- Опубліковано 22 вер 2019
- Fancy a nice, luxurious, comfortable estate car as a daily - but also want something with some serious firepower? How about the E63 estate for sir?
Two years ago this cars owner converted it to LPG, meaning this supercar-baiting family wagon is even almost economical to run!

Without considering anything else, the fact alone that has an LPG system is just great. Makes it feel like a more relatable car for people like me who do an awful lot of commuting on the autobahn.
Cool looking car in Safety Car Silver. Most people would just think it’s a big old Merc taxi but those who know, know
When it Shoots of from the lights. .with that Exhaust Burble..they will know it's not a Taxi😆😆😆
You seen the cannonball record E63?
One of the best. Top engine, top design, top comfort. The new e63s is a brilliant successor but this thing is my personal favourite
I don't like this engine as much as the previous generation, personal choice I know but it feels like it has to try to hard to me. Feels less like an AMG powerplant even though AMG designed it, I much prefer the lazier feeling supercharged 5.4.
popuptoaster that’s insane. You can prefer it all day but don pretend that because you do it’s not a proper Amy engine when it’s really one of the few purely amg engines. Lazy engines and Motorsport don’t go together
Fee he’s talking about the m113 the m113/m113k is one of the best v8 engines ever made, and the best engine mercedes made. I don’t know about lazy response because its supercharged which is direct power so its not lazy. The 6.3 m156 is a engine designed by amg and they never made a road car engine before, because of that it had head bolt issues.
@@Fee.1 First of don't tell me I'm "pretending" just because I don't share your opinion, I pointed out that it was personal choice, second of all I said it doesn't FEEL like an AMG engine, not that it wasn't one and thirdly Mercedes/AMG are not building these cars for motorsports so I don't get why you think that is even relevant?
The sound that these V8 Merc's make is so addictive and on LPG means I could just about afford it lol
My friend... You are talking about a Merc. ofcourse you can afford purchasing it, and on LPG yea you can afford to run it.
BUT THEN THE NIGHTMARE MONEYPIT BEGINS WHEN SOMETHING BREAKS AND NEEDS REPAIRING.... not to mention maintenance bills hurt a lot too
With the LPG conversion that's got to be getting close to ultimate wagon status.
there are plenty of cases where LPG ruined the engine. So basicaly if you cant afford to pay for pertol, dont buy 500ps car.....
@das wright if that is your experience, thats fine. My experience is that LPG engines do break down more often than regular ones....
@@ivanmico1 any engine that runs on LPG will last more than a petrol one.
@@ivanmico1 If you do not fit a flashlube system then you run the risk of ruining the engine as it wears the valve seats, but if you fit that, and keep it serviced, it should last longer due to less carbon deposits.
@@imnotamechanic3491 that is possible. I dont know the exact reasons why numerous engines on LPG failed.
The e63 amg suddenly became my perfect daily dream car when I first got a ride in a facelift 5.5 turbo estate. All that luxury, practicality, power and that v8 noise. This was a few years ago so was the latest
E class of its time
love my w211 E63. what a beast and it puts a smile on my face every day i drive it. 2 years of ownership and its been a great car.
I've got a 2009 CLS63 AMG with this same 6.2 M156 engine and it never disappoints !
I thought long and hard before I converted my E55 to LPG.
Best decision ever. Same power same noise only half the price to run
I hope you review a Volvo V70R or a 850 T5 someday!
Clicks on the "like button" and immediately goes to Autotrader............
It’s a shame lpg isn’t more common. It makes running a v8 attainable but sadly less petrol stations sell it.
I’d take the twin turbo amg over the n/a one though.
mark reed One of my dads friends has a mid 90s jeep Cherokee 4.0 straight 6 petrol lpg converted straight piped 😂 sounds the nuts
Used to have a W211 E500 saloon with a 90 litre LPG tank in the boot and straight pipes. Best money pit I ever owned and the fuel economy equated to the equivalent of ~35mpg. Would do anything to have a working example of one again.
I have an E55 estate car, it goes stops and handles a LOT better than most people expect it to, OK not as much power as the newer cars but it's also a lot lighter, mine was ordered without a lot of the options that stop working as well so it's pretty good, has no sunroof and old school halogen headlamps, no parking sensors, no window blinds etc, it still cost well over £70k 19 years ago.
Is smokes this 63 and ferrari's and that order creap 😅
@@mbevo2343 Maybe it does where you live but for under £4000 I bought a 350bhp V8 in a 1700kg ,one owner, full main dealer history car that stops and handles very well for its size and age, will just squeeze under 6 seconds to 60 on a good day, and can do 172mph.
Let me know if you did the same with something LS powered....
@@popuptoaster I mean that the 55 amg is beter than the 63😉 I had 3 e55 amgs and 2 e63amgs but the 55 is faster than te 63 and the 55 is not so tillhappy😉😉
@@mbevo2343 not at all is it better the 63 handles much much better than the w211 55. A very capable car is the E63. Very agile fir it's size. Much more so than the w211. The 6.2 w212 is a fantastic all-round. I've owned both variants. Doesn't sound to shabby either does it 😊
My neighbour has a saloon E63 of this generation in black, and every time I hear it fire up I feel envious. Never even thought about LPG in a car like this.
I just bought a 2013 E220 CDI estate as a cheap daily commuter. It is a refined carriage. I have another, straight-six S211 (previous generation) and I cannot wait to get an E350 CDI. They are great cars, this is where Mercedes really starts.
Must have needed some big ass lpg injectors if it is going to make the full power using lpg.
TsLeng probably 'only' makes 470hp now.
@das wright it's energy density of the fuel. Lpg by volume has less energy than petrol. So you'll need 30% larger injectors by volume compared to the petrol injectors to produce the same power.
@das wright yes if you use big ass injectors. Which was my original point.
As it has 8 cylinders it will have 8 gas injectors. So that's less than 70hp per injector. I have done 100hp per injector on Lpg on a 5 cylinder Audi with capacity left. Power feels the same. It's just on Lpg when coming out of tight bends real hard, the gas can slosh about in the tank as they arnt baffled, and it then switches to petrol. Not a big issue.
The comment on A45 is spot on because of the 2.0 turbo craze nowadays. Hey, we've had 350-400hp 1.8T 20 years ago, remember?
no, what car was that
Thought you're gonna tell us something about the lpg system cause it must be really capable if it can make 500 hp + whip to unleash the full potential. Other than that, i'm in love with the W212 even if i'm not a Merc fan at all, it's so timeless and with the v8 or even v6 diesel it's like a dream tourer for long journeys.
I was planning on talking about the LPG, but the problem is there are so so many variables with it I thought them moment I quote any numbers, I am gonna get them wrong. I may address it in a future video
Whats the brand and model of LPG system?
Thank you
them v8 are so sweet and go like a rocket very nice car.
Very interesting car. Here in eastern europe many people frown upon LPG conversions. My car also runs on it, there are very few drawbacks and you can save up to 60% on fuel. Did the math and i saved over 1500€ on fuel last year.
The spare eats up space though, and i cant go without it since the roads are shite.
Unless you fit a tube tank in the spare wheel
Is it aftermarket? Has it been reliable? What's the brand of the lpg kit?
We got you in the end (merc fan here) :0
Being as you set the bar quite high with that XJ220 any chance you could find 3 of my bucket list cars the MG Xpower SV-R(the car everyone forgot existed), Noble M600(the super car that was underappreciated , and finally the VX220 turbo(because of the lotus connection) Many thanks.
I may be mis-remembering, but I'm sure he did the mg. Check the play list.
@@chocolateteaspoon He's done the MG ZT V8 not the MG Xpower SV-R this is the mad looking thing that looks like a TVR
Ok quick Google image search, yeah definitely not the mg he's done, looks more like something out of the American market though
Dream wagon 😍
Expected more content regarding the LPG conversion. Things like MPG, driving feel, price etc.
I want to do a separate video on LPG, there were issues during the shoot which meant I couldn't give it a fair evaluation
@@JayEmmOnCars When I was looking into for a previous gas guzzler it I was told you could get MORE power on LPG but only if you go for a full conversion rather than duel fuel, it's the ability to swap back and forth that compromises the installation but it's not really practical to convert solely to LPG, there is also the issue that the government could quite easily whack the tax back onto it at any point and it would cease to be cheap.
@@popuptoaster I converted my first Range Rover to LPG 20 years ago, people told me then the price would rise and it was a waste of time. Still running half price cars 20 years on.
@@mickfoxvehicleservices8522 I think it will stay cheap as long as it qualifies as a "green" fuel, at some point though the government will have to tighten up the requirements for this if they want to get people into electric vehicles. I'm not saying I agree with it, I was just illustrating my point about it not being practical converting to LPG only. If i could afford the conversion i'd have my E55 done dual fuel like a shot! :D
@@mickfoxvehicleservices8522 have you had any issues? What's the manufacturer of the lpg kit you used?
Nicely done

Cheers, thought it looked localish
Love the vids. Content is plenty and good variety. I'm more shocked that you shot the video 8 miles from my house. 💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴💙🏴
Everybody wants to be a top gear presenter from the late 1990s
Very classy motor indeed,
Looks like a sensible daily for you James. Good companion for your S class. :-S
Im doing an RS4 B7 Avant. and use it as an RV. I have a Mini Trailer etc for office, ectra bed, shower what not. It will go like the clappers.
Very interesting! How does the LPG system affect performance though? Is the torque curve shifted at all? Does peak torque/ power change?
I want to do a full video on LPG in future
Lpg if done properly should only decrease power numbers by up to 10%, which again leaves you with good 460ish hp but with 60% cheaper fuel economy
LPG is over 100 Octane and actually gives a circa 5% increase in power. I have a W211 E55 AMG converted to LPG. The limiting factor is pressure in the LPG tank, after a few spirited accelerations it will switch to petrol until the pressure builds. Mine can supply circa 450bhp from LPG but is mapped to top this up with petrol when I floor it and ask for full power. Currently running circa 605bhp.
Vehicle manufacturers such as Vauxhall used to install LPG systems into a certain number of their models as standard up until a few years ago. They don't do it so much these days in order to reduce production costs. It's a shame because LPG is a cleaner fuel and helps towards reducing the rate of petrol consumption. Any reduction in petrol consumption is still beneficial for the environment compared to no reduction at all.
Get your hands on a 2015-2018 Volvo s60/v60 polestar to review please

@@SympathyRS nope thats a update 6.2 and america has the New engine but shittie ecu updates
Such a sleeper! But again 20 litre of petrol per 100 km is too much
But then again 20 liters of petrol is like 8 liters of petrol when converted through lpg prices.
Brutaleon More like 12 litres but it depends on how cheap the fuel is really. Where I live, LPG is around 55% less expensive than Petrol, factor in the 15-20% fuel efficiency delta you're looking at around 40% lower costs than Petrol, which is of course 60% of the cost of Petrol, 60% of 20 ergo the equivalent cost of ~12l/100k. But of course your point is still correct, much cheaper than Petrol.
You do realise that with the comments on the A 45 you are once again risking the furious wrath of people who must be virtually foaming at the mouth as they type their impotent rage at someone who criticises a car they have.
Julian Evans hahaha yeah totally... I just came back from a Throttle House video and this is way more realistic
The A45 is shit.
@James Smith Using 'gay' as an insult is homophobia. You could google 'why using gay as an insult is homophobic' if you don't understand why.
@James Smith It's not 'woke' and I'm not offended. It's just homophobic.
Learn that or stay ignorant - up to you.
(Feel free to keep arguing a point you can't win - I won't be responding, as I've nothing to gain.)
@James Smith Equating the word "gay" with something that is "shite" really isn't very nice ya know and demonstrates a lack of imagination as far as insults goes.
We could, instead, say that the A45 is a bit "James Smith", ie, it's a bit boring, not very bright, is just generally unlikeable and is best off locked up alone in a dark garage where it can't offend anyones eyes......
"The Oliver Reed school of thirst" lol 9:10
I've had every generation of the e63 including the new 4 litre that I've got now.
I've loved them all, especially the 6.2 which sounded like Brian Blessed gargling with gravel.
The 4 litre actually sounds really good, in fact not far off the 6.2 although totally different. I wasn't a fan of the 5.5 though.
Yes, plenty of torque, but just lacked the character of the other two.
You didn't mention a fact about LPG that's pertinent to this kind of car - it has a higher octane rating than petrol, depending on the mix (as its a mix of butane and propane) its between 103 and around 112, so higher than any premium fuel but as little as half the price (prices vary a fair bit across the country).
Lpg in the city, petrol in the twisties.
Any chance of you getting your hands on a Lexus ISF to review? I'd love to know what you thought of one.
I did an RC F
I had to sit in the back of a 2014 Mercedes-Benz A-Class when I was14, I was even a little short for my age and I couldn't fit in it
You like sitting quite high in the seat James. Not a fan of the low slung seat?
I generally like to be low, but upright
How much hp after the LPG conversion?
With the system installed on this car you're looking at a 0% to 3% power loss. This conversion was done to a high standard by a skilled installer and I'm sure if you put it on a dyno and ran averages switching back and forth between fuels you'd be looking as extremely similar numbers, if they're any different at all. The actual dyno test probably wouldn't even be accurate enough to detect such a negligible difference.
I thought LPG resulted in less horsepower than staying on petrol? So, surely this car isn't still making the original 520?
lpg sucks
You could swap back to petrol for hooning about if you need every last HP for some reason.
@@dizzy2020 so what number was it making in your opinion
Totally depends on the spec of the system that is installed. Can always switch back to petrol for WOT if necessary
How did I miss your tvr video? I'm watching that straight after
How indeed! Also check my Tamora and Tuscan video if you havent already
...LPG technology did huge progress within it's existence and today is quite sophisticated technology that makes hybrids embarasing.... you might would wonder how many expensive powerfull cars are LPG converted but it's owners do hiding it....not only for reason of illegaly entering underground garages...but simply because of image...( e.g. in Europe about 40% of non-turbo Cayenes are LPG) Just one necessary rule for LPG/CNG conversion: NEVER skip installation of additional valves lubrication! FlashLube system is a must|! Propane has over 110 octanes and burns at sun heat comparing to petrol!
any details or estimates on how much the LPG conversion costs?
I'm going to do a full video in future about LPG
Around £2000
As tay M suggested, around 2000. You're probably looking at 2000-2200, well worth the initial cost when you factor in how quickly it pays for itself if you're doing a fair amount of miles.
Not sure how that LPG conversion was signed off. Last time I checked the filler was not allowed to be in the petrol flap and had to have its cover fitted when not being used.
Hi there! We are the installers of the LPG system on this car. The requirement is that an adaptor is not needed to fit the filling nozzle onto the valve (apart from in other countries where they have different nozzle types.) So if there is space for the filler valve beside the petrol filler behind the petrol flap, which there isn't on 90% cars, then it can be fitted no issue. This car in particular does have enough space behind the petrol flap area and so the nozzle was installed there for convenience. Also the valve is covered by the petrol flap and so an extra cover is not required as the main purpose of it is to keep the valve clean. This car is certified to UKLPG standards by a certified professional technician, if there were any issues with the installation I’m we’d have heard about it. If you have anymore questions about it feel free to ask! AngusAutogas.
@@angusautogas6839 happy to stand corrected. When I last enquired I was told that it was a big no, as was having the filter by a tow bar. Every day is a school day.
Filter? What on earth was I thinking 🤣. Nozzle!
Hello, @@angusautogas6839. Can i have your number or other type of contact from you ? I wanna talk to you for an ml63 w166 5.5 biturbo. Thanks !
@@angusautogas6839 is it possible to convert toyota avensis mk2 2007 to use lpg.
The engine is 1.8 or 2.0 vvti coupled to a automatic gearbox.
Nice, dog carrier galore! From researching LPG a few yrs ago the problem is that they have difficulty reaching high power outputs. Perhaps that's less applicable in an N/A engine? Would love an answer on that one.
Almost no power limit as far as I'm aware. My Dad converts them for a living, he's done 5L Supercharged Range Rovers (510BHP), BMW X5's, Porsche's, Audi RS5's. This is actually one of the cars he's converted, this very car in the video. They all perform just how they used to. The problems you've mentioned may well have been a problem in the past, but the Kits produced by Prins (the system that's on this Merc) are controlled by a piggyback ECU which takes the readings from the OEM ECU and just adjusts them for LPG. Almost no power differences, although these kits usually cost a bit more than the standard ones but for the quality of them it's worth it though seeing as you make the money back saving on fuel.
@@douglashill2860 Thanks, I thought it had do with the actual limits of the fuel itself beyond a certain engine rate, something like 98 RON being more efficient or which-ever thermo-dynamic physics apply in the burning of fuel...
ChawenHalo 008 Well I do know that LPG has a higher octane rating than standard petroleum (the LPG being about 85% Propane 15% Butane), and so actually combusts better not to mention it's combustion is much cleaner, but it is of course less energy dense than petrol due to its relative density being lower. But it really depends on the engine and the conversion of the car on how much, if any, power loss there really is. It could be 0%, it could be 15%, it could be MORE powerful it's all just to do with the injectors used, how smart/efficient the ECU is, the quality of the conversion itself. So there are lots of variables at play. Chances are if you get a good/excellent quality system fitted by a careful and skilled installer, you're looking at a 0% to 5% power loss, which I would say is pretty negligible considering the 40% less overall cost of running. Anyway ramble over, yes LPG is less energy dense than petrol even though it's combustion in itself is better and more powerful, so if an LPG system were to run at the exact same values as a standard Petrol system, same size injectors, flow rate etc, you'd be looking at a 10-15% power loss.
@@douglashill2860 Thanks for the complete answer, that's perfect. Who cares about a 5-15% power loss on such a powerful engine anyway. As the great man behind the Stratos and F40 once said: beyond 400 bhp, its just the electronics of the car having fun, not the driver.
ChawenHalo 008 Yep true! Weight matters too, for just pure fun (as in not a daily driver) I would much rather have a 300bhp car completely stripped out and weighing well under a ton than a 1.5 ton 500bhp all bells and whistles car. That being said we did own a V8 supercharged Range Rover, that thing was incredibly fast and beautiful to drive!
I've got a lpg car, it's only 150 bhp 2.0 litre. Does anyone know if there is a power limit for installing an lpg kit? Like could you fit one on a m3 for example?
Almost no power limit as far as I'm aware. My Dad converts them for a living, he's done 5L Supercharged Range Rovers (510BHP), BMW X5's, Porsche's, Audi RS5's. This is actually one of the cars he's converted, this very car in the video. They all perform just how they used to.
@@douglashill2860 somebody mentioned lpg injectors needing to be uprated? Take it , it costs alot more for a more powerful car?
Chris G There is some price difference with cars that have significantly more horsepower/performance than most cars. With an LPG conversion you're typically looking at a cost of £1500-2500, including labour, and depending on the type of system, quality of system, or whether you opt for 2nd hand parts. Most of the extra cost involved is usually for cars with more cylinders as obviously you need more injectors, which can get costly.
In all seriousness... 16-28k for the greatest engine class ever made?
Astounding.
If you have the readies, and you have kids and pets? This is the thing to own
Just LISTEN to it!!
Plus serious depreciation and cost of running
Now you need to drive an RS6 if you like these types of estate cars.....
Where was the lpg conversion done and what was the cost?
Calum Maxwell in Germany it cost about 4K€
LPG....., no loss of space....., but where do you put the spare?
At home. Spares rarely get used now anyway
@@JayEmmOnCars a bottle of RTV snot is never quite the thing .......,even a space saver would give a better sense of safety for a dark night on a back road with a split tyre.
Jane Seymour I don't know about you but I find AA roadside to be well worth it for peace of mind, even if you do have a spare wheel. Obviously if I had one and it was the tyre that went I'd just do it myself but that's besides the point. But I guess if you don't want to shell out for roadside assistance then sure it could be an issue, or just keep it in the boot if you're really worried.
In the boot. As an estate for everyday use you can afford to lose the a bit of space whilst if you were intending to use the full volume or needed the flat cargo bed simply remove the spare for that journey. I have the spare wheel strapped down in my LPG estate boot & it’s not to intrusive, the tool kit still nestled inside the wheel well & it has a protective padded bag around it. I’ve got a bit of wood board underneath to stop it indenting the carpet over time. Mine also has an early 2000’s Sony DVD player protruding into the o/s of the boot a little that still plays.
Dont like the performance A class's. Tut tut..... Ive driven loads of Golf R's, S3's, Mini coopers, Focus RS. And to me the W176 Facelift A class (2016-2018) has an amazing chassis. It just does precisely what ever you ask it to do in an almost surgical way. That together with the AMG dynamic suspension, AMG Speedshift DCT with 0.1 second shifts. And its just an awesome car. Which is why i now own one. Yes is has the most powerful 4cyl production engine in the world blah blah. But its not the fastest sure. I have an old but tuned Saab 9000 2.3T Aero and it Whoops the A45 out on the open road, despite being 23yrs old. 70 to 100 in just 3.5 seconds. Private roads of course.....
He didn't say they weren't good the point is that you pay Mercedes prices without getting the true Mercedes experience, if it's just the performance you want you can get it much cheaper elsewhere or put the money into buying an older but higher range Merc which will make you much happier, I read somewhere that the A class was the number one financed new car in the UK, lots of people buying them just to say they have a Mercedes I suspect.
@@popuptoaster Well mercedes did make the cheaper models like the A180, and A180d which incidentally has the Renault / Nissan 1.5dci engine !. Very cheap on PCP plans. £230 a month, drive away. Maintenance all included. Its cheap motoring if your after a new car.
@@dj_paultuk7052 We've got a 9000 2.3t Anniversary with an Aero engine and seats... running on LPG! Great fun to drive, especially when it only costs £25 for a full tank :). AngusAutogas Conversions.
I see no reason not to give to LPG, it even helps with performance contrary to the common misconception
Can it DRIFT?????
From what I've heard, older LPG systems used to take around 10% to 20% of an engine's horsepower. But newer systems are much more efficient, general consensus is that it only takes around 5% or so, which in a high horsepower engine like this one you barely notice. LPG systems are a good option only if you daily drive a car such as this one, otherwise the cost is not worth it.
Last year I test drove a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX with a new generation LPG system in it. You barely felt the difference switching fuels while driving it.
Yeah, the different LPG systems are fairly confusing hence me not going into much detail on this one
@@JayEmmOnCars If you have any questions feel free to give us a message! Cheers, AngusAutogas Conversions.

OMG does lpg work , I haven't watched the full content, V8 LPG? ??
Ive had both an e430 V8 in lpg and now a E46 330i touring on lpg. Both felt the same in petrol and lpg. My 330i gives me the same cost per mile as a Renault Clio 1.4 petrol. For example it cost me £43 in lpg to do the 560miles from our house to London and home again.

how much fuel cost?
Petrol in UK = £1.30 a litre, roughly
LPG = 70p a litre
JayEmm on Cars thanks! and how much fuel consumption? and economy lpg
@@user-qz5re5td5r very hard to say - depends on usage
루미 Up here in Scotland most places in the south/east coast are around 50-60p per litre, with Petrol hovering consistently between £1.23 and £1.27. Mileage on LPG is usually around 15% less, so with a 45-55% less cost you're looking at around 40% lower costs overall than Petrol. But as JayEmm mentioned, it does also depend on usage.
Got a question JayEm - How come us brits has bitty faults and YANKS need bumper to bumper warranties and call Brit cars JagLandRover useful reliable Brit luxury breakdown specials, see Hoovies garage on his green E63
What is the question?

So someone can afford an AMG 500+ ps monster but can't afford to pay for fuel so he ruins the engine......
Ivan Mico well you can buy used amgs in the 20ish to 40ish k€ range, not exactly what you would consider rich. Also not to mention if someone buys older ones from 00s for even cheaper. Those people might not be rich at all but are huge amg lovers so they get best of both worlds.
@@Omgiamsotriggered If that is how you see it, ok. I see it that LPG can damage your engine so if you really want/need to have AMG/M power or any big engined car, make sure you can afford to buy petrol and stay away from LPG modifications....
@@ivanmico1 ..Elaborate ..don't just say it will damage your engine...Volvos Opels came from factory with Bi-Fuel...you know better than Volvo???😆
@@TheMuzikall If factory designs engine to run on LPG it is completelly different than various aftermarked systems....
@@ivanmico1 oh ok. .so it's not LPG damaging the engine...just wanted clarification. ..
Wanna try out my 2004 CL55 AMG?
Absolutely, I was talking with someone today about the CL. Message me on talk@jayemm.com
@@JayEmmOnCars cheers buddy!

@@raycroal cheers mate!
@@DjAlyX1 i have the older c140 cl600 its got a great engine but i am 100% sure the cl55 will be much better to drive
i bet Mercedes cares a lot what a Tommy Boy thinks about them
First
In the rule of 2
The noise of that engine!
My word!
It's just...
Wow.
Just...
Wow!
Other than a screaming V10? It's gotta be a burbling, monster AMG.
Nothing compares to those two notes.
It's either Thor battering a minion, or god himself (yes... A V10 is the noise of god himself... Fact) annoyed about not being an AMG.
Facts matter guys.
When you get to the pearly gates, ask Petey why he drives an AMG and not an Audi V10!
You'll probably be banned for (life?) ever, but at least in hell you get to listen to an AMG! Haha.
Jesus would forgive you! 😂
Your turning into an old man with your Merc's, why do you think there cheap!
Damn kids *shakes fist*
It’s more fun in a ml amg 5.5 twin turbo take my word lol 😂
No
Everything is awesome about this car until that M156 engine decides to act up, usually around 60K miles, when that happens be prepared to spend as much on it as you did buying the car, ask me how I know 😂
Dont forget the gearbox
JayEmm on Cars yup conductor plate issues
You are talking absolutely hen house . Where are your factual issues you claim?? Jog on. This engine is a master piece. And will one day be regonised for that.
@@Alpinatom aight bro know better than me carry on 🤣
@@lamboferruccio Ricky to tricky, just keep tuning up your blower motor. Have you ever driven an M156 engined car?
This British tone is so boooooring!
Ur lifting up her skirt analogy is extremely dated and wouldn’t go down well if u made it main stream...
Mark Patterson Indeed, “Grabbing her pussy” is more today’s style ...
"Picking up her skirt" is not the same as "lifting someone's skirt"

This is completely pointless really ... it's thirsty even in lpg.. and serious depreciation.. plus on a track a caterham would run rings around it
Why would you track this car though? A caterhams used to hold my diesel BMW up on track, they're normally driven by self entitled a###### too.
Thirsty! You need a mortgage just for fuel and another loan for maintenance! Rather look to the future, ev!
