This is my 2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG (W220). I thought I always wanted a (W211) E55 AMG, but that was completely flipped when I saw the S55 AMG and all it has to offer. I will go over how much I paid, what maintanence is due and how I found the car. We will do a deep dive into the W220 S-Class and the M113K platform. Included will be burnouts, test hits, sound clips and an overall insight on the S55 AMG as a daily and why you should find one before they are gone!

I was looking for an E55 when I found my S55 as well. Glad I got the S55! Had it for a year and 13k miles and it’s a very easy and cheap car to work on! Just did front pads and rotors (raybestos rotors and Akebono pads) for $250. Rebuilt the rear calipers for about 30 bucks and did an inner tie rod end and trans mount for $50 (using OEM quality parts). I also got an 83mm pulley on a stock tune, but I split my cooling system so the intercooler water never mixes with engine coolant, and added a water/meth kit to add extra fuel for the increase in boost. I run a very traction limited 4.3 second 0-60 time. Everything else, exhaust included, is bone stock.

I'm definitely looking into split cooling cuz my intake temps are terrible when I go into boost I mean it'll go from 70-80 all the way to 120-130. But I've seen some mixed reviews on the split cooling. And I've always run the water meth on all my previous boosted vehicles but got nervous when legit street cars did a video and it lost power!? Either way I still have a lot in works for this car.

Dude.... I fell in love with your car's longer legged sister... The CLS 55... About a mile from my house there is this little used lot, and one day, as I was driving by I saw it... 06 CLS 55 AMG... I had absolutely no knowledge of anything mercedes before this.. at all... Hell im not even a CAR GUY.. Im a bike guy.. But when I laid eyes on that thing.. It was like getting punched in the gut, same feeling when you lock eyes with the girl that is way out of your league, but she smiles at you anyway.... I became obsessed.... I know damn near everything about this car inside and out... This one was EXACTLY how I want it too... Flat black allllll the way around... Murdered out big time... They are so damned hard to find at less than 10k though so... I still dont have one.. Im a disabled vet, still fighting VA for disability benefits, FINALLY got medical just recently so progress is progress... Only way I have of supporting myself was doing computer repair/building gaming rigs and IT support etc etc for locals... Then a few weeks ago my fukin place burned down... So I guess the CLS gets pushed even further back on the priority list.... Sigh....

The VA can be a real PAIN.. (no pun intended)…. The CLS-class is actually much smaller than the S-class… I wanted one SO bad, but when I finally checked one out in person, the size (legroom/headroom) was NOT gonna cut it…. After experiencing the interior of the s-class… the leather, wood etc… pretty much EVERY aspect of the CLS was much MUCH of a lesser quality than the S-class … or E-class for that matter…. To each its own… but as a fellow Veteran, I just wanted to share my observations. 🫡

Never known valve cover gaskets leak. The breather covers are a different matter, they dont use gaskets, and are a pita for leaking. The wheels are too big, you have to lift the suspension its highest position to drive it, tyres catching on the wheel arches are they? The ABC looks like its lifting all the way, but unevenly, stand by for some hefty Bill's. I have replaced my ABC with coil springs from strutmasters, replace the lower arms with those from an airmatic car, fit a swaybar from same, and the ride is as good as the ABC. if you change the supercharger oil, dont forget to use Jet oil. I have thrown a load of money at my engine, and its kicking out around 620+ BHP now.

So when I copied over the project to a new project and rendered it, one of the texts that was supposed to come after fluid temperature was within range didn't copy over. I didn't have a good mic, just the gopro when I was filming that so I couldn't do it with the engine running.

I'm considering buying a S55 AMG LWB for 25k here in Norway. It has only run 45.000 miles and looks pristine. I have also been looking for E55 AMG but they cost from 35k and up, 10k more than a S55 AMG. My parking lot is kinda small hence why I think the E55 AMG is a better choice, plus that the ABC system scares the heck outta me.
@u7tra_661
@u7tra_661 3 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't be E55 has airmatic and they both have their issues though the ABC's ability quite outweighs it, plus the price difference gives you room for maintenance and upgrades. Test drive both and see which fits you better. I just did a rebuild of the valve block seals on the rear block and it was a lot easier than expected I think when I release the post 100k series videos there's definitely going to be information that other people I feel leave out.

Making the ABC Suspension sound more desirable than the Airmatic suspension, is evil and diabolical 🙂‍↔️…. I definitely prefer the Airmatic over the ABC … I thought I wanted the S55, but discovering that it has the ABC SUSPENSION, I’m pretty much no longer interested…. I’m thinking of modding my 2004 s-class NA with a supercharger intake setup…. Hopefully, in a couple years, the price of that mod will decrease considerably. 🤞🤞

If you're not very familiar with these cars it'll be worth it to spend a couple of bucks at a private shop to have them do a pre-purchase inspection try and find one that works on German cars it'd be too lengthy to try and explain it it's more of a years and past of experience that are applied when looking at the car. But the basics you could start with is getting any service history and possibly doing a Carfax

Hey Bro...I appreciate your video a lot, I hope you still respond to this vids comments ....your story is exactly mine...after 9 mths of searching I decided I wanted an E55 AMG ( I was told there is only one better the S55 but that they are rare)....2 hrs later I stumbled upon an an 05, S55 on FB marketplace.....My question is AM I making a mistake ? You've had your car 2 yrs, what has it cost you in main and repair? There are conflicting reports ...some say its one of MB most reliable others claim its a money pit....I know all about money pits. I bought a 07 R56 mini S w 85 thou KM for 6500CAD...and spent near 30k fixing it over 2.5 yrs....I ended up abandoning it at the police impound. It was gorgeous every week I would get at least 2 strangers saying "I love your car"... I would reply..Thankyou! dom't ever buy one ....Am I making the same mistake??? my AMG is absolutely mint one owner 135,000 KM never seen snow valve covers done spring 2022 suspension pump done a couple mths ago. What is your experience after 2 yrs ownership??????? thanks

Interestingly enough, I’m sure you know about the W220 having a upgraded cooling system to the boost intercooler, also, if you haven’t solved the BT streaming issue since we don’t have AUX, check out Mr12v, full BT streaming thru the fiber cable, just takes the place of your CD changer, but you have full controls on the steering wheel and song names come up. Also, I don’t know where you live but I saw the Ambient temp as 95 so odds are your down south like me, turns out there are ways to upgrade your vented seats with better fan, so the cooled seats are much better! Just sharing some interesting tid bits with you, and maybe some future video ideas!

I'd probably still stick with the S55 as I could use the extra money on the car, I have more knowledge on the m113/k platform and there is more available performance upgrades and the platform is trusted, also this was the last year of that engine platform. More sentimental to me. Though the exhaust of a V12 is unsurpassed...

Fronts: 19x8.5 ET35 w/ 225|40|19 Rears: 19x9.5 ET35 w/ 245|40|19 I used smaller width tires because the smaller offset pushed the wheels out and the stretch on the tires keeps the rear from possibly rubbing vs the 275's that would not work on a lower stance and should be on there. Also the 225's on the front we're not necessary but I did it so the look of the tires matched.

It really depends, not such a straight answer. But to keep it easy 3 or less. But again a lot of that depends on the type of vehicle a very high dollar car may be leased for one to two years then the next person might do the same then someone might own it for a few years and then the next person see what I'm saying so each car is really different depending on the type of car and a lot depends on the maintenance history since you can never really get the information on why it exchanged so many hands but usually if it did exchange a lot of hands there was probably something wrong with the vehicle that the next person thought they could fix or wasn't aware of.

That tough, It really breaks down to how the car was maintained, any records for proof and inspection you can have done. in a sense a poorly maintained car with 100k versus a meticulously maintained car with 160k It might be a better option and again it depends on budget and also how much the mileage affects you mentally, versus what's actually going on with the car. But for the most part the m113/k and the 722.6 are for the most part bulletproof and should last for multiple 100k mileage.. and should last well in those mileages if maintained
