In my opinion its the complete opposite. I dont like the rear lights of the W211 wagons. On the other side the W212 wagons are looking waaay better than the sedans.
I have a black w211 e55 wagon with no badges on it :) almost nobody knows its a beast. I'll get some 220 cdi badge on it 😉 This one is very decent with these alloys and the facelift items. Congrats!
Too bad the car is limited. These cars go 320 km/h bone stock if the limiter is removed. Modded cars can go up to 340 km/h quite easily. People underestimate this car so much!
320km/h with a bone stock W211 E55/S211 E55? Never ever. Maybe the speedo will show 320km/h, but even that is in my eyes not possible. And AutoTopNL made a video a few days ago, and his/this S211 E55 wenn 296km/h, if I remember correctly… But anyhow: And awesome car and a brutal engine 🙏
@@5ShotProductions Thats exactly the problem, it was an estate and not a limousine. That’s a huge difference. A healthy E55 limousine that is in perfect mechanical condition will easily go 320 on the Speedo. GPS is irrelevant. By that time you have passed any modern car in that class anyways.
First of all upgrade the cooling system asap. The m113k heatsoak really quick after een couple of pulls. Inlettemps go sky-high and don't recover fast enough. A bigger heat-exchanger, 2nd heat-exchanger, a higher flow waterpump and a seperate coolanttank for the ic system are a must. Buy some longtube headers. Then get a tune for the gearbox as for the engine. On fb you have a person who's a magician of the 722.6s. He will turn your old lazy gearbox into something you won't expect at all. After these mods you will have a real e55. Been there, done that. Still enjoying every single mile. De groeten uit Brabant!
Love to know what head/satnav unit is in this E55, still an unbelievable car to this day so quiet at high speeds too! Back in the day of Ultimate Q cars
I really don’t like Mercedes, especially not after how I was treated as an employee at one of their dealerships, but I must say that that generation of E class looks good, one of the best looking Mercs ever made.
I remember back in the good old days, this car appeared....it was wooow....insanely fast and practical...hell...it's almost as fast as the M4 2020...They don't make this kind of cars anymore...

@@romansenger2322 2005 isn’t old, pre 1990 is old. I bought an “old” benz for the value to increase and reliability, I copped it for 13,000 dollars now it is worth 20,000 dollars. I also live in a big house, I don’t want the newest unreliable tech crap, I am able to work on the benz by myself without some stupid technology making it hard.
They aren’t that bad. Most consumables are cheap, it’s the electronics which can be pricey if they fail, but these days there are plenty of options if you seek them out. For example brake discs are only £60 each from MB.
I'll second what Chris-R said. Most things really aren't that bad, though there are odd exceptions at times. For example, the bearings in the serpentine belt pulleys went bad on mine, and when I priced out replacements, the single row ones were like 20 euro each, but for some reason the double row one, with two pulleys side by side, was 595 euro from the dealership? I ended up just replacing the whole set with billet aluminum ones from VRP for like half that price. The only real cost you can't get around is gas for it though. They are thirsty beasts.
@@TheAlanFish oh wow, thats an expensive part. What I should add is that most of the parts that fail are shared with any regular 211, and if I’m going to spend money on a car I would sooner spend it on an V8 AMG than a 300D. Regarding fuel, I just switched to premium (ESSO 99) and returned a big increase in fuel economy. Never saw much about 24mpg on a run but saw 27mpg after the change, and it’s got much colder since as well. When you compare to other 7-seat estate cars nudging 2-tonne that isn’t far away. Mate of mine gets similar numbers in his Ford S-Max Petrol.
I mean this is as fast as a M2 Comp thats quite embarrassing for new gen cars, although great props to grandpa amg for still having competing numbers with cars in 2021
Yes you flash your high beams if there is a vehicle in the left lane and they will move over unlike people at home that would just slow down and give you the finger. Do that in Germany and you will wear a Mercedes in your rear end, they expect you will move over
can we take a moment to appreciate how accurate the speedo is
Even the analog one was precise
Benz
He tested a Challenger also with very accurate speedo 🙂
@@HEMI345S oh yeah I remember that, the challenger was s l o w
unlike audi at 250 gps speedometer shows 265 lol
9,4s 100-200 is crazy fast for such a 'old' car. I mean the E63s wagon does around 7,5s but still stunning for only 476hp

these wagons look stunning when they’re well taken care of. it’s a shame so many of the non amg wagons are so rusted and worn out
Good ones with the 280CDI, 320CDI oder 320 are quiet cheap (4-6k€ !!) in GER now.
W211 is a beautiful design..timeless.

*Hot take:* The Wagons of this generation look so much sexier from the rear than the sedans.
But only as true AMG. The sedan with hidden exhaust from Modellpflege looks better than regular stationW.... just an Opinion ;-)

True. Rear end looks so good. The tail lights remind me of the clk gtr.

I have one 06 W211 E55 AMG with some Kleemann mod done and it's such a fantastic car even when it is stock.

A remap on the gearbox will do the job. And a remap on the engine will be a good thing to do.
For what you need a faster gearbox in this Mercedes? This car is very comfortable and the gearbox fits the engine very well.
