  • In this video I cover the pros/cons of each of the Mercedes-Benz W211 AMG eclass cars and will help guide you when choosing between the two cars on the used market. The E55 vs. E63 question is one of the most popular questions I get in the comments. The E55 AMG ran from 2003-2006 and the E63 went from 2007-2009.

    E63 is the car to choose, if you want to listen to that amazing naturally aspirated V8 while limping it into the shop all the time.

      @ki0ng Not that difficult but not very easy either. This video covers everything in detail:
      m.ua-cam.com/video/zJO1qNnhxw4/v-deo.html
      It involves draining the coolant, locking the cams, pulling the belt etc etc so I don't recommend changing them by yourself if you don't have any experience.

    Nice, real, and fair evaluation for both of the cars . I owned an E 55T and now an E 63T . What I would add: The E63 has a much firmer and saver suspension . May be not that important for the US, but here in Germany, where you legally can go 186 mph on the street ( both cars are able to) the E 63 will prevent you from sweat in the hands. The E 55 will need an experienced driver
    to handle it savely above 160 mph.

    Nice comparison video. I would choose the E63 because I really like the facelift and the technical upgrades over the E55. I know that it suffers from the head bolt issue and I think the fuel injectors as well but the E63 suits me fine with 507 naturally aspirated horse power.

    great video as always, man. i will always choose the e55 as it's much cheaper to modify as far as power mods go. the NA power is insignificant and combined with the engine problems like the head bolts I always hear about is a big minus. i think an e55 with e63 bumpers and lights would be my ultimate w211.

    It's all about the heart, in this case the engine. M113K has long been proven to be bulletproof. As opposed to M156 with head bolt issues and cam wear issues. Not to mention the performance upgrades available for the 55k platform. Lastly I'm starting to notice that they're asking more money for a clean E55 than a clean E63 with about the same miles.

    Just bought my E55. Absolutely love the car. Drove a couple of E63’s just decided the E55 fits my needs or wants better.
