I saw a Mercedes C230 today; the guy took of "0" and put an AMG badge on it, so it is a "C23 AMG". Worse was that he tried to race me with my M5.

SirTravis is infamous around these parts

My favorite had to be a dealer S600 MB that passed me with an AMG badge, keep in mind this is pre 65 models, so he was in fact lowering the value of the car...and this was a dealer

I saw the same thing at Arizona State a few years back. Sad.

Body kits, wheels, etc to upgrade appearance - OK
Emblem Changes to make your car appear like something it isnt - BAD

I dont know man those C23 AMG are 1.8Kompressor(SC), they might just take a "M5" (525i with M5 Badge) if launched right.

Hahahha those are so gay but the exterior looks really much more agresive and sporty than it really is. i test drove one and the engine sounds like a briggs and Stratton, I complained about it, the salesman and he said it was a Kompressor, then I replied yeah because without a supercharger this car would not be abloe to hit 80 with this engine, he just laughed and said yeah these cars are POS, only time Ive made a Car salesman accept heses trying to sell me trash
