All,
I am member of the Spanish Mercedes R107 club (I own a R107 500SL AMG which I am currently restoring) and I also own a 2004 SL55 AMG. First of all, sorry for my English, which is not great.
Looking for upgrades in the ABC system of my SL55 AMG, I realized that MBworld member (Benz Ninja) was able to successfully retrofit P30 Nurburgring suspension firmware in cars with regular ABC suspension. Not only in AMG cars but also in regular R230 cars!
Please see this link to the thread. Members of MBworld are extremely happy with this. Their cars were transformed!
AMG P30 Nurburgring ABC upgrade - MBWorld.org Forums
He was able to do this after many hours of work based on the SL55 AMG with P30 Performance Package offered in US (it was only offered there starting in 06 with the new facelift and the upgrades in ABC through the range -let’s call it ABC 2-). And it only works for R230 cars 2006 till the end of production (with ABC 2). Again, both for regular SL55s and other R230s.
However, I pointed out to him that the 030 package was offered in other countries starting August 2003 and he believes that with a five minutes help, he will also be able to offer this in pre 2006 230s (let’s call them ABC 1 cars) if he is able to track down a European 2003-2005 SL55 with the 030 performance package. He is even offering a nice reward for this 5 minutes help. Please see also this thread.

I just want to share this find. Hopefully someone can help him and we all will have the possibility to enjoy this very nice upgrade in our SL55s pre facelift or in othe R230s.
