This 2003 Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG was originally sold new in California in February 2003 and remained in California until 2009 when it was registered in North Carolina. It has since remained in the Southeast under regular service and maintenance. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over AMG-Exclusive Anthracite (251) Nappa leather, the car is powered by a supercharged 3.2-liter AMG V6 paired to a five-speed automatic transmission. Modifications include Kleemann crank, idler, and water pump pulleys, a Kleemann tune, Kleemann Headers, a Fabtech transmission tune, Fabtech Split Cooling System, and a complete SL55 AMG (R230) intake transplant with the OEM intakes included. Notable options include COMAND navigation and infotainment with auxiliary audio input, prewiring for mobile phone, an electric rear sun shade, xenon headlamps, and heated front seats. In addition to the supercharged M112, the C32 features AMG-tuned suspension, exhaust, and brakes. On the exterior, AMG-specific bumpers and side skirts are fitted with twin 5-spoke AMG wheels. This W203 currently shows 118k miles on the odometer and is offered with manufacturer’s literature, two original keys, an original steering wheel, original C32 AMG intakes, service records, and a clean Georgia title.
The exterior of this C32 AMG is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features AMG-sculpted sport bumpers, side skirts, AMG-tuned suspension, and an AMG-stamped dual-tip exhaust. The car is equipped with optional automatic xenon headlamps, auto-dimming mirrors, a power sunroof, and the factory blue-tinted glass has 50 percent tint on the sides and rear. Klemann badges accent the factory AMG badging on the front fenders and the rear deck shows a Kleemann spoiler. Light rock chips can be seen on the nose of the car and the rear bumper shows light scuff on the rear left corner.
The factory AMG twin-spoke 17" staggered wheels are wrapped in Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires measuring 225/45 up front and 245/40 in the rear. Some curb rash can be seen on both rear wheels and the inside wheel spokes show slight discoloration. Stoptech brake rotors and ceramic pads have been installed by the seller.
The cabin is trimmed in AMG-specific Anthracite Nappa leather across the seats, door cards, head rests, and shift knob. All leather surfaces are reported to be original and nicely kept. In place of wood trim, the C32 AMG received a textured Sport trim across the center console along with an aluminum and leather shift knob stamped with “C32”. Options on this example include COMAND navigation and infotainment with factory auxiliary audio input in the glovebox, a powered rear sun shade, and heated front seats. Reproduction AMG-stitched floor mats are shown for all four footwells. The steering wheel has been replaced with a later-model C203 steering wheel with multi-function controls and an original C32 wheel is included in the sale.
The digital odometer shows just over 118k original miles. Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and a digital odometer with trip function. Additional gauges include fuel level and the LCD display can show engine and coolant temperatures along with oil level electronically. The screens show no signs of failing LCD pixels and functions properly.
The AMG-tuned 3.2-liter M112 supercharged V6 was rated at 349 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque when new and is paired with a 722.6 automatic five-speed transmission. The hand-assembled power plant from Affalterbach features a twin-screw supercharger and dual intakes on either side of the engine. This example features modifications including Kleemann crank, idler, and water pump pulleys, a Kleemann tune, Kleemann Headers, a Fabtech transmission tune, Fabtech Split Cooling System, and a complete SL55 AMG (R230) intake transplant with the OEM intakes included. The seller also states they were told Kleemann camshafts were installed as well but has not confirmed. The secondary catalytic converters have been removed along with the resonators for free flow to the stock AMG muffler.
This C32 AMG currently shows 118k miles on the odometer and is offered with manufacturer’s literature, two original keys, an original steering wheel, original C32 AMG intakes, service records, and a clean Georgia title.

Very cool car this one....touch to find them this clean anymore.
All, Happy Fourth. We've added a couple driving videos showing normal driving functions and an acceleration video. We've had requests over the weekend for some underside photos which we'll be taking tomorrow morning and posting. Other questions have mentioned records from Kleemann (which we don't have). thanks to all for the positive feedback so far.

Plenty reliable (the M112) was hard to kill anyway. Very little maintenance will keep this solid!

Are these reliable even with the AMG tuning? I remember the E55’s being bulletproof, assume this is largely the same?
These cars are such sleepers! The 03+ are the ones to get to avoid the tranny issues of the earlier models.

Everyone, welcome to our C32 AMG auction. This car comes to us from a known local enthusiast and amateur collector. This car is in great shape inside and out but the interior deserves special attention- not sure we've seen a C32 interior this well preserved. Power delivery is solid and definitely stout by stock comparison and we've logged about 60 miles since having it in stock. Please let us know if there are questions along the way. We're excited to help another cool and rare MB find a good home!
