I am new to the Mercedes family I recently bought a 2003 slk320. But I'm confused there are amg Emblems on the trunk and on the side front fenders my question is is it a true AMG or not an AMG everywhere I looked seems to tell me it is not the only AMG that I can find is an slk32 so my question is.Is it a AMG or not an AMG?:confused: any information on how to find out whether it is or isn't

The true AMG in SLK is the SLK 32 made from 2001 - 2004
and the SLK 55 AMG made from 2004/5 through current year

Mercedes sells packages like AMG sport package, etc to get extra money from customers
and then 'badges' the car because of that extra feature

Get your free datacard to see what you have

now if you do not have the package then the previous owner made your car a poser

For example, I have a 1999 SLK230 that is badged as an AGM. Has the decal, AMG on the steering wheel, on the coin tray......but not under the hood. :-(
They sold cars with AMG body kits as well so yours could have this body kit so the logos are on it now
I got my free data card it shows that my car was sold with the AMG sport package so if I understand it right I have one that looks like one but under the hood it isn't one

check your brochure for more info

you have amg side skirts and spoiler
you get to keep your AMG badges :D

yes, there is nothing under the hood. only the slk 32 and slk 55 are true amg hand built engines
So would I be wrong then to say I have a AMG or should I say I have a look alike :wink:
Technically yes
You do not have an Amg
That would denote an Amg engine etc
Don't say anything
If someone asks
You have the Amg package
Spoiler
Side skirts
That is all
And save your $ for the real thing :D
Ok thank you for all your help.
