Hi

Thanks for the great replies, so I guess a good guess is that the last numbers is the serial / production number of the engine ?

Any other 500E owners here ?, what are you engine numbers, or maybe MBUSA don't write you engine number on the service papers ?

Regarding my AMG changes, well I bought my car used, but from the papers I can see that it went straight from factory to AMG Bauwerke, at that time in 1992 a sepearte company from Mercedes-Benz AG.

According to the papers it got a lowered suspension all details documented in the papers, but they are in the car at the moment. And AMG 17" monoblock wheels, later upgraded by me, to 18" AMG monoblocks. It has also got AMG alu door panels at all four doors, but without any light in them. And at last a AMG logo at the trunk as well. As far as i can see no changes have been made to the engine, and that also fits with what is staed here on the forum. That it's hard to tune the car much more with chips, etc. !

The other side read E50, I guess it lost a zero at some point in time, but I feel that this just makes the car more exotic
