Dude, you've driven so many rare and insane cars. Crazy
Im a simple guy.

I WATCH
he needed doug for this wagon crazyness
Uhlalaphi ndoda?

There’s just something about an E class wagon, especially an AMG. My choice for sure.
And that M113k 😍
@@wailfaridi2070 a rare beast.
Only 193 of those E55 wagons were sold in the US
Same for me, always love AMG wagons.
What’s really impressive is all 3 of these cars made it to the finish line without chewing their own engines up
The mercedes engine is pretty durable. I never read bad things about it.
yeah it's not a coincidence they're so cheap, you're eventually gonna put at least twice as much money into repairs
the E55’s engine is known to be bulletproof
@@jackbauer4607 it's cheaper only because it looks much older than BMW or audi and also bcs of gearbox. Engine is super good in merc
I think that the most problematic thing on the E55 was it's suspension...
Audi RS6 is real MONSTER;) congratulations Mat
The M5 E61 needs a driver upgrade
isn't gonna do much the smg gearboxes were horrid
The gearbox is shit the driver can’t do anything about it
Nope it's just too slow nowadays 500hp is nothing
These can launch must better than what was shown. The conditions aren't exactly ideal. Its pretty wet on the road, hence the poor performance. The e60s can run a 12.5 quarter mile
@@dennismichealsm3786 you must be mental if you think that 500hp is NoThInG
Mercedes E 55 AMG did really good job with 476 hp 👏🏻 👍🏻🚀
The 2000s was the golden era for cars
The 90s would like a word...I may not have been old enough to drive any of the 90s cars but I'll take a McLaren F1 over anything from the 00s. Also hot hatches were more fun and supercars were at their best (Diablo, F355, Pantera, Atlantique, etc). No super estates though, so the 90s were more fun but these are pretty awesome...still, Lotus Carlton every time.
@@ApothecaryTerry Early 2000s with the Ferrari’s, mclaren mercedes and porsche
@@Akm_699 Exactly Carrera GT, Enzo, Pagani zonda etc that was the golden era over the 90s
Not for all, Renault Peugeot and Citroën were doing shit at that time. Especially Renault.
@@jaylam don't forget the Lexus SC400 a real sleeper
That M5 is glorious. Definitely the most valuable car there. ❤
this looks so much more interesting than the new cars !
I still love that E55 estate! That car is a beast. Looking to get one and hit some upgrades on it to see how it fairs on autobahn, lol
Love my e55 sedan it really has alot of torque everyone that drives with my has a bit of the feeling of being in a rollercoaster
Keep it stock, these kind of AMGs arr getting more rare by the time
Owner of a w210 and it’s the best ngl
It’s fast high torque and it smokes gtrs for breakfast too bad the mechanic was too lazy to import some suspensions from Germany and I had to sell it for a cheap Nissan Maxima
I own a Renntech E55 with around 600hp. It's an animal.
@@firefighterps2 man you’re leaving the life!!
The Mercedes fans are here? W211😍 i'm so proud
Yes the beauty of the car w211 from 2002 to 20007
The W211 55AMG wagon 💞
💓Personal dream car💓
Heell yeah my traumwagen
This is T211
@@razvanungurean9690 hai frate că ne-am prins, e w211 T Model:))). E mai bine?:))))
The SBC brake on the E55 really does its job!
I knew the rod bearing issue would be mentioned 😂 the m5 sounds mint
The E55 made me proud 😍 Thats such a beautiful car after 20 years! The BMW sounded great and the Audi is also a nice machine ❤👌🏼
Stolzer Gzuz Fan 😂
Day 67 of asking for a bicycle race between mat and yan👍🏾
We need this ASAP
😂😂😂
Ta gueule
Can we start another with "Mat don't always choose the fastest car"
I said it like 2 years ago he replied saying he would 🤣🤣 he hasn't
Tbh m5 never had their 507hp but the engine is a dream this high rev v10, with a proper Gearbox it should have a chance against the Merc. But Audi with most power and 4wd is out of the competition.
All day long, every single time you ask rs6 c6, beast of a beast, love it
These 3 cars are my Dream cars. I really love fast (german) wagons.
I know I am weird
You are not alone❤️
u are not weird. performance wagons are loved by a lot of people..especially if u like these older wagons from the golden age makes u even cooler.
@@ndr3w_b_812 yes, I don't really like the futuristic look of new cars. Also I'm not really into sportscars
@@maneskinkeesje5765 modern cars look outrageously over the top, they're bigger also 😡😤
older looks natural 👌
ur not weird, these performance wagons do make the most sense because you can have fun with them and are also very practical for family use
what an upload! e61 M5 is just heaven, if it's working...
Reliability- Mercedes 55 M113K
Sound - Mercedes 55
Comfort- Mercedes 55
3:21 Matt Watson: "alagda"
Watson's face when the M5 comes screeching and sliding past @10:32 was hilarious!
Its amazing how you can get legendary engines with that budget prices
Legendary for their unreliability and running costs, not for their performance tho
budget price, extortionate maintenance. money pits.
@@TheDoosh79 at least that amg is reliable
@@opposedrocket3Not the amg the m113k is gonna be with you for at least 30 years
The e55 has legendary build quality and performance. There's an autobann video that came out recently that showcases how fast the car is. That m5 is rare as hens teeth.
AMGs always sound amazing!
@Ouchwitz Book Binding Emporium haha :D
M5 sound is better than your amg
@Ouchwitz Book Binding Emporium wtff you throw shit bro
@@algerinodz8530 at least it’s 1000x more reliable and better looking 😌
That v10 sound 🤤🤤
That was fun drag, i like to see more of these old performance wagons.
Uuuuuhhh nooooooiiiice! The awesome nostalgia in this one, well done.
This one is the best Carwow race video to me so far...
2:58. Sounds like one of those early 2000 Vipers
Not at all
Because it has a V10 like the Viper
@@yigit5269 Still not...
@@sylvaind.6786 Yeah ik that a Viper Sounds different
@@sylvaind.6786 Actually it does but just detuned…
I think this trio is the peak of automotive combustion engined cars. This would be my dream garage trio.
love the sound of those 3 states going together
Would love to see w211 e55 vs w212 e63 vs w213 e63s
+W211 e63
The Mercedes w211 have e63 amg 514hp, it's a nice comparison w211 e63 amg VS w211 e55 amg
Pretty sure the SMG was not set into Stage 6. For this you need to disable the traction control (DSC button short push)
He doesn't get to use the s6 because the ABS sensor is not working🙄 Exactly the same with my e61 m5🤦♂️
And M5 CS is killer of all now.Beema power.
Good run Matthew
I love these kind of videos, I just wish at the start we had the stats for all cars on the screen at the same time, for a proper side by side comparison!
Would love if you featured the q7 v12 tdi in a drag race at some point
I still would take the E61 M5
Is e60 series estate stock m5? If so I have never seen one in uk only the loons
@@lights0ut503 yes stock
The e55 is super fast, handles nicely, outbrakes everything, and will give you that performance for 300k miles or more. Mercedes ftw
That M5 sounds beautiful... always loved that sound!
sounds best with akrapovic exhaust
@@verliebt3465 holy crap I can only imagine!!
@@camliv78 there aree videos on youtube, sounds about the same as a lexus LFA
@@verliebt3465 Most of those vids are with a fake Akrapovic exhaust as Akrapovic never officially made one for the E60 M5 just the M6. I actually have a custom made one from Akra and yes...sounds absolutely awesome.
