THIS IS A CL55 ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the early cl55 had the same 215 375 chassis number as the cl500.

on the star machine when choosing a model by type it lists cl55 AND cl500 as 215 375.

I thought?

113 960 = CL500
113 985 = CL55AMG

i suspect that there was a degree of confusion within mb on this one. some models do not wear the actual engine size in the badge on the back - i believe some ml500s are actually ml550s?? so perhaps the early cl55amg was designated cl500 by MB for a while early on?

as i say, das shows either cl500 or early cl55amg to be a 215375 vin.

What a lot of hot air. ..........AMG engine? AMG body kit? AMG exhaust? AMG wheels? AMG badges? a few clues there.
Car is a pre-supercharged CL55 AMG. End of.

If it's anything like my 129 60, it started life as a 129 500, went from MB to AGM where it became a 60.

Thanks so the confusion could just be where the car went when new,and where it was shipped to

Interesting link

CL500 chassis with CL55AMG engine. Could this be what is meant by the SA code 030 - AMG Performance package??

Or perhaps as IAnA2 suggests?

Not really as the original order showed some odd things
I have all those things on my SL 500 so you cannot tell be just looking at it

for the CL500 yes but not for the AMG,, the AMG number is correct in the log book as 986 and order

my engine code reads 11398660011526

My point being there is a discrepancy between EPC and WIS, different details for the same VIN.

MB would simply plug in the VIN to get service details from WIS and that doesn't show the AMG engine whereas EPC does!
