As a proud owner of w210 e55 I can say with a assurance that this thing is a rocket and definitely going to be a future classic in a couple more years!
I've got a face-lift w210 e55, yes it is a beautiful looking car and pleasure to sit inside with very comfy seats and the sound it makes is undeniably one of the best pieces of music made to date....but, the big but, does it feel fast? No, unfortunately it doesn't, its not bad in a straight line but it just doesn't have that good scary thrill that you expect it feels like more noise and less movement, also around bends it feels wofty and boat like
I have a w202 c43 amg also and whilst power figures are lower it is much more of a pleasure to drive feeling tight and precise perhaps it is tbe weight difference and before any one suggests the under belly of the e55 is practically all new so its not down to worn parts
If I had the choice of doing it again would I buy the e55? Nope, I'd save some more and go for the e39 m5 which yes it is more money but its a whole lot more fun and will appreciate far greater in value also being a manual it adds to the driver experience I have studied both cars well as my uncle owned the e39 m5 for a few years and I was madly in love with it sadly the car is no longer with us a big mistake
I have a pre-merger '99 E55. These cars are already appreciating rapidly.
@@ahmedjabbar7467 Hey Ahmad,loved reading your comment, the t.v. shows always make out every car is just phenomenal as opposed to telling the truth. Back in the 2000's I drove a couple years old one of this model and even as a learner driver ,I couldn't understand what the fuss was all about, like seriously at the time, the Subaru WRX for example was a much more violent push against the seat feeling vehicle than this Benz,look a pro driver can get it going fast ,but it's true ability to most of us is not really accessible to 99.9%of drivers including myself. Cheers Ahmad for your honest opinion.
@@kenlee-97 Exactly that is the reason the E55 is a better daily car. It's a relaxing and incredible sounding way to go fast in. That's what the experience is in that car.
If you like rowing through gears though then don't buy it.
My only regret after getting an E430 is not going for the big AMG E55 🤣
The best Mercedes Benz production car ever made in the history of automobile. Period. What an awesomeness on wheels!
Give us the whole episode!!!! :) We need it!!
The mechanism that allows the wiper to reach into the far corners needs new grease periodically
ok thanks
Yeah I was expecting Ant to apply some lubricant and was disappointed that he didn't, strange.
Thanks for the heads up I got a w210 e320 a week ago.
dad had an e280. ofc not lightning fast but it really feels mercedes inside out. even my dad's current w211 e240 doesnt have the same vibe.. which is why i still miss the w210
I love this Video. I own an e55 now for 2 years. One of the best cars i ever owned
This was my first AMG.
Tempted to get one of these. Great buy these days if you can find a good one.
My favourit Benz is W210 ❤❤
@Luca Frank No one gives a shit. We came to look at a W210 E55AMG, not your ameture hacking excersions.
Reminds me I need to replace the o2 sensors on my w210
Good idea about the cabin filter, I hope yours is easy to get to, I need a contortionist to do mine and they
aren't easy to find., like my cabin filter. Makes a huge difference with a fresh one in place.
About to go test drive one today!
Damn i wish that was my car!! I love it when everythings maintained and working like new :)
Ant ur one of the smartest alive
I just love my E55. For the first time in a while I'm just constantly looking for reasons to drive it. Strong engine & great sound.
I wish everyone would stop bitching in the comments. Ant is doing a great job working on great cars for car enthusiasts. If you can do a better job, start ur own show. Hats off
My favorite car
With some grazed knuckles and an offset socket you can get the front sensors off without dropping the exhaust.
Lots of things can be done simpler and with less commotion than the manuals would have you believe. You're quite right.
Español por favor, gracias. Me gusta la energía con que explica.

Ed was good and so is ant.
Agreed
@Honda 250 I agree, I like both Ed and Ant. I liked Ant on "for the love of cars". I watched wheeler dealers from the start but as you say near the end of Ed it was not as good, it was more about product placement than mechanics. At the start it was much more d.i.y stuff but by the end it was "here's a machine I rented for only £300 a day etc". Plus Mike has progressed from the start by not being too bad, to now being a complete prat.
thanks alot for this video.
I've not seen this in over 6 years
Definitely the first video I thought was really good, we love watching the mechanics BUT we do also love Mike he's clearly a very hard working enthusiastic car guy.
No, he,s a nob
Then watch this: ua-cam.com/video/78yfDOD0-S0/v-deo.html
Chris Marshall Why is he?
Mikes a bitter, back stabbing POS!
Brasil.
Does anyone have a link to the full episode?
I like how on a service they never changed the plugs, even with the magic of television that would make you believe their not too bad of a job. Even though there's 16 of the barstards and the further back you go towards the bulkhead, the harder those little fuckers are to get to and change. That would have been better piece of mind at about £200 for the bits and several hours labour, oh well. It's got all new cabin filters though 😅👍😎.
Ant, why aren't you wearing gloves? Edd wore gloves. I miss Edd ;~\
@Hitman Learn english
@@dibertos you should learn russian to. :))
Cos Edd, was more nicer.
@@zfloz9895 Я немного знаю
Ant why aren’t you Ed?
which episode is this i want the full episode?
Honestly I'm a fan of both Edd and Ant.
Honestly,nobody cares.
@@gavinwyllie7855 You cared enough to comment. Thanks.
I never consider buying a car without checking the windscreen wiper motor gromit.
i dunno edd...this guy is fukking brilliant!!!!!
Only California cars have o2 sensors that don't give a fight.lol
Witch episode is this and what season???
i love w210 and i drive 11 year E240
No one asked.
@@djyems1021 what did you answer then you pos
Is this fleece oil filter?
0:13 does he just tighten the sensor?
L une des plus belles qui et sortie de wellers dealers amg mercos
Drop the exhaust? I have the same car. Very easy to do the upstream O2 sensors from the engine bay. Biggest issue is valve cover leaks and transmission conductor plate.
Transmission Conductor plate? Really? I've never heard that issue in the W210 E55. W211 E350 yes but not W210 E55
@@electric8668 Very common problem for all W210 cars. Luckily the part is much cheaper than for the 7 speed found in the W211 facelift cars.
valve cover is simple job. I found it's hard to remove driver side O2 sensor through engine bay though
Mike is comparing this car with a Mustang GT of the same era. I’m not a Mustang guy, but you have to be mindful the E55 was almost 3x the price. It better be faster.
its also a 4 door luxury sedan
And 3 times the car.
Many more GTs on the road vs these so what does that say about long term reliability plus these aged awful
Faster indeed..and 10x more reliable to boot. I have literally done NOTHING to my e55 in 3yrs except change the oil about 6 times, same with my two e420's before that. The w210 is one of the most underrated cars ever...and I'm glad for it, cause they are easy to obtain and DIY.
@@shinaito These had bulletproof drivetrains and were built in very limited numbers. These aged horribly because of Mercedes cheapening out on rust prevention methods. Mustang GT's were virtually ubiquitous.
Please can you help which seacon is it?
Why is there black tape on the interior light? If it's so it doesn't effect the camera, why not just disable it from the button on the roof console?
Why is he tightening the O2 sensor @ :13? Thought he wanted to removed it lol
W210 is the best
The Best or Nothing
W124 is way better
I miss my white 2001 E55 because it was built like a bank vault had 400lbs of torque and still got 22 mpg! I have seen a few with 250K miles still running well and compared to the W211 E55 which looked and drove like a fast Honda Accord yes it had straight line speed but really nothing else worthy of consideration!
Atom Ant
Got a W219. Best car I ever owned. Fucks up just about any modern car on the road.
Mike is DelBoy
A simple and clever oil filter is the normal oil filter!!! Spin it off and spin a new one on
jason muscat most cars used metal filters Mercedes always used that style the old ones were metal
A simple and clever filter is exactly like the Benz one: easy to reach, no metal housing involved. You actually can see what has been going on in the oil system because of the open filter element and you dont throw away the metal can unneccessaryly each time you change filters.
Love Ant, pure class. He is real quality, and has been since "for the love of cars" Would love a show with him and Edd making odd and 100% hand built cars/sheds. Still cant stand Mike "the snake" B, tough i saw that he had a new show on motortrend app. Only lasted 5 minutes before I had to turn it off. Liked the series with Mark, but it seemed a little too scripted. Elvis has a loyal following, and I fear, Mike did he no favors. Elvis is a smart guy so I guess he wanted it, however it will hurt in 5 years, when Mike will only be remembered for Stabbing his friend in the back, on UA-cam of all places. Big Edd vs. BIG HEAD Brewer. I guess a leopard and its spots would be a perfect analogy here...
Brewers a caaannt
@@shadfaquir4873 Brewer is an enigma. Not cool for sure, but his early work was sound. Now? I cant (caaannt) stand the guy. Sad since he was very good at showing what low-life used car salesmen were like in real world.
And now Elvis is the new mechanic on Wheeler Dealers. Mike has slowly but surely destroyed the Wheeler Dealer franchise.
Is that mike brewer?
Correction! -- "Ant B Services Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG | Wheeler Dealers"
Some of the backlash in recent years has been totally uncalled for. However, it's hard not to notice the numbers associated with this channel. 30k views is a good number for this channel, but there are independent channels doing the same topics with double the subscribers and 10x the viewing figures. This isolated video is much better than the format that involves the fake stories and showmanship but watching some guy fixing cars who has no producers or team behind him is much more entertaining and interesting than WD is now. The format that viewers want is changing.
its easy for an ant to do that get in there and check everything
When I grow I wanna be like Ant with English accent and everything
It isnt English
Full
Where to get the full video?
Netflix
@@chrismarshall7220 Where? I searched & I cant find any WD videos. Thanks
@@E55KEV Season 21 Episode 6 Amazon Prime & Motor Trend Video
@@electric8668 Thanks
I just paid 5K for one w/139k miles. Changed all fluids so far. Needs tires. Slight leak at passenger boot steering rack. Other than that it's a blast so far. Look out for rust. Mine has started in the strut towers, scary
Wow, do the next gen cars have the HEPA filter?
this one got central locking system problem. Door should automatically lock when driving
It's the best e class
Anyone knows what the problem was with rear axle vibrations that he mentiioned?
Ye, he was driving over cobbles
The rubber was damaged
Doesn't show you a great deal compared to the old wd
This new version is so bad. Starting with this new guy. Is so shallow. Can't even watch the episodes anymore. When Edd was in them ,I could even see them 2 or 3 times.
But with this guy ,I'm struggling to even finish one. And I'm doing it for the love of the care, trying to avoid looking at this guy.
Ant isn't the problem, we all know where that is....
It's a American show now, they don't care about interresting stuff. they only like fake shows
MB dealer charges for five minutes work changing those filters probably an hour labour, why black paint and interior half the markets undriveable in summer
I will stick with my W124 :) But yes W210 AMG is lightning fast.
Is it worth buying one of these cars?
Yes, very relaxing drive,
Also goes like he'll.
W223 😏

Eye protection is a must working under a car. Metal sliver in the eye is not fun.
Anyone know the part number of the rubber grommet he replaced?
Can't find one Anyone selling one..
One behind wiper

Wasn't there some badge in the grill at the start or do i remember wrong? Still trying to chase that down.
last proper amg,before got a racing look
I love your show its great viewing .....but how on earth did you get an AMG E55 for 4000 U.S CMON REALLY? In Australia a 2003 model costs nearly a 100000 Aussie..which is what about 70000 U.S .and thats over 100000 kms.It would want to do 4.8s and then some.
Get Ed, he'll fix it
Iv'e had 3 at one time. I love these cars. I currently have 2. One with 105k miles black on black, I'd be willing to sell. lmk if you're interested
Is it located in California?
@@sandyshifers2832 no its in storage in Massachusetts. Im down in Florida at the moment
W210 candır
Mike the snake brewer
Ed China got buffed. OK...
This car in my country price between 35000$ and 40000$
He's talking about an 02??
yeah thats a 2002
O2 (oxygen richness sensor for the engines computer module).
Ever seemed a cracked manifold on any Benz engine
what happened to Ed?
Ran off with Mike's wife
4.8 to 60? That’s the fastest 0-60 time I’ve heard quoted. 5.3 was the standard time.
Mods.
In EU AMG quote 5,3 second with two 75 kg persons on board and full tank of gas that's total of 1940kg. Car without driver weight 1710 kg. In real life this car with 1/4 gas and one person should go under 5 seconds with good Bridgestone or michelin pilot sport tires, beside in EU its 0-100km/h (62,5 mph) and in USA is 0-60mph

Hello everyone, I want to buy a car like this in good condition, preferably white, does anyone have this information?
Wait...whuuuut...no rust?!!!?! xO

You guys cut the part when Mike was funny. Like the part with "Edirp is Pride backwards. I wonder What that means."
Cual sería el nombre del genio que arruinó un gran programa!!
I would subscribe if i could see full episodes... 😐
Ford could take some lessons from Mercedes regarding making services easier!
RUST w210
REDCOW34 I have always wanted one, yet the only reason I have never owned a w210 is, the rust! Specially here in the UK.
yup water based paint and environmental laws were the reason. interestingly the 4matics have held up better rust wise, I believe they were made in different factory
@@SeamHead33 Is that so? My dad had a 4matic and I never saw the rust issues people talk about, maybe that's why?
@@The2Coolest2 its something I've heard before, and ever since then I've noticed the 4matic W210s in general had less or no rust compared to the RWD W210s. Just my personal observation. And I was in northeast so I saw plenty of W210s with rust. I believe the 4matics were made in different factory due to the different drive train, possibly even in Austria and maybe they used different paint process or had different laws/regulations than Germany and maybe thats why their paint held up better
@@SeamHead33 Interesting! I'm in the Northeast as well. I'll try to read up on it. Unfortunately Hurricane Sandy destroyed my dads. I tried to track it down for fun but turns out it got exported to Eastern Europe (I believe someone there won it online at an insurance auction).
simple cleaver and oil housing is all dirty haha
Its just come to me, who he reminds me of ! Griff Rhys Jones, wheeler dealers without Ed is like Top Gear without Clarkson, may and hammond !
It’s the way he talks.
That was so good Mike..and yes they are quick..even drivn at 160mph feels like a Sunday drive,day out .nothing really happening at all,talk quietly,eat a sandwich,cuppa coffee,G.F. soozes,average 100 mph in every hour including fuel stops and not wake her.!! Now that's a car.!
Türkçe dublaj olsa çok iyi olurdu
Ant is a very good mechanic but what he does doesn't encourage you to do it at home like Edd did.
Because the production company wanted to appease the American market so all his on screen time is so short. Not Ants fault.
Bring back EDD CHINA!!
