This was a fun day for me, Zack was a super nice and appreciate he's input and taking my car out for a spin. I sold the E55 to buy a E63 which I now have.

Transporting it because he is worried about it making an 8hr drive is hilarious. It's in your head dude, I drive mine freaking everywhere it's dead nuts reliable.

My friend owned a 2005 one of these I think. When he put it up for sale someone asked if trades are ok and my friend replied “depends on the car”. Long story short they tried to trade a 2015 Nissan Versa for the E55.

Wonderful vid. M113 - best engine ever made. Mine has 292k and still running like hell 👍🏻 ✌🏻

I own a 2003 E55. 133,000 miles and still running strong💪

yes finnaly a w211 e55

"Sounds like a couple of mustangs arguing in a tunnel"

the best E class AMG imo, even better as a wagon

Damnit everyone keeps making videos of these and the prices is slowly rising

In person, this car whine’d like a pulley’d Eaton 03-04 Cobra. Sounded pretty good.

This Car , when you can drive it properly, gives a lot of goosebumps and smiles. But It can scare you sometimes also. I will never sell our E55K. (Germany).

Ugh, I love these. Definitely one of my favorite AMG cars.

I've got a 04 E55K 7 seater Estate. Absolutely love it. Sounds amazing, immense torque but super comfy seats and air ride. New ones are too stiff cheaper interior and rock hard seats .

This thing came out during my sophmore year in HS. Quite literally my favorite AMG car. Sounds so darn good.

I keep coming back to watch this video! I found a well maintained 2 owner E55 with under 100k miles about 2 years ago and have been slowly replacing the suspension bushings, flex discs, mounts etc. and did an i/c pump upgrade and a VRP clutched 77mm blower pulley w/RaceIQ tune. I’m looking for some long tubes headers and going to do 550lph injectors, a looped fuel rail and 80mm t/b and ported blower inlet while I’m in there. Since COVID I have only put 9000 miles on it and I get all of my maintenance parts from FCP Euro and just did an oil change, conductor plate and fluid service so I hope to keep it forever and have already turned down random people offering to buy it!

The E55 is a 200mph sedan for $12/$14k lol

I’ve been looking at these for a while on eBay also loved the CLS 55 amg

If there’s been one odd obsession I’ve had with a car I never owned it’s this bad boy. Ultimate daily with an attitude. Glorious exhaust note out of that v8, pretty quick, super comfy and roomy for yourself and passengers. And best of all, extremely affordable right now. I add a lot of power to my cars so I always stuck with Audi for its AWD traction but was always tempted by this baby. Great review👍

Back again on that great Channel. The W211 model is the best E-Class ever made by Mercedes Benz. I own one of the first models built in 2002 with now 300K Kilometers. M113 is a real beast-machine. This car will never getting old. It's timeless...

Definitely not a 2008 Zach.

im shocked it got alot of views, best car I've ever owned. Miss it, thanks Zack for taking the time to review it 🙏. I would love to buy a white one one day again.

im starting to really enjoy Zack doing those one takes. I also love the fact that he really take time for the Guess.. thanks Zack

I own an 05 C55 and have had zero issues with it. Only 81k miles. Same motor but no super charger. I’d love to own an E55 for a weekend car. C55 is a great daily and sounds exactly the same minus the whine.

Had my 04 for a year at this point. Done lots of maintenance and a few repairs as I noticed things but overall very pleased.

you're spot on, Zack. That vintage of Mercedes in general had super progressive steering. I actually love it.

She sounds healthy!!! Sick Merc. She sits just right, Thks Zack

2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. The Hellcat before the Hellcat.

I agree 100% with your point about the traction control it's too abrupt.

7:50 agree with you on that one, went for a ride in a sl55 amg and that engine @2800-3000 rpm when you go full throttle makes such a nice sound, i prefer it over the 6.3 😁 Edit: I hit play again and the owner mentions the 3k rpms sound 😂 sick w211 i forgot to mention!

2006 was the last year for the supercharged e class. 2007 and up was the n/a 6.2 in which they labeled it as the e63.

Great video as always. Love that sound! And btw Bluetooth in cars I think came out in 03-04. My father had an 04 Acura TL with Bluetooth that he would hook up to his blackberry lol

I own an E500 and every single day someone approaches me and says wow.. nice car man! It is a timeless design.

Those were two cops. Yep.

that sound. incredible

Vrp valvebody will solve shifts being a lil slow. But transmission is very strong!

Glad to see the distinction as the M113 is 5.4L in this case, the 5.5 NA engine is a 4valve coupled with the 7G tronic as it needs the closer ratios. Not less power than the M5 which came out later so on paper it had to have more, but it's not any faster. It's not a progressive ratio steering, it's the car leaning so the effect of turning is delayed

14:15 and we still haven't heard his mod list... Looks are like an NFL linebacker with dadbod. Not that it's a bad thing.

“It’s really clean in here” as the camera pans past all the pine needles under the hood lol

Do a review on the new type r. You guys did a track one take but not one in the mountains.

That thing is sweet! what a bad ass merc, would love that as a vip cruiser

lmfao of course he used to work at pacific bmw in glendale and now drives an amg thats hilarious. stereotypes are sometimes so ridiculously accurate hahaha

I can't wait till I get my hands on one, e55 or e63 😍😍🤤

THAT'S A INCREDIBLE AMG.!!😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

this is the best Mercedes E class ever

Mike, axper jan, what a great and clean car you've got there!! Cheers from Yere1

Did he really said 2008....

cool dude and the best E class. Dope video!

Mercedes V-8s sound so damn good. This one especially, Sheesh! Only motors I can think of that sound as good(to me at least) are Chevy LS motors. Especially with a supercharger. But I don't know, Mercedes may have the edge sound wise. My old man has a Tundra with an exhaust alone, and that Toyota 5.7 sounds pretty damn good too. Sound is the main thing is dislike about all of the turbo 6 cylinders nowadays. I know they make good power and some of them sound decent but for the most part you just can't beat the sound of a V-8, especially with a blower.

WOW! That sound!

“Ooh, Rocks!” -Clarkson

Fair Matt now e55 prices are going to jump

Had an 05’ I got to 505whp ten years back, but they are a bit outdated now. New one is a 670whp M6 grancoupe. 1 bolt on, pump gas

Great looking car do you run stock injectors on the car or did you go for a bigger size injectors..

You guys have done m5 before but you should do a different one again. Those V10's are epic.

Pushing 510 on mine with 77pulley , long tube no cats , bwk , cooling dtk tune

Thanks Zack . Hope you had a good summer...now get back to work dammit. lol

Does it still have the resonators?

One of my favorite Merc’s ever produced. Beautiful machine!👌🏽

I just want to know which ceramic coating he has on the windshield?

There is a coilover conversion that makes it handle like a boss.

Dammmm that sound is so powerful and damm fast 😍😍😍

I love this video and I love my CLS55 AMG :D

Sounds mental 👌🏽

Nice car... too bad we didn't get a chance to hear about the modifications 😫

Good review

"It's really really clean in here, it's really nice" pans to the corner of the hood full of straw

I love the e55

At 4:00-4:02 ....did I hear a faulty door lock? Cuz I have that exact issue on my e55 lmfao

I just bought one with the same color combo and interior carbon fiber lol. Now I just need to add mods

what is car petrol mileage on city as well as highway?

Best sedan from its time.

The gear was called AMG Speedshift ;)

It’s dope looking to buy one

Im looking for a E55 here in Germany at the moment. Unfortunately the E55 doesn't sell AT ALL here at the used car market so Im a bit concerned that I will never be able to sell it again...But its a fantastic car!

m113k is one of the few bulletproof german engines

I would love to see here a tuned 4.0 V8 tdi or 320 CDI from Merc. Not many diesels in USA.

Which year and type of e55amg is this?

Love this car

The throttle lag is probably the early drive by wire pedal. My c230 had the same hesitation if you floored it

that cut at 7:46 gave me the lolz

That car sounds more ‘Murican than some ‘Murican muscle cars!

This car is absolutely amazing 🤯🤯 I have one but I need to do some work on it. If anyone can help that would be awesome and maybe we can start a KZfaq channel around the car. Encouraging others to get awesome older Benz, but idk I'm just a man dreaming.💯

how did u lower it that low is it stock air suspension?

Is that the Ortega Highway?

Ultimate sleeper

I’m debating whether to move to the AMG darkside as I have the little brother 07 E550 still fast af but I’m leery about insurance costs as my premiums for my E550 is cheap af question for E55 are you guys classified as sports cars for the premium surcharge on the insurance?

the owner didn't look to happy when you put your foot down hahaha

what route in angeles forest is this?

I would take a E55 over an E60 M5 or the E63, more comfortable, more power potential with the supercharger, and more reliable especially then the M5, that V10 is a basket case waiting to happen.

I hope this guy has got better at letting his guests talk and actually listening to what they are saying instead of derailing the point they are trying to make.

Bigger injectors, colder plugs??

Haha, I couldn't hold myself back, they at 1:45 of this video you start talking about car, you say " 2008 E55" they didn't make E55 that year, E55 is 2003-2006 only, anything up is E63.

Woow What a nice e 55 ;)

That shit looks dope

I was just looking at e55’s and cls55’s still can’t decide

Nice car 👌

3:30, my engine bay OCD is getting triggered by the leaves

All cars are starting to look the same because of regulations and financials. There is an optimal shape for each car, whether it's a two-door sedan, a four-door saloon, crossover, truck, or SUV. Car companies have to comply with a lot of regulations. Then there is the question of making money. Developing and bringing to market new cars is an expensive proposition, and car companies are dealing with skinny margins. All these factors combined mean that cars are looking more alike. In the old days, all you had to have was a glimpse of a car and you could identify it. Sometimes now you have to take a doubletake to figure out if you're looking at Land Rover or Kia. I think we're entering the last decade or two of cars as we know them. ICEs will be replaced by EVs, and car ownership will change.

I am interested in buying one of these. My issue is the transmission. Just from the sound it seems to shift very slowly. Car needs a manual gear box.

Double like for the e46 in the backgroundXDDD
