I agree it is better to have the valve but I thought that AMG ditched it on both engines to help the manifold breath a little better on the top-end? Was this something that only later C36s and all C43s had done? Or was it only done to the C43s? Or was it not done to any of them and I'm just reading nonsense on the web?

I had my Amg weighed at 2 different scales and they were only 10kg apart. But end result is the car weighs 1620 with me in it and empty on fuel and no jack or spare tire which alone is abt 25kg. So light it is not. For its size and rear seat space and the tiny boot it has the car is a porker with flying colors. As for shorter gearing. Well it has same gear ratios as the w124 e500. So it's tall on gears as well.
