I had a 2005 E55 AMG. It was the best car I ever owned.

Man I Love the E55. Great car and the greatest engine I guess Mercedes ever built. Keep it running. It’s already a true classic.

Best 7 things you can do with this car are 1: fit a larger inter cooler for the supercharger, 2: Split the cooling system, 3: Upgrade the intercooler pump, 4: Fit a 77mm clutched pulley, 5: Fit 550cc injectors, 6: Get a tune (Eurocharged, VRP, German Muscle etc etc), 7: 1 step colder plugs. That will give you the best price to performance ratio - assuming you do the work yourself you'd be into it for about $2,000 to $2,500. I went a little further with short headers and a 92mm throttle body but really the cost of those and having them fitted was not worth the gain. Oh and get the supercharger serviced as well. Great fucking car.

I bought a 2 owner, low mileage one 3 years ago and did all of the 100k mile maintenance and have done an upgrade whenever something breaks. I added a VRP 77mm pulley with an unrestricted tune when the blower pulley bearing failed and did a split cooler and secondary intercooler when the s/c pump started getting noisy. I did BC adjustable coilovers when one of the front struts failed last year. It has developed a small exhaust leak which is probably a cracked manifold so she is getting a set of catted long tube headers in the spring and I recently discovered MK Ultra which makes tuned TCUs that make it shift much better than the slow, soft, factory shifts from the 722.6 that has made a night and day difference in the response and shift crispness. Not a cheap car to own my any means but if you do your own work and shop around for the best prices they are worth it to have nearly 500hp sleeper that nobody sees coming. 😉

Bro I love your energy with this review, I'm subscribing. Had a non amg, but always wanted to own an amg version of this w211 mb e class . You've talked me into it, thanks

This car a beast, i drove it in 2005 and was shocked at the power of a factory car.

Good information I have one thank you

In 2014 i purchased a 2004 platinum blue e55 with 82k miles for $12,500 and i daily drove it for 3 years, sold it at 96k miles, bullet proof motor and transmission, only issue i had was the front air matic shocks, which i replaced with arnott shocks. Such a great car, I’m looking to purchase another one and get bc coilovers to eliminate the air matic issue and for better handling.

True facts!

Great review Damian, I recently purchased a 2004 model which is an absolute minter. Here in Australia we have to pay way more than 10 grand.

You can buy them for $20k here in NZ which is roughly around $10k USD

W211 E class was the best car I ever owned. About to pay off my Audi A4 then I’m gonna buy an E 55 cash and mod it up how I want

love this car, seems so fun to drive but they going up in price

What is the exhaust setup on this car? It sounds perfect!

Renntech for the gap sauce 😎

your the first person i saw start a Mercedes Benz correctly turn the key and release the key dont twist and hold 🙄 i hate when people do that

How different is driving e55k on coil overs? Do you prefer coil overs vs airmatic? Thanks

I've got an '06 E55 with 75k on the clock. I don't think I'll ever sell her!

Something is wrong with the stance I belive... but nice car

Best kept secret is CL 55 AMG True Story ...

When you say best way to spend $10k you mean after you buy the car right,? You realize they’re all selling for $20k
