As with most of the German manufacturer’s sale-bombs, some of the 2001 models went on to become even more attractive by passing by the AMG workshops.
Two tweaks of the already popular C-Klasse models were produced, the C 32 and the Diesel-powered C 30 CDI AMG. Both versions were available in all body styles, including the wagon, which was a peppy family car powered by a range of two engines displacing 3.2 L and 3.0 L for the diesel version, developing 354 hp and 231 hp respectively. Although the Diesel spelled more convenience for some buyers, it proved to be slow-selling and ceased production in 2004.
