- My 2014 E550 4Matic Sedan
Currently has muffler/secondary resonator delete, but that’s just the start
This is the facelift which was only available in 2014 with the 4.6 bi turbo v8 in the U.S.

All very good advice. The cylinder scoring was also supposedly addressed in the 2014 and later models. Adding a tune increases the service interval, especially for spark plugs and adds pressure on the transmission! The m278 v8 bi-turbo was available through 2017, specifically in the Cabriolet model, however is extremely rare to find a 2017 E550 Cabriolet, especially with additional packages! I know they are out there because I own one 😊
@@NickeryNelson yes these cars were definitely not made with performance as a top priority, since there is already the E63. But for those who are one a tighter budget still looking to have fun it’s a great option. I have done all of my fluids, spark plugs, carbon clean, filters etc. Maintenance always first. You are right the cabriolet and my car are both rare examples.
Carbon clean? Did you do that yourself?
@@NickeryNelson well not a true carbon cleaning that would mean actually taking everything apart and cleaning/blasting the valves etc. But I followed Luke Brosious video and sprayed the intake valve cleaner into the charge pipes while having someone hold the gas pedal. I did see good results following exactly what he said and I even noticed a little bit of carbon on the exhaust tips once I was done.
looks clean
Do a pov drive
Gotta question I have a b8 s4 plan on getting exact year but I’ll settle for a 12-13 also power wise do u like it better then the s4?
@@Stoley_S4 I like the Benz more just because of the size and more features. The s4 definitely feels lighter and more nimble but top end and mid range the Benz will win. Also these are less common than s4. Even though the s4 is a better dig car with the launch control I still like the power in the e550 more.
I am going to get it tuned and should make 600+hp easily possibly even 700. The s4 won’t be able to make that amount of power as easily. The Mercedes is about 4,100 pounds vs 3,900 pounds in the s4 which isn’t that big of a difference.
@@ItzCashCam reliability wise u liking it?
Does this exact year come with Bluetooth for music ? And how’s the performance? I’m planing to get one
@@Drewski951 yes does have Bluetooth for calls/music (you can also get aftermarket screen for CarPlay). Performance has been great so far smooth and tame when u want it to be but also has really fun power when you want it for a pretty much stock daily.
I have the same exact car did you get any check engine light after the delete I kinda hesitant on doing it 😂
@@danielguzman5540 I bought the car with the muff/second res delete and no cel. But I am planning to get catless downpipes so I will definitely have one then 😂
@@ItzCashCam I’m gonna deff subscribe bro I wana see what you do I actually bought the car not too long ago with 93k on it for a steal and I grabbed it but I’m hesitant to do any mods lol keep up the content bro I’m tuning in FS 🙌🏽
@@danielguzman5540 preciate it bro. I’m finishing up maintenance (changed all the fluids) then planning to do intakes and downpipes. These cars can make good power but it’s not cheap
@@ItzCashCam yeah fs bro trust me I just replaced the axles on the car because they where wearing out cost me about 2k for the parts and to get them replaced 😅
How’s the suspension holding up
No issues. I don’t have air matic tho just standard coils.
@@ItzCashCam lol lucky you
worth buying one high miles, how long did you have the audi, and how many miles this mercedes got?!
It’s dependent on maintenance. 10k miles for oil changes is too long. My car only had 2 owners before me and no accidents ever, also had a pre-purchase inspection. I didn’t have the Audi long about 5 months, just sold it because of the high insurance and it did have its issues. I’m sitting at about 162k.
My car was about $12k which is a great value for the car. I tried to get a later model because of the looks but also mechanical fixes Mercedes did throughout the years.
@@ItzCashCamcovered almost everything props to you brother, you recommend dailying this car. and driving it in the winter, gonna be doing that a lot for least 2 years
@@ep_487 I would definitely research common issues with these, there is alot of info/videos out there. Honestly dailying has been pretty good for TT V8 19city/28 highway and comfortable. I loved the Audi Quattro in the winter so I will have to see how the 4 matic holds up but considering the torque and depending on the tires it should do just fine.
@@ep_487 I plan on doing a lot of mods to mine and driving it for the foreseeable future.
