    W211s are excellent cars. I have an E55 and just picked up an E500 lowered on coilovers with AMG wheels, E55 front and rear bumpers, and C63 quad tips out back. They’re fun and good looking cars.

    I love your car bro! She was lucky to fall under your ownership. I’m about to pull the trigger on a 06 E500 with 135K miles for $3400. She’s super clean with the exception of a busted up front bumper that I intend to replace. Your video has motivated me even further to be a good steward of her once I pull the trigger.

      @@laqueenawilliams4762I got a 2003 RWD E500 last august, I’ve so far rebuilt the front end (Amazon kit for $250), and have to do some air suspension work in the rear.
      Aside from minor convenience related things, or small light bulbs. She’s been really fun to drive, and has been decent enough on gas.
      I’d recommend you stay away from the 7 speed 4Matic cars as they have transmission issues.
