LOL... I thought the same thing back in Aug of 2010 when I was lowering my 2010 E63. I figured Monroe gave them an offer they couldnt refuse in regards to mass production. And my E63 2010 was not a PP car. So Monroe is doing the normal AMG shocks and must be revalving the PP shocks.

IDK really.... we dont know what AMG and MBZ did with Monroe in regards to rates and expectations. All I know is my PP suspension is very good.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
I haven't had the chance to be under the car but I'm now afraid to look. If it is Monroe for the P30, I'm sure for the non-P30, it ain't gonna be things like Bilstein, KYB, Koni, or Tokico. It might even be stamped "Midas-made in PRC."
