besides the AMG-sign, what shows this is the AMG version? i never can tell wether it's a 350, 500 or 55 AMG

This car is a SL500 with a performance package which almost makes it look like one.

Typically the differences are,

AMG- side skirts as seen in that car, AMG logo, 2 dual exhaust pipes (4, two on each side), front spoiler and "V8 Kompressor" above the front side air vent

500, 350, subtle side skirts, dual pipes (2, one on each side), nothing above the front side air vent, front and rear bumbers have no subtle sporty shape (smoother and flat as oppose to the bumbs you see o the AMG rear bumber, and no splitter in the fron air vent of the front spoiler).

If you knew that you would be able to tell a SL500 from a SL55 from a SL500, 350 with a sport package. The sport package has a few things foudn on a AMG version but not all.
 
I've meant to post this Beetle before, but just today I've had a chance to take photos of it. It's one of the most beautiful Beetles out there, from that period, IMO ..

Stunning! But not a fan of those eyelashes though, the rest of the car looks nice, was the paint shiny or really matt (sp?)

Why would you stick an M badge on the back of your 850i ????

May it be that he has an M gearknob or something? Either who ... I'd never do it ...

we've been wondering the same this weekend, also came across one that had an M badge on the back

we even took it a little further....
what type of person, that can afford an 8 series, would bother adding M badges?
(but the car we saw was in the middle of the hooker-area, it had to be a pimp who drove that car)

My question exactly ... you have proven the point of being rich when owning an 850i, so why bother with the stupid M badge? Doesn't prove or point anything!!!

That makes more sense tho ... and it also makes sense when a drug dealer sticks a few m badges on his 316i ...

In my town, the russian community digs on the 8 series cars (which plays along with the pimp, drug dealer, playa', and gangsta' theory) and I have seen a few with M badges, I think they are ment purely to confuse car guys (and girls) such as us... :? or they just want to look cool ?

IIRC the 850i was developed by M, and from that time, a lot of BMWs with M wheels or bodykits have that badge.
 
ricepilot - those pics from le mans by any chance?

Thats correct FBC.

Around the Indianpolis and Arnage corners. Always a huge meet there on the Friday before the race.
Probably some 2-3000 cars all of which are exotic.

Couple of our cars. Mines the silly silver one. Porsche my mate Jon's.
