Whats the point of these? Do people put them on there S4/6/8 to show thats its an S model? How about putting them where the kompressor would go on a benz? or where the vents are on an M3 just behind front fenders?

My preference (for stealth reasons) would be to debadge an S8 (or any S for that matter) rather than try to make a non-S look like an S. Whatever....

The "S-line" is a package sold outside of the U.S. They're akin to the "sport" package available to BMW... You know, package that makes 330i to look like M3, etc.

Anyway, there are bigger air-dams, wheels, interior bits, etc., that are available. You pay extra for them, but they're factory installed. And you get a nice little badge saying so. (The little badge, I believe, goes on towards the rear of the rear passenger door.)

Or even put the spoiler on frontwards instead of backwards :-P

S-line is actually pretty cool - it makes available a lot of sporting options, most stylistic, on non-S models.

So if you can't afford an S, or have differing needs than what it provides, you can still have a similar sporting style.

For instance, in Europe you can buy a six speed 2.7T avant. Not an "S6", not an automatic/TIP, a manual. Then you add some S-line goodies and you have what you wanted.

I'd love to have all those options! NOTHING lame about it.

Adding just a badge with nothing to 'prop it up with' is, however, rather lame.

Actually "Sportsline" was Mercedes' inhouse sports sector. AMG is actually a seperate company

Right, like 'S' cars vs. quattroGmbh (RS), no?
