I didn't know about the origin of the modern AMG logo until this video. Once again, another top shelf and informative video.

It was also later around 2010 that the AMG logo went for another facelift, the A for the AMG font changed slightly slanted.

The new AMG logo (according to AMG themselves) was designed in 1991, some early 91 models did utilize it, but it was not mainstream till 1992 with the introduction of the first AMG/Mercedes collaboration, the 190E 3.2l. Even with the new logo, many parts utilized in this time frame still used the older AMG logo design, till those inventories will used up. So it would not be out of place to see both logos on early 90's AMG built vehicles.
@AMGmeister9 ай бұрын
Those transition years are so fascinating, I suppose by 93 the old logo was phased out but the new logo certainly did appear earlier.

Finally a vid with the mighty E36 wagon. People pie in their pants for a 500E, but a reality check later they realize that there are over 10k of them made. Only 171 wagons, 68 coupes, 68 cabrios and 4 sedans were ever made of the E36. The funny thing is that the wagon was named 124.092 just as the E320 wagon - even though they used the M104 2,8 litre engine in Affalterbach to the AMG version. Nor the 5-speed automatic, or the 5-speed manual were ever an option on the C36 202 pre - 96, and the E36 W124:s. That said, the customers wallet has always played a big part of AMG history....

Here in Britain we deal with this every year. At university a friend of mine had a 80’s Mini which had been ‘waxoiled’ from new, and frankly was immaculate underneath considering it wasn’t overly cherished otherwise. Ever since I have done the same with my cars and they have fared very well as a result, despite regular winter use.
