Does anyone know how much the increase is in bhp's for W126 engines which has been post-factory enhanced by AMG?

I own an -82 380SE AMG, I have tried to contact AMG in Germany with the VIN number of the car and asked for the information, but they couldn't find the information.

I need the information for my car insurance, if I tell them the car is a regular 380SE and then dent the car (God forbid), the insurance company wil most likely try to dodge any payments to me, claiming that the car was 'lesser insured than the actual model' or similar babble.

Cheers,
Hans, DK

What does it say on the log book? If it says 380SE on the log book then you should be insuring it as a 380SE with whatever mods it has.

Mind you, with amg mods usually being very subtle, is your average car assessor going to know that yours has 5mm lower suspension, or slightly bigger exhausts or higher lift cams?
