- In this video, I cover the differences between the CLS55 AMG and the E55 AMG in the w219 and w211 body styles. The CLS is the sportier sedan, but it has a few drawbacks such as less space for rear passengers.

Those cars are almost 15 years old and still look perfect. Edit, I have a 08 63, only lowered a bit with the oem 2 piece five spoke split wheels and flush spacers. What. A. Look. Truly one of a kind cars. The original trend setter for the fast back sedan.
Because they look classic timeless
Got Damn right. Never age!
They are 13 yrs old
Took me 13 years to get mine. The only thing I regret is not getting my CLS 55 sooner.
Christopher Michalski what year? How’s the reliability?
I had the E for 3 years. And it scared the shit out of me every day. Unbelievable that it's still getting the special attention that it deserves 15+ years later. Beast.
What scared?
SBC Brake?
Why did it scare you again?
@@obitog5974 Probably cause it was too fast
Rwd is scary😊
Nice video. I went with the CLS55 but both are amazing vehicles. IMO the CLS is one of the most beautiful 4 doors ever designed. I preferred the CLS interior and I have found the stock exhaust note in the CLS to be more aggressive than the E55 and I can run 305's in the back without issue. That said.......no doubt that the E55 has better interior space, especially in the back, has better visibility (CLS A pillars are HUGE and I always have to double check my sight lines) and is more of an evil sleeper, especially the wagon. Either way you can't go wrong. The M113K will go down as one of the best combustion engines. The endless torque always puts a huge smile on my face.
MrSnowford the dash on the CLS looks more modern and the exterior is jaw droppingly gorgeous. Every time I see a CLS it always commands my attention, it’s just beautiful. The prefacelift (55 models) are the best looking imo.
MrSnowford how would you compare the second gen cls to cls of that gen? W212 E to w218 CLS both with the facelifts, for example?
i remember seeing a cls back in '06 i was like WTF IS THAT??...that design was something special even better than the s class
I know right, exactly what i think. Nothing against S-Class. But those lines are downright unparrallelled..
CLS55 is simply the winner
Michael Arone how would you compare the second gen cls to cls of that gen? W212 E to w218 CLS both with the facelifts, for example?
No
Simply the loser.
Cls allday I let the wife have the house and kids but that cls coming with daddy
Duke a man of culture
E55 AMG because i love W211!!! ❤️🙏🏼
The CLS is by far, at least to me, one of the best designed cars of the 21st century. It still looks stunning today. PS: even although the CLS is a four door it's classed as a coupé and as such it's C219 and not W219 🙂
It's like you know what's in my head and then you upload a video about it
Never really been a fan of the W219's looks up until recently. Then you post a great video about it and now I'm smitten
Ran Dom how would you compare the second gen cls to cls of that gen? W212 E to w218 CLS both with the facelifts, for example?
CLS55 is a timeless car. With the right wheels they are absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been looking for a nice example to buy for the last 2 months.
You are absolutely right, the shape of cls is classy and timeless. Love the lines and glory of the 219 body
Dale Doback how would you compare the second gen cls to cls of that gen? W212 E to w218 CLS both with the facelifts, for example?
Bought a CLS 55 after watching this video, always loved E55s but this time I went for the CLS
How's it going so far?
@@Texas_Cruiser Spent over $7k in maintenance, not a cheap car!
@@siwon66what did you get done?
Still have it?
CLS! currently own one and is one of the most amazing vehicles I've ever owned!
Rudy Salazar how would you compare the second gen cls to cls of that gen? W212 E to w218 CLS both with the facelifts, for example?
I had the W220 AMG for roughly 3 years and i miss it every day. it was every bit as clean as the cars in this video. sadly the hydraulic suspension was too troublesome compared to the air suspension of the W211 and W219. The M113K is a great motor, and I vow to own one of these 2006 AMG sedan models again someday.
I think the CLS looks better but here in Germany the insurance costs for the CLS are double the costs of the E55. So I guess I’ll go for an E55 next year! Can’t wait!
JustinsSupercars how would you compare the second gen cls to cls of that gen? W212 E to w218 CLS both with the facelifts, for example?
double the insurance from the e55 to the cls holy shit thats crazy, i have a cls55 here in the us
Hast du schon einen E55 AMG ?
As a former CLS55 AMG Owner my opinion is clearly unbiased when saying the CLS is the better car :) Also If you live somewhere with bad roads i.e. New York I'd recommend budgeting for a set of aftermarket rims because those factory 19inch ones will bend and crack constantly.
I own cls 500 and thats the best thing that has ever happened to me. The car gets attention everywhere even though it’s 15 y.o.
The e55 for me, I'm afraid; a tad more room and a less edgy design. Both are great cars though...
Okey Ezeilo .... fosho
Both are ridiculously cool!
Great video as usual! Deciding factor for me was seating for 5 and finding an initially clean enough AMG to buy.
Proud owner of a cls55 amg.
I love it the torque the power.
The looks the driving experience
C219... love mine and I hope it stays in my garage for many many years.
Love the collection especially the CLS 55 because of the distinct look, but the rest are beautifully done... thanks for sharing this vid.
I have IWC spacial edition Cls55.
Hold on to it, it's going be a classic.
Do you have the watch??
😍, is that the one with the gold/metallic leather? They’re gorgeous.
@@AMGmeister It's not in clean condition though. I feel that they've done something to the engine it feel a bit more powerful than the regular Cls55 amg but I'm not sure about that.
@@LegitStreetCars no I don't have it. I'm not the first owner of the car and maybe one day I need to bring it all the way to your garage.
Had my CLS 55 for 12 years. Should have kept it. Very special car.
Cls 19" stock wheels on e55, perfection.
i do not have a mercedes but i subbed because i am looking into buying one. i also enjoy your content keep up the good work!!!!
*the CLS55 LOOKS so much different than any other car on the road.*
So hard to choose, but I think I’m leaning towards the E55.
I'd say the E55 is the more 'sensible' choice
Can you do something about the S55 please?
Rotary_Tyrant like that the ABC suspension is ridiculously expensive to keep in working order?
Ben Artee liKe tHaT yOu cAn’T aFfOrD iT?
Awesome videos man. Super informative and extremely thorough. Very well researched. Thanks a million! Really helpful!
CLS all day long. It will still look good 5 years from now, whereas the E55 looks outdated since 5 years ago
An IWC CLS55 was for sale near me quite recently for a really good price and I didn’t buy it because I’m a moron 😅 I did end up with a mint E55 though so I’m not too upset.
Got CLS 55 with 63 AMG packaging. It's a bullet! 😍 Now I'm gonna modify a bit to make the rocket 🚀 from this beast! 😍😍
Im blessed i have a 2006 cls55 amg at 16 years old
the j30 was the first to do the sloping roof thing. however benz was the first to do it aggressively.
I believe the reason that design became so popular was the main Designer who developed that body style, actually did bounce to other manufacturers, he went to Audi, Hyundai, Bmw as well.
Currently have a 2007 cls550 love it !
I have a 2010 cls550...absolutely love it!!! Just purchased 76k miles 1 owner.❤
There is no such thing as a 2010 Cls55, u must be talking about Cls63
@@AlexHernandez-xh8ei damn its a typo..cls 550
I just bought my 4th CLS last week ; I will keep buying them until they take my license away or the designers make a mess out of the car ! One thing I don't like is my 2006 was 190.3 ft. long and the new 2020 are 199.1 ft. long. They are beginning to mess with the car. If people don't like the smaller rear seat then tell them to buy an S-Class !
yeah too many compromises are being done, different models start to blend into one. This is happening with almost every car maker.
I love both. I originally sought an E55 and was disappointed I couldn’t find a good one around when I was ready to buy. A dealer introduced me to the CLS55 and I was educated on how they are mostly the same car which is what I ultimately bought a great mint example in factory original condition. I do like that the cls is a more rare and very attractive design however I still want to swipe up an E55 as I feel these are to become really great collector cars.
the cls is the collector car not the e55
Is yours a 2006 CLS55? Do you still have it? I'm currently checking one out and your thoughts on what I should look out for will be greatly appreciated. By the way does your car (AMG's) come with the SBC Brake System? Did you modify or upgrade them? Thanks!
The style was started by the rover p5 wayyy before the cls. Then a Nissan held the 4 door coupe designation also.
Excellent comparison video.
The cls is by far the more interesting car
I have a CLS 350 cdi it has loads of power, that amg version must go like a rocket.
ian gee wish the US market had cls in diesel. That’d be the perfect daily lol
Another solid video with a great topic!
Difference from cls63 and cls55?
Another great video of these excellent AMG machines!
I hear these cars are either good for mechaníque shoppe or junkyard is that true?
I’d choose the E55 😉
Both are beautiful
Cls55 body is sweet..
Just saw an IWC on offer today for 50K €....I guess I'll just go for a mint '06 E55 with full service history for 20K or so...crazy tbh
Duh cls 55 amg without a doubt. 100% more attractive
1 month ago I sold my cls55 after 7 years of ownership :( this video makes me miss it...I did however stay with the 4 door coupe design and bought a m6gc
FJF2007 how would you compare the second gen cls to cls of that gen? W212 E to w218 CLS both with the facelifts, for example?
I still have a cls love the body to this day beautiful cars
I have a 2012 cls 63 amg and the car just ages well it still pulls hard the steering is tight and the suspension is holding up well kudos to amg
Cls55 still looks so good
I have an 06 E55 and love the CLS!! They catch my eye everytime I see one drive by. Quick question, the black E55 in the vid, what rims are those and do you know the tire specs? Thanks
2 best looking mercedes, i have 2008 e 220cdi avantgarde, and now cls500 2005 booth amazing
My cars picture was used at 2:05😂. It’s the presidential edition I think there’s only 12 made, that’s another rare car too along with IWC edition.
Good review bro
I like both, great video!
That black CLS is GOALS!
Spanish Banks...beautiful spot, gotta love Vancouver
What are those rims on the CLS55? 🔥
Great video, thanks the information 👍
Most beautiful collection 👍👍
What wheels are those on the black E55?
i cant choose between the w211 e 63 amg or the cls55 :(
The CLS 55 is the best choice!
I use cls63
amgmeister can u do a video on the history of cls 500 550 55amg reliability and so forth? would LOVE!!! i love all your vids bro keep up great work im 06 e55 amg owner
E55 all day ❤️❤️ Sedan gang 🤤
Those wheels on the CLS are amazing, and I'm an OEM guy.
Daz PWC do you know what kind of wheels those are?
When your friend says that a cls 350 is a real amg because it has the amg appearance baggage...
Neighter of them CL55 AMG w215
Just found ur channel, Binging on your vids
As someone who have a W211 and had experience dailying a W219, get the W219 only if you don't have tall friends. CLS's back seat comfort is abysmal for anyone that's over the height of 170cm and is only a 4 seater comparing to a 5 seater. That's the price you pay for looking sleeker I guess.
Cls55 is also 200 lbs heavier I think right?
The CLS55 is heavier, but if the E55 you are comparing to has the panoramic roof option, the weight will be pretty similar.
I think the e55 has a better designed front end whereas the cls55 has a better rear end. I like them both and would be happy for either.
CLS is such an icon!
Great vid. Can you do one about other Mercedes with the 55 engine?
The CLS has faster lap times on race tracks. That's important to mention.
Please we need and wish videos about gle Coupe 63s
Cls of course no doubt
E55 one word. SLEEPER!
Need a recommendation, having 32k need to drive during German winter as well. Daily car. Fuel usage doesnt matter. C63amg? W205 or 2013?
I go for E55
I have a w211 e550 and was thinking about upgrading to the e55 but also liked the cls55, I don’t know 🤔
Class is such a great car, with great features, love mines🤗😍
Benz mafia worldwide 🌐
What type people of wheels and what size and offset tire size and any other specifics for the wheels that are on the CLS 55?
u make go cls 🙌
I love driving my CLS 55
In Midnight Club 3 😔
Man that was very cool and the look of all of them ✌👍😎
What are the wheel specs on the black e55? They do look spot on. Fit perfectly, even without the e63 front! Nice video, as always!
They are CLS55 AMG stock wheels from the CLS in this video. They are a wide fit on the E55 with 25 offset front and 28 offset rear. It rubs just a bit in the back even with smaller 275 tires.
AMGmeister do you happen to know which wheels are on the CL 55??
That esprit at 1:29 tho 🤤
Can you make more videos about CLS 55AMG?
We love it how you present E55, will appreciate also CLS. I want to buy one but not sure about costs and expenses. Should i consider it 1:1 to E55?
Yes, the same. The CLS55 is essentially the same car (as the E55) underneath, with some minor improvements.
I love your Mercedes videos
For me cls55 am in my car 95 percent along & for sure 100 percent no one riding in my back seats.
How is this even a question? W219 is a masterpiece and W211 is Harry Potter before becoming wizard and rich :D
