This was a fun day for me, Zack was a super nice and appreciate he's input and taking my car out for a spin. I sold the E55 to buy a E63 which I now have.
Oh nice!
Very cool car.. it looks super clean 👌 love the color
Stealth 63. Beautiful car man!!👌🏽
uohtreB thank you🙏
Chris Munsey thanks 🙏
My friend owned a 2005 one of these I think. When he put it up for sale someone asked if trades are ok and my friend replied “depends on the car”. Long story short they tried to trade a 2015 Nissan Versa for the E55.
Had a guy offer to trade a slammed 90's Jetta for my built 2012 STI some years ago, with no cash on top. Some people have no shame lol
@Arthur Wall Right? That's like people selling their cars for way more than its worth, because they want to get their mod money back lol.
How many nissan versa's? Just one? Cuz i'd consider it for 3 or 4, but on a serious note a depressing amount of people just do notttt factor fun feel looks or engagement into their offers. Sounds like this guy just saw a little bit of image with the 3 pointed star. Derp
I laugh in the face of dudes that’s want me to pay for their mods.
To be fair, they are worth the same 🤣
Transporting it because he is worried about it making an 8hr drive is hilarious. It's in your head dude, I drive mine freaking everywhere it's dead nuts reliable.
Daniel Immeyer yeah that was weird to me. Bought mine site unseen from Seattle and drove it home to Detroit, completely solid.
Motown Models how’s your e55 holding up?
@@monikhushalpuri it's indestructible 133k and counting with my foot to the floor
Depends on previous owner/seller. Who tf knows what condition it’s in. I would certainly want to tool around a bit before a long haul. But to each their own
@@Bigfoot12x12 You can beat these things like a savage and they just keep going.
I own a 2003 E55. 133,000 miles and still running strong💪
I watch this video only to read this! Lol jk
Same year, got 137k miles on mine💪😁
I also have an 03, just hit 70k today
Who cares 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😘🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
There are many W211 as taxis in Europe.
Many W210 also.
133k miles is nothing.
Wonderful vid. M113 - best engine ever made. Mine has 292k and still running like hell 👍🏻 ✌🏻
Hey bro is it still going well? I want to buy one
A
Damnit everyone keeps making videos of these and the prices is slowly rising
the best E class AMG imo, even better as a wagon
Best e class period
W124. But love the w211 too
@@Quatschmichnichdicht yeah w124 is awesome. I think W124 is the best sedan and W211 has the best wagon, at least in terms of looks
Ive had both...the w211 is more reliable...but w124 is still better
That wagon had a big ol butt
In person, this car whine’d like a pulley’d Eaton 03-04 Cobra.
Sounded pretty good.
yes finnaly a w211 e55
Circa Eclipse missed this one then did ya? ua-cam.com/video/pkfmrhLUPlo/v-deo.html
@@MrJosephbelfi i seen that one but this one is modified lol
Circa Eclipse so was the other lol!
@@MrJosephbelfilmao with the hands control... that one does not count. Point, blank, period.
This Car , when you can drive it properly, gives a lot of goosebumps and smiles. But It can scare you sometimes also. I will never sell our E55K. (Germany).
yeah this car is the best 12K I have ever spent
@@DopeyFilms64 best sedan from its time. And one of the best sedans ever made.
"Sounds like a couple of mustangs arguing in a tunnel"
This thing came out during my sophmore year in HS. Quite literally my favorite AMG car. Sounds so darn good.
Ugh, I love these. Definitely one of my favorite AMG cars.
I keep coming back to watch this video! I found a well maintained 2 owner E55 with under 100k miles about 2 years ago and have been slowly replacing the suspension bushings, flex discs, mounts etc. and did an i/c pump upgrade and a VRP clutched 77mm blower pulley w/RaceIQ tune. I’m looking for some long tubes headers and going to do 550lph injectors, a looped fuel rail and 80mm t/b and ported blower inlet while I’m in there. Since COVID I have only put 9000 miles on it and I get all of my maintenance parts from FCP Euro and just did an oil change, conductor plate and fluid service so I hope to keep it forever and have already turned down random people offering to buy it!
If there’s been one odd obsession I’ve had with a car I never owned it’s this bad boy. Ultimate daily with an attitude. Glorious exhaust note out of that v8, pretty quick, super comfy and roomy for yourself and passengers. And best of all, extremely affordable right now. I add a lot of power to my cars so I always stuck with Audi for its AWD traction but was always tempted by this baby. Great review👍
im shocked it got alot of views, best car I've ever owned. Miss it, thanks Zack for taking the time to review it 🙏. I would love to buy a white one one day again.
Back again on that great Channel. The W211 model is the best E-Class ever made by Mercedes Benz. I own one of the first models built in 2002 with now 300K Kilometers. M113 is a real beast-machine. This car will never getting old. It's timeless...
I've got a 04 E55K 7 seater Estate. Absolutely love it. Sounds amazing, immense torque but super comfy seats and air ride. New ones are too stiff cheaper interior and rock hard seats .
Had my 04 for a year at this point. Done lots of maintenance and a few repairs as I noticed things but overall very pleased.
I’ve been looking at these for a while on eBay also loved the CLS 55 amg
Ian Townsend tough to find one since they only made them for one year. I saw one a week ago and it was in terrible shape.
I have a 2006 CLS 55 AMG black fully built running 700 HP for sale if interested look on AutoTrader you cant miss it. Nicest one on there. Let me know
im starting to really enjoy Zack doing those one takes. I also love the fact that he really take time for the Guess.. thanks Zack
you're spot on, Zack. That vintage of Mercedes in general had super progressive steering. I actually love it.
The E55 is a 200mph sedan for $12/$14k lol
Just Wryt the E55 really is and these aren’t constantly broken. The V10 M5 is commonly know as a problem child to even BMW fans. It’s an awful car. You can buy an E55 with low miles for $14, they’re are very reliable and get an ECU flash and do 200mph all you like. The community and support for these cars is massive. Don’t take my word for it. Call some euro tuning shops and ask them what they think.
The E55 is a great car with virtually no engine/trans issues.. makes it difficult to compare it to a E60 M5 with virtually every trans/engine issue.. I own an E60 myself, but the 550i m -sport, that's the E60 to get
Austin H while the e55 is great and the tranny and engine are very reliable the air suspension has problems failing and that can be very expensive to replace and I’ve heard that the break system is kinda finicky
@@tipsofme Where can you get a low mileage E55 for $14k? Lol the bubble burst a long time ago...
AL B ehh the dual clutch tranny pretty bad lmao I got mine stuck in 1st gear tryna burnout
She sounds healthy!!! Sick Merc. She sits just right, Thks Zack
7:50 agree with you on that one, went for a ride in a sl55 amg and that engine @2800-3000 rpm when you go full throttle makes such a nice sound, i prefer it over the 6.3 😁
Edit: I hit play again and the owner mentions the 3k rpms sound 😂 sick w211 i forgot to mention!
Glad to see the distinction as the M113 is 5.4L in this case, the 5.5 NA engine is a 4valve coupled with the 7G tronic as it needs the closer ratios.
Not less power than the M5 which came out later so on paper it had to have more, but it's not any faster.
It's not a progressive ratio steering, it's the car leaning so the effect of turning is delayed
I own an 05 C55 and have had zero issues with it. Only 81k miles. Same motor but no super charger. I’d love to own an E55 for a weekend car. C55 is a great daily and sounds exactly the same minus the whine.
Austin H its more reliable too. You dont have to deal with the 2k pully replace once they go wrong (oem)
IIya PimpDaddy and no airmatic suspension and braking issues like the E55. I might drop a M113K in my C55 some day but that will be a few years down the line. Once I have an Accord 2.0T for a daily to replace this and just use my C55 for fun.
I agree 100% with your point about the traction control it's too abrupt.
Definitely not a 2008 Zach.
i know dude , E55 was last made in 2006 if i am not mistaken.
Great video as always. Love that sound! And btw Bluetooth in cars I think came out in 03-04. My father had an 04 Acura TL with Bluetooth that he would hook up to his blackberry lol
Vrp valvebody will solve shifts being a lil slow. But transmission is very strong!
2006 was the last year for the supercharged e class. 2007 and up was the n/a 6.2 in which they labeled it as the e63.
So the 07 e63 isn’t a supercharged engine?
@@carlpatrick9102 no. 2006 was the last year for the e55
Do a review on the new type r. You guys did a track one take but not one in the mountains.
that sound. incredible
14:15 and we still haven't heard his mod list...
Looks are like an NFL linebacker with dadbod. Not that it's a bad thing.
cool dude and the best E class. Dope video!
Had an 05’ I got to 505whp ten years back, but they are a bit outdated now. New one is a 670whp M6 grancoupe. 1 bolt on, pump gas
Easily the best BMW in the last 15 Years!!!
Reliability
One of my favorite Merc’s ever produced. Beautiful machine!👌🏽
2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. The Hellcat before the Hellcat.
That thing is sweet! what a bad ass merc, would love that as a vip cruiser
I can't wait till I get my hands on one, e55 or e63 😍😍🤤
Jash440 same here only got the e350 rn hahaha
Mercedes V-8s sound so damn good. This one especially, Sheesh! Only motors I can think of that sound as good(to me at least) are Chevy LS motors. Especially with a supercharger. But I don't know, Mercedes may have the edge sound wise. My old man has a Tundra with an exhaust alone, and that Toyota 5.7 sounds pretty damn good too. Sound is the main thing is dislike about all of the turbo 6 cylinders nowadays. I know they make good power and some of them sound decent but for the most part you just can't beat the sound of a V-8, especially with a blower.
Mike, axper jan, what a great and clean car you've got there!! Cheers from Yere1
gmartirosyan thank you 🙏
The throttle lag is probably the early drive by wire pedal. My c230 had the same hesitation if you floored it
THAT'S A INCREDIBLE AMG.!!😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You guys have done m5 before but you should do a different one again. Those V10's are epic.
Pushing 510 on mine with 77pulley , long tube no cats , bwk , cooling dtk tune
this is the best Mercedes E class ever
For sure it’s the most beautiful too
@@jlopez1017d absolutely timeless like a four door SLR McLaren haha is that exaggerating to much
Mr. TAMW yeah the new Mercs just don’t have much elegance to them. There’s something about them maybe they’re too rounded
@@jlopez1017d besides them just being absolutely ugly the e class that followed this one how could someone says that looks good that it looks crafted or sculpted it looks like someone in corporate designed them
Those were two cops.
Yep.
Im looking for a E55 here in Germany at the moment. Unfortunately the E55 doesn't sell AT ALL here at the used car market so Im a bit concerned that I will never be able to sell it again...But its a fantastic car!
I bought one (550hp) in Germany, early this year. I dont sell it again. It is not a Car ( as all with lot hp) for people with normal income, except you work yourself on Cars. Expensive in maintaining, insurance, Petrol. In this case , it is better to rent supercars for a day or Weekend. .. and you have to learn to drive such cars properly and safe on real german streets ( I come from 350hp).
Peter Hert Unterhalt ist eher das kleinste Problem. Auch Reparaturen sind bis auf SBC ja ziemlich günstig bei dem Auto. Da ich selber bei Mercedes arbeite eh kein Problem. So ein Auto fährt man ja eh nicht als Daily driver. Ich mach mich nur sorgen dass man selber so doof ist das Auto zu kaufen und es dann nie mehr los wird. Die meisten E55 stehen Monate lang und für wie viel die verkauft werden weiß kein Mensch. Das stört mich an dem Auto.
“It’s really clean in here” as the camera pans past all the pine needles under the hood lol
WOW! That sound!
Fair Matt now e55 prices are going to jump
Nah they are consistent. You still have that German car reliability stigma that sits around. I’d love to take a chance on one of these though.
Sounds mental 👌🏽
“Ooh, Rocks!”
-Clarkson
Dammmm that sound is so powerful and damm fast 😍😍😍
m113k is one of the few bulletproof german engines
I love this video and I love my CLS55 AMG :D
Thanks Zack . Hope you had a good summer...now get back to work dammit. lol
There is a coilover conversion that makes it handle like a boss.
What is it
lmfao of course he used to work at pacific bmw in glendale and now drives an amg thats hilarious. stereotypes are sometimes so ridiculously accurate hahaha
I'm a BMW guy but if I actually wanted a lux v8 big car, AMG all the way.
I currently own a BMW because it’s more affordable but I’d rather have an AMG
I would love to see here a tuned 4.0 V8 tdi or 320 CDI from Merc.
Not many diesels in USA.
Good review
Best sedan from its time.
Did he really said 2008....
I just bought one with the same color combo and interior carbon fiber lol. Now I just need to add mods
Nice car... too bad we didn't get a chance to hear about the modifications 😫
Great looking car do you run stock injectors on the car or did you go for a bigger size injectors..
It was stock injectors. I have another E55 now and that does have upgraded injectors.
It’s dope looking to buy one
The gear was called AMG Speedshift ;)
Is that the Ortega Highway?
At 4:00-4:02 ....did I hear a faulty door lock? Cuz I have that exact issue on my e55 lmfao
Simple spring in the door lock that is cheap and easy to replace
I hope this guy has got better at letting his guests talk and actually listening to what they are saying instead of derailing the point they are trying to make.
Does it still have the resonators?
I just want to know which ceramic coating he has on the windshield?
Bryan Hoefer Avalon King.
I love the e55
Ultimate sleeper
Love this car
Check your motor mounts and transmission mounts - notorious for wearing out and causing vibration
If it's referred to my car they were changed 2 months before with tranny mount.
Bigger injectors, colder plugs??
That shit looks dope
that cut at 7:46 gave me the lolz
Double like for the e46 in the backgroundXDDD
I am interested in buying one of these. My issue is the transmission. Just from the sound it seems to shift very slowly. Car needs a manual gear box.
Na, get it TCU tuned. Trans is built for 700+ whp..
TJ Merry MK Ultra Tune and call it a day. Only tranny tune that actually works really well. I now have a 04 E55 and this one does have a TJ Merry Tune.
Nice car 👌
That car sounds more ‘Murican than some ‘Murican muscle cars!
German muscle car
I was just looking at e55’s and cls55’s still can’t decide
I have a black CLS 55 AMG for sale. 06. 700 HP and.built
Woow What a nice e 55 ;)
This car is absolutely amazing 🤯🤯
I have one but I need to do some work on it. If anyone can help that would be awesome and maybe we can start a UA-cam channel around the car. Encouraging others to get awesome older Benz, but idk I'm just a man dreaming.💯
the owner didn't look to happy when you put your foot down hahaha
I don't do much commenting on UA-cam, especially not suggestions but I do have to say you should circle the car with the camera at the beginning while you're talking about the basics. Matt's videos do this, and honestly your other ones might this is just the first time I've noticed that you didn't.
I gave a g wagon with the same motor, thing is stupid fun to drive but assssss on mpg hahaha
This video is making me pray that I get my 677hp e55 graphite metallic back soon.
www.dynocomp.com/blog/dyno-comp-motors-2006-mercedes-benz-e55-amg/
Hope you didn’t pay that price for the car and really think it’s 677hp to the wheels with those mods
Jay M didn’t say wheel, naw 16k with 70k on odo.
Fajita P* that’s a steal at that price and mileage, congrats
I’m debating whether to move to the AMG darkside as I have the little brother 07 E550 still fast af but I’m leery about insurance costs as my premiums for my E550 is cheap af question for E55 are you guys classified as sports cars for the premium surcharge on the insurance?
Same. I have the S550 and was thinking about getting an S63. The 550 motor is really great though. It’s super fast for what it is and surprises a lot of people. Have you modded you E550?
Tyler Beeson not yet but I have seen tune kits from OE for less than 700 that opens up the throttle response of the car and give you a bit more HP and torque.
I have a 07 E550 as well with O.E Tune. Very smooth motor and it has a slight kick in power just slight when it hits 4000rpms love the way it pulls but still pedal lag regardless of the tune just slightly better.
Stealth 63 I also have the OE Tuning kit on my S550 and it really opened the car up. It’s much faster and will easily light up the rear tires all the way to 50 mph with traction off and a good launch. I got mine on sale and it was like $450 total for the tune and MyGenius upload device. I highly recommend it. But one caveat is you have to have access to a windows computer because the software isn’t compatible with Mac. Used my friends computer and it was relatively painless.
Tyler Beeson glad your happy with it. Makes a nice difference even on a N/A motor. I think I will always keep my E550 and daily it more.
3:30, my engine bay OCD is getting triggered by the leaves
pines, whatever you call em
What a coincidence you uploaded this video, just yesterday one tried to race me.
GTStung Albert would of been a good race 👍
@@poppedaperkyimtweakin1403 would of whooped his ass. Sorry. A stock w211 e55 is capable of high 11's very low 12's in the 1/4 mile. A stock Kia Stinger just break into the 12's if that.
*Alex Palmeri liked this video*
Well, I guess I’m getting an E55. Please pray for me lol.
One of the baddest ass cars I’ve ever owned. Took me a week to find the traction control button then you can whip it around like a vette. I roasted a set of tires off easily.
Did you get it? How is it
that car is so fucking clean man
