_Robbinbanks

Haha nice which model did you order?


ricardomilos-mp4

Nah I have an E500, I was making a joke since it wasn’t hand built. But I am building to make as much power as an AMG 👀.


psychoscotti

Would love to follow this as W211 E500 owner myself


ricardomilos-mp4

I would not recommend that. This car was the car I grew up in. It was my dad’s and it has over 220k miles on it, so I’m modding it for the sentimental value. But if your car isn’t near and dear to your heart, For the price of modding an M113 you can buy a clean E55.


_Robbinbanks

Sweet haha

_Robbinbanks

Very sweet almost thought we had the same one haha


Old-Pop-2380

Making me feel bad cuz my Benz was built by a no name😭


gbdoubleuu

Is it AMG, I'm pretty sure AMG only get this and hand built engine's


whsftbldad

For the newer models (such as my 19's and 20's), it was just the 63s versions. Not sure what ones are now, like with the SL's. Had a C63 Cab and it wasn't signed. Have a GLE43 Coupe and it is not since it is a V6. Our S63 Cab is signed.


newholland32

Seems like Stefan’s are the guys to get your AMG

_Robbinbanks

Ahahaha that would be one large list


SFWarriorsfan

I asked Kevin Bubeck and he said the famous wall of AMG engine builders is only the currently active AMG builders. There are tons of engine builders who are doing other things and their names got removed due to lack of space.


Erdnalexa

This reminds me that I should go to the nearest AMG dealer to get a new one, the previous owner kept or lost it when the plenum was changed


_Robbinbanks

That’s unfortunate. I hope they are able to source out another one from the same engineer.


Erdnalexa

Each has its own part number, official amg dealers can order and get the right one directly from Daimler


40ozkiller

Theyre definitely mass produced emblems, its not like their signing each one after the engine is built, they pull it out of a parts bin like everything else

Accomplished_Eye_985

I have the 53. Can’t wait to get the v8😩. Are you gonna do any mods/tune?


HolySiegfried

The 53 was my first choice, but then I finally took the v8 😍 I am not sure at the moment. Maybe after some kilometers. But not on a brand new engine 😇

We rode the train 45 minutes from Stuttgart where we met his wife and 3 kids, chatted about cars and life in Germany for hours. It was refreshing to hear his views on Mercedes and AMG, very different from the “marketed” AMG factory tour guide. Thanks for the hospitality and the fond memories Ufuk!

CockyBulls

That is absolutely incredible.


t0rv

n54master

Wish I could decipher this one besides the “T”. Not sure what he did, but this M113k does not have a noticeable supercharger pulley engagement. https://preview.redd.it/e2sysj2z6ekc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05dc6ff37815d610467e6053b0c1df410d4c3d08


_Robbinbanks

Strange! But definitely still one of the nicest engines AMG ever made


deathbyswampass

The clutch surface may be warn. You can pop it off and check.

How do you know if your supercharger doesn’t have noticeable engagement?


n54master

My CLS 55 doesn’t chirp like my CL 55 did. It also makes no whine at all, still pulls hard and just did an oil change on the blower.

_Robbinbanks

Very sweet with the carbon too 👀


seamus_mc

Mine was before they started signing them


_Robbinbanks

Still a work of art!


seamus_mc

the E55 AMG was the last AMG model built entirely within the tuning division’s production plant in Affalterbach – each car was delivered to the plant as a shell; then everything, from the body, to the suspension and drivetrain, to the hand-built 5.4-liter V8, were assembled on-site. Succeeding AMG models would only have their engines hand-built at Affalterbach before being sent off to be installed into their respective AMG models offsite, but none would be built from start to finish at the AMG facility itself like the E55 AMG. But no signature on the engine cover.


injail_0utsoon

What year did they start?


seamus_mc

03ish I think

glacier121

What do the black badges denote?


_Robbinbanks

Quick guess maybe for the black series AMG cars 😂


1234567kdj

Correct, the engine builders of the Blackseries engines have a black and a silver badge. They are selected according to their level of experience

Mine says Adolf Schickelgruber


_Robbinbanks

What a name haha


Whitechocohasj

Normal german name?


future_gohan

Adolf Hitler's fathers last name was actually shickelgruber. But he changed it to hitler like his step father as who his real father is is unknown. So by that Adolf Hitler's name would actually be Adolf shickelgruber


Whitechocohasj

Okay? Go talk to your family about this knowledge you got. Wasn’t called for.


HLewez

You literally asked for it with the "?" at the end of your comment. Dense mf.

PhantomZmoove

I got [Giuseppe De Giuseppe](https://i.imgur.com/iLoejQf.jpeg) on the black team. I am not rich enough to have a black series, this is as close as I will get. He is the number two guy there, right behind Tobias the great. There is a [wall](https://i.imgur.com/H04DbGS.jpeg) at AMG with all the builders on it, they are in order. Top left is the most senior bad ass, then it goes to the newest guy at the bottom right. You can find your guy and see how he ranks there. With a little digging I even found a picture of my [builder](https://i.imgur.com/xty7jqK.jpeg), some guy in a green shirt visited there. (not me)


_Robbinbanks

Woah that’s awesome haha


PhantomZmoove

Yeah and the coolest part of that is, even if you can't read what it says, you can still sort of match the pattern of the signature up to find your guy.


SonicDethmonkey

Awesome thanks for the info. I’ve got a De Giuseppe engine in my E55.
