They make an everything AMG in the US market now exept for the GL450.
Have really watered down the AMG brand.

God yeah... I went to South Africa last month, and every Merc was AMG... Just didn't seem to see the C-Class. SLK, CLK, CLS, S, everything... Goodness... Best AMG is still that G-Wagon AMG, so cooool! :lol:

Saw a red 550 today in rain, what a beauty. Guy was shifting from 2nd to 3rd I guess, glorious sound. Love that car.
Sorry, no pics.

i saw this m3 at school today and thought it was a csl (it had the words to the left of the m3 logo).
when i got closer, i saw it said bhs instead of csl (also the csl is usually on the right of the m3). like this:
anybody know what this is?

you can kinda see the hood scoops or intakes near the bottom of the hood that a normal m3 doesnt have.

This could be totally wrong, but one of the things that showed up during a search was Bavarian Hyper Sports, which appears to be based in Texas. Are you located in/near Texas?

Well, those look like CSL rims.
But isn't the CSL supposed to have a carbon fiber roof?

M3 CSL has glass panaromic roof, not Carbon Fiber. And those rims are probably 18" and not original BBS 19 inchers.omarmakki said:
It's definately not a CSL. Infact, NO CSL made it to North America. They're not street legal here. Same goes with CLK DTM AMG.
But I've heard there are a few DTM AMGs in U.S.

Didn't know about the panoramic roof. But comparing the rims to the photo you posted, I can tell that the rims were smaller...
BTW, I'm just curious... But why aren't the CSL and the CLK DTM street legal in NA?

Eh? The CSL did indeed have a carbon-fibre roof.

The CSL is 110 kg lighter than a normal M3.
A glass pano roof would have been completely against the idea of the CSL, as the L in CSL stands for Leichtbau (lightweight construction), e. g. the trunk floor is made of cardboard, the bonnet is made of aluminium and the rear window is thinner than in a M3. And obviously they put a carbon fibre roof on it, which weighs 6 kg less than the normal roof and lowers the car's center of gravity.

The CSL isn't legal probably because of those tires (semislick), dunno why about the DTM.
