I don't know. All I know is that we had a '97 and an '01. The '97 drove better in every way (it also had a meaningfully better engine - MB severely value engineered them for '99, so they went from DOHC to SOHC). It may even have been a very similar suspension and that the AMG wheels were too much tire for it. Whatever it was, though, the '01 was sloppy and the '97 wasn't.
I also prefer the 16" wheels on it. It's a car that shouldn't have too much wheel or tire on it. It doesn't look right.
