This is a story of two happy owners who went to Germany to pick their brand new MB E55 AMGs from the factory.

The new E55 AMG...

Now where did I park my MB AMG? Fairly impressive parking lot. :bigeyes:

Mercedes AMG CLK GTR Roadster! If I'm correct there are only 5 of these cars in the world so this is probably as close as you'll ever get.
0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h.

Straight from the factory trying to find some new tuning

and Brabus :cool2:

They tried one of the brand new E55 AMGs against the Brabus on Autobahn and the Brabus lost.
The Brabus has a little more to give in the lower register but otherwise it lost.
The Brabus sales person is still to explain what happened.
There were no problems with the Brabus car.
So before you buy all the marketing stuff do your own trials
and see for yourself before you pay 17.000 Euro.

i think i figured out the REAL reason why their faces and clothing
are blurred out. they're high ranking BMW employees on their
lunch break:hihi:

The reason why I deleted faces and license plates is because the pictures were handed to me and I didn't want to upset anyone but still publish the pictures.

I'm camera shy so I treat others the same way. :D
Better safe than sorry.
