept to ourselves, this would be an empty forum...

I never wanted the OG's to be banned, wasn't even my issue - so don't think it was me
if you aren't excited about your car, then don't complain either.

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.

Toadster is one of the funniest trolls I have seen in a long time. Everything about that guy facking sucks. Retarded posts, stupid *** signature referencing Mercedes Vs. BMW and a sig pic that's garbage. No one is this stupid. You all just take the bait and the troll keeps trollin'.
