The w211 trans has a feature I always use where you can change gear by lever moving sideways. I grew up driving manual cars and don't always like using the paddles. I think all the later mercedes lost that feature?
I have the w212 6.2. And honestly it's suits the 7+ MCT gear box perfectly. I could see in your video where the 5.5 TT only revs to 6.200 rpm it kind of gets confused as to change up a gear or hold onto the lower gear it's in as it hits it limiter. That would piss me off especially coming from the m156 higher revving engine or 7.200 rpm. Plus I'm not sure I'd the 5.5 TT you were driving hd the 9 speed box or the 7 speed. Once you have got used to that 6.2 N/A engine it's unreal the pulling power it has. The 5.5 TT would frustrate me I could Tel buy your video. Ive had the 5.4 M113k in the w211 as as good am engine that is with the supercharger shove in the back. For me the M156 is an amazing high revving forgivable engine. There is power available at any rev range. Fair enough the newer 5.5tt is more powerful and more tuneable but once you have experienced the M156 its hard to change and it's an engine like I said that never feels like it's not ready to go again and again and again. Another thing the M113k stuffers is heat soak. That engine like a cool down when you keep pulling hard runs. The 156 will pull and pull and pull until the cows come home. Brutal engine. One of the all time greats. Nice video BTW👍. The exhaust note of the 156 is more raw if that makes sense and not as fake as the 157.
I love this comment. I certainly agree. I wish I could get a newer E-class with m156. One day it will be hard to let go my w211 e63. I will probably skip m157 and get a car with m177. A sweet alternative would be w204 black series or smth with m159 in it - but those are collectibles nowadays. BTW, hit that Like button to help spread the video.
I wanted to keep the video short by referring to some differences between the two. I have many W211 videos on my channel from DIY repairs to racing to POV videos. Feel free to check out my videos.
My 212 e63 amg s is rear wheel drive woohoo 😂 it's slow af compared to awd ones I swapped my w211 for it. The w211 e63 was a special car , really lovely My 212 drinks oil, I need to top it up every 5k miles
@AccentOnCars thank you, I swapped that one a long time ago for a w211 e63, such a nice car. At that point I had a c63s estate also but with lockdowns and uncertainty I got rid of the C, eventually I swapped the 211 for a e63s w212 which I've had 2 and a half years. Recently bought a 645ci convertible as a commuter car which has a few problems but is a good car for cruising
Thanks for watching and feedback. I talked a bit about the options, differences between the two cars, and then moved on to talk about common issues with m157. Then comes POV driving. What were your expectations from the video and how would you change it?
@@AccentOnCars Following your response i watched your video all the way through - and i enjoyed it. I would have liked to have seen you drive the W211 in the same way you drove the W212 - back to back. Both cars are beautiful.
Oh wow. That’s good to hear. Thanks. I guess I need to communicate what to expect from the video more clearly in the beginning of my videos. The reason I didn’t drive the w211 is because I have many videos of me driving w211 on this channel. It would have been repetitive for returning viewers. But I guess the first-time-viewers probably don’t like that I don’t get to drive the w211 in the same episode. Thanks again for the feedback.
Watch the w211 E63 rev up to 7200 RPM ua-cam.com/video/siLnBsHb-AA/v-deo.html
❤
Just cant beat the 6.2. Dont think ive loved an engine more than this.
So true! It’s going to be so hard to let go one day.
Another awesome video! Totally agree w211 v8 n/a engineering is sensational also w211 is shape inside and out timeless .
This channel will soar. I always like your vids 👍
Thanks buddy 😎
Increasing number of viewers hit the Like button after watching my videos. Thank you for your support!
It would of been a better comparison with prefacelift w212 js
Added that to the list of videos to make 😎
I've got the prefacelift I prefer the look of the preface it looks the naughtiest

Ha ha ha. I always shift using the lever actually and imagine I am driving a manual 😊 I like that more than using the paddles too.
Awesome work, sir ❤
Great to see so unique and detailed comparisons on UA-cam
Thank you for your kind words 😎
Good job on comparison!

Great Video!
How was it a versus you never even showed us what the W211 can do or which one is better

SUBBED ! Thanks for the info!
😎👍
Accent , awesome video - what work did the 212 owner do to its exhaust .?
Thank you. He had Meisterschaft exhaust.
Push the amg button and the handling stiffens up
👏🏻❤️
E63 2012 m157 ❤
W212 all the way
for me the w211 all the way
What year is the w212
My 212 e63 amg s is rear wheel drive woohoo 😂 it's slow af compared to awd ones
I swapped my w211 for it. The w211 e63 was a special car , really lovely
My 212 drinks oil, I need to top it up every 5k miles
I sold my w212 E550 (bi-turbo motor) for w211 AMG :-) Honestly I wish we had RWD w212 with m157 in the States. AWD is fast but not as tail happy.
@@AccentOnCars same as the s63 coupe. i wish i could've gotten the EU rwd spec. I'm still very happy with my 2018 s63 tho😊
Cool car on the profile picture too 💪

My 2012 drinks oil also, & slight trans lag but I love it, it’s a beast .. 10 years ownership
What are the exhaust modifications on w212?
Meisterschaft.
Are the calipers and rotors upfront the same?
Not sure about calipers, but rotors should be the same. They are the same part number from MB and Brembo. But I am not 100% sure.
Take the traction off and she spins
💯
Sorry not interesting - talking about the cost of paint and the leather - thats just plain boring.. I quit at 1 min 40 seconds
