    AMG Factory Modifications.

    RC,

    Here is a question and hypothetical situation for you...

    Suppose I had just special ordered a C32 AMG Sportscoupe (European Spec). What could I add to it from the special wishes department of AMG?

    - LS Differential?
    - ECU modifications to the Transmission?
    - "Nurburgring" Suspension Upgrade (What is this by the way? - I have heard your wife's SLK32 AMG has it on it.)
    - Wheels?
    - Special Exterior Paint?
    - Special Interior Leather Colors and Trim (Aluminum, Carbon)
    - Did I miss anything?

    Lastly, how much (EUROs) would this car cost and how much are the mods usually. The reason I am asking is that I just want to blow my mind about all the wonderful things you people in Europe are able to do to your AMG Mercedes that we Americans can only drool about! I hope that one day we can pressure Mercedes into allowing all special AMG cars and modifications to be allowed for the US market.

    If you haven't noticed by now...I have fallen in love with the C32 AMG Sportscoupe. I only wish there was more pictures available on the Mercedes AMG website to enjoy. They only have one or two pictures but are of obscured angles. Also, I wish they would release some kind of literautre about this car as well. Would make great reading (or is that dreaming )!

    Re: AMG Factory Modifications.

    Robbie, as far as I know, neither the LS Diff. nor any ECU tranny mods or Suspension upgrade is available for the C 32 Sports Coupe.
    There are 18'' available (those on the pictures) and painting/interior stuff can be chosen from the AMG Manufaktur (almost anything should be possible).

    The C 32 AMG Sports Coupe is actually a pretty seldom car over here. I have to admit that I never saw one on the street.
    It is not part of AMG's official car program through DC but it is a special order AMG item made on command.

    My wife's SLK 32 AMG does not have the Nuerburgring Suspension kit from AMG because I didn't find the time to bring the car to AMG.
    I might do that as soon as I bring my E55 for the limited slip diff. install but probably not before october.
    My wife is not very happy about it and I might even re-consider my decision to get her the Nuerburgring suspension for her SLK because it is actually something I wanted for this car because I drive it too.

    Here are three pictures of the C 32 AMG Sports Coupe, I'm sorry I don't have more at this time.
