Best regards, south
It's a fake!

AMG badge on the boot lid is always on the right.

His is on the left

It's a good job you are here to provide these documentation because I am always on the lookout to see if my offspring abandon their MINI's to borrow my car or my wife's.

That is why every Sophisto Grey 7er you photograph makes me suspicious.

Dam you have a 7-series??

And your Wife drives it?

And in Sophisto Grey?

And with 22" rims??

No wonder they would ditch there Minis for the 7-er

Remember Scott I'm still up for adoption

It's definitely an AMG. The last two photos showing the car disappearing were filled with the unmistakable sound of a 6.2-l V8 growling. No S450/S550 with exhaust tuning could do that.

Badges can be removed and shuffled around. All you need is some hot water (steam bath) and a thin rope. Slide the rope underneath the badges after the hot steam has softened up the glue and remove the badges.

Saw this on TV once.

The thing that gave it away is the front brakes, that S-class doesn't have the standard dual caliper front brakes from those proper AMG versions. So this has to be a S 500.

Yes, it's just an S500 with the AMG package, S65 exhausts, "6.3 AMG badge" and S63's wheels.

You could tell just from the brakes, let alone the AMG package front bumper. The S63's front bumper has vents on the side, which this one doesn't.

Noooooooooooo! It sounded like a genuine AMG! He even hammered it when he sped away and that engine sound was marvelous! I can't imagine a tuned S500 being capable of producing such sounds, even with a different exhaust system fitted to it!

If the engine sounded right, is it possible that this was a stolen/recovered car that was stripped for genuine AMG exterior parts and fitted with other parts? This has happened before if done by someone less than knowledgeable.
