I love the way you just got to the point, you bought the car picked it up and worked on it all in one video
@Joe Black lmao most accurate statement
No way man, I much prefer a 24 part series all with 18 minute videos that only have about 3 minutes of legit content in them... especially when they're paired with a clickbait thumbnail 👍

Yes!! Welcome to club AMG. Let's start going over mods ASAP! Congrats!!
Scrolling through the comment section looking for this comment :P
I’d put Sam’s number on call block if I were you
One of these days I will have one 😁
this guy thinks he's some sort of AMG expert or something. >_>
@@jimmyaber5920 Hahaha. Imagine if he just shows up in Chicago wanting to drive mine. Oh wait....
That bmw m5 is a factory paint option only available on the first edition, it’s called frozen dark red
The damage is probably caused by a truck, something heavy
Looks melted now . Better refreeze it.
@@JoePJack1 😂🙌
Won't be buying that one, better 'let it go'
That M5 is so done. I can not imagine reasonable repair is possible. Good only for parts I guess.
cant believe you let the rain stop your work
in Ireland this week it rained twice , first for 3 days and then for 4 days
She'd be a lovely little country if only you could roof it.
@@woozleboy still it did not stop the work
😂 😂 😂 😂
woozleboy not where I am..the midlands had a fair lot of rain over the last week.
Work carried though
It rained here, in Pennsylvania, a ton, last year and this year. It feels like it rains every day, pretty much has been

Send him a email
Can u do a video off all the cars u have completed, sold or are still doing. Please
Harry Thompson it gets confusing
I feel the same. I always appreciate a garage update. Hoovie and Tavarish have done one in recent weeks, it’s Sams turn to crank out an easy 15 minute video with a couple mid rolls for that sweet sweet ad revenue.
He sold an Audi last year (at least listed it) but I think he still has everything else. There were a couple episodes, circa pre-Pizza Car era, where he kept making comments that he’s not a flipper, he doesn’t do this to flip...overly adamant
Yeah especially the Ferrari where he glued the bottom piece with bathroom caulking..hahaha
Sam , I'm really sorry to say but you've become a shopping channel, you've lost sight of what we all loved about your early videos which was seeing you rebuild stuff. Good Luck for the future, hope you achieve your dreams.
The E55 has a facelift front grill, you will need a facelift front bumper in order to have it all fitting correctly.
It also has facelift rear lights.
Bademeister333 No, stock e55 rear lights.
Issen Did the E55 always has the LED brake lights?
He has the bumper that cone with the car and it is in a good state.
That is correct the car needs a Suvneer front bumper, the tail lights are e55 original ones. This was my car before I totaled it
My Instagram is @ExoticShineFL
Bmw does offer “matte” colors, they’re called “frozen” then the color.
I was like, I didn't know they made BMW M5 hatchback lol
this is why they dont
Excellent walk around Sam!! You have some amazing cars out there! Congrats on the new Benz!!
My dad had a W211 for 12 years. Sold it a last year, had many memories and roadcars in that gear. Will keep a good eye for this rebuid!
“Add a little at a time” because that worked out super on the Ferrari. 😂🤦🏼♂️
Brandon Clark this isn’t a dry sump engine.
Ferrari? What Ferrari? lol
Dude are you serious? He addressed why that was a mistake in that video. You never just "add oil" to a Ferrari. Most other cars are different. Get informed before you leave stupid, shitty, unhelpful and generally unfunny comments. Holy fuck this website gets dumber by the day. Fucking fuck man.
Paul Carmi You're talking about people being dumb, but your Dumb ass just called RUclips a website, u is stupid 🤦♂️
@@dawicked2k8 So when you open up your browser, what is it that you type in to get here? Is it a webadress? I think it is...
Therefore it is in fact a website.
It’s been great to see you go from a “beginner” to a pretty good mechanic. It must be very satisfying to do your own work, which is kind of the point of your channel. Great video and as Freddie says, “wrench every day”!
This was awesome Sam.... Not many youtube creators will buy a car, get it back to their workspace, do a walkaround AND fix 90% of the mechanical damage all in one episode! Very gratifying watch haha.
Cant wait to see this beast on the road/Track
Sam, I thought the white Focus was finished. Where is it?
I am buying it when completed
It is I let a cow borrow it
@@Samcrac Well let me borrow the black one....Nice AMG that black looks to cool for the pool!
@@Samcrac are you sure that the Grinch didn't steal it ?
Yep we have not seen a few of the completed cars,so what's the point of following this guy ?.
Man Sam, your camera that you are using for your videos is GREAT quality. Wish everyone's videos were this clear, sharp and hi-res!
I was missing you Sam. Great video thanks very much. Look to the next one. The quality was awesome.
I buy all my German parts from FCP Euro because of your channel. Saved me sooo much money compared going to the dealership. Thanks you so much Samcrac for all your awesome videos and information.
dame dude, starting to think you own a sizable share in Copart..
Uhh.. he did say he is sponsored by copart...
He got sponsored. But seriously there's like maybe 2-3 online auction houses for salvaged cars.
David Reeves are you serious?
@@YoungVenchy He said it in the beginning
Seems like it
@legitstreetcars must assist you with this!
Kevin Pocasangre yuh
I've been following you since the Audi RS7 and I love your work its very smooth and looks so enjoyable.
I'm looking to buy one as soon as I'm financial stable cause I'm from South Africa.
You thought me so much in car rebuilds .
Peace and keep on the great work.
I find this hilarious because I was bidding to win this exact car and little did I know you were the winner. This has been my dream car since I was 6 years old, I'm now 19 and I will buy one someday! Congrats man!
Sam robbing a 19 year old kid smh
Just don't buy it, it's fun to drive but very expensive to own.
Nice new build keep up the good work! You inspire me daily
Hey when i saw that BMW with the back collision i remember watching that russian guy Artur Tussik. Men that guy manage to pull them back to the original shape like magitian.
Awesome to see you rebuilding an AMG. I love this Cars and AMG produces its Cars just 10 Minutes away from my home. I'm very excited for this project. Greetings from Germany Sam
Dude your videos are brilliant! I'm not really into cars but you are getting me interested... props to you from the UK!
Sucks the way they pick the cars up with those fork lifts possibly causing scratches and even more damage.
I heard the reason for that once but I'm not sure anymore. I think they couldn't do that another way for some reason
They're 100% fine 99% of the time.
@@Djuztin what tf did you try to say?
A lot of these cars don't run, and many have suspension damage so they can't even be towed. So the forklifts make sense. But, they will often slap a "no fork" tag on high end supercars
@@TheRobman bs, I've seen the high ends all be forked onto trailers
hey sam, i just purchased my first vehicle from copart, a 2008 g37, and i was wondering as soon as i finish my rebuild, can i drive the car to the salvage inspection? also, i plan on putting a nardi racing wheel in, will i pass? or do i need stock wheel with airbag?
Really enjoyed the pace of this one Sam, great that you had the suspension components ready and were able to install them all in one episode!
Yes!! I can't wait to see you rebuild that beauty, I absolutely love the E55 AMG, one of my dream cars!
You said the air system is not beneficial yes it is when it has a air system Mercedes drives like a dream it's like you're floating on water at 70 80 miles per hour
like he said, he wants it a bit more sporty
@@mxp7443 - The Airmatic has settings for a firmer ride. You simply press the button.
OMGWTFLOL lol, static will always be better than air suspension performance wise.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH its still not even close to a normal coil.
Best thing I did was put my CLS55 on coilovers
I’m in love with the W211 AMG, it is like pure muscle in a tuxedo. It’s such a great car; One of my favorite benzos. I’m stoke on this one Sam and it’s not even my car haha
Great video bro! I got a local SL55 with 30K miles. Burned up wiring in the trunk from a fried battery module. Got a harness, soldered it in and bang it started! Oil hanged front end work and it now my daily! Keep up the great work sir.
The Red pastik-plug you pulled of is for dipstick motoroil. My 55 has a yellow one. Look at the flexdisc and the Transmissionmount at the driveshaft. I stay with airmatic 👍.
I love watching people take wrecked vehicles and fixing them up so they are driveable
I wish I had that talent.
Forget about the talent, I wish I had the money
Nothing to it but to do it.
It takes more skill than talent. You can build skill.
DIY FordGuy I was about to say this, its not talent at all, its all about MONEY, when u have plenty of it u can fix any car
Don't cut yourself short, you probably do have the talent. You just need to give it a try.
@@billybeemus3929 I know how to fix computers, and that was before I had a stroke. Now I have a hard time following and remembering directions.
Gotta go to Manheim to get deals sometimes. I just got a 2003 CL600 with AMG package for $1100. Complete car, just missing power transformer and coils.
I've had good copart deals too though, my quattroporte is gorgeous and was just $3300.
@carfaxts daily we will see. It had a misfire, a whole bank had clean plugs. The car was a repo, previous owner passed away.
@carfaxts daily just my experiences with auctions, but non runners or salvage title cars at Manheim sell for disgustingly cheap sometimes. We had a 2007 supercharged Range Rover Westminster go for $600, didn't have a key. Tons of $200-300 running cars that would sell quickly to the public for $1000-1500.
You mean Mannheim in Germany?
@@Janimi312 Manheim is like the biggest dealer only auction. They are all over the world. I live in Vegas, for reference our local copart may do 300-400 cars a week, our local Manheim does over 2000 cars a week.
The front and disc brakes are backwards.
Their fins must point at the rear,to extract air in the relative air movement you create while moving.
Simply love the E 55 AMG of the W211 lineup! Such great body lines, great engines and more! So happy you got one to rebuild!!!
Puiley and heat exchanger mods are next up! What else should we do?
Samcrac I’m a simple man, I see a samcrac video. I like the video before watching.
Samcrac Nitrous
Intake, exhaust + chip tuning. Wouldn't mind a throatier sounding V8. Maybe Akrapovic will give you a discount.
Excellent buy, can't wait for VTUNED rebuild this one.
I use to work at a merc dealer. drove a E55 when they were new. pretty impressive. had some punch and was comfy
Really nice car to build, got inspired by you, the DIY GANG hoovies garage. I ended up buying a car to fix up maybe i'll do a segment as I am fairly new to rebuilding cars.
Panel bond it and itll be good to go
look at the quarterpanel on this BMW. How about the trunk in the backseat.
That coil over shock system is awesome.. much superior then the airbag setup. More reliable. That's going to be a sweet ride once your done
12:10 Cut your lawn Sam! 🤣😂🤣
🇩🇪Great buy on this AMG🇩🇪 & thanks for the quick CoPart walk-around of the higher-end cars! 👍👍
"man it looks really good! Just like in the photos! ' an atempt was made to promote the sponsor.
🤔 3 fingers, and you say that's tight 🤣
Great content and I also enjoyed how you did everything all in one video. I've always wanted to try doing this kind of build being also from west palm ( The acreage ).I may.call on you one day for guidance !
I got a set of front Shocks new in the box for this. They are the most common issue. The seals leak and they are cheap and easy to fix and the air shocks are cheap as well.
This engine sounds like it might need New engine bearings since the accident damaged the oil cooler which in turn pumped all the oil out.
I bought a car from copart last week 2006 Cobalt SS and they asked me to do a survey and asked where I heard of copart and I had to put @samcrac
Glenn Van Wyk ay how you buy a car there I’m tryna buy a e46 lmao but I don’t know how to pay
@@orlandoa.8146 you can pay with your debit card they have lots of diffrent payment options I didnt need a license for the car I purchased just created a account and started bidding
What color is it. Used to have a silver one supercharged. Fun car fairly reliable.
@@snapos6115 laser blue metallic with the 2 tone blue and black interior, I've wanted one of these as a daily for years. supercharged whoever owned the car before I installed a k&n intake and a exhaust which was a great bonus
@@Glennvan are you dutch
That looks like a great build and it is one of my dream cars I am working on getting stateside and well be looking for one hopefully soon.
Great video, I love how you have the parts ready to rock this time!
It has a snapped drive shaft today I show you how to fix it with bubblegum and meal filings

How many builds did you finish this year?
@@petescarport that doesn't work here. You know some people aren't blessed with RUclips popularity and money. Believe it or not some people have to work for real and don't have the time or money to but shit off Savage yards
New fan...I am digging your channel bro! I like how you do things!
That E55 is an incredible find, I’m very envious. Did you get a service manual to help with the air suspension removal?
🚩🚩🚩 Sam, turn the key to ACC ON, then hit the odometer reset button 3 times in a row, that gives you the service menu on the dashboard which will give you useful things like 🌡OIL LEVEL🌡 and battery voltage. Just scroll through with the menu buttons on the steering wheel
I cringed when he started the car without even knowing how much oil is inside. It takes 5 seconds to get specific oil level in the service menu.
Another great video. The Mercedes looks nice 👌
I bought a 2003 CLK500 because you took the fear out of European cars for me. This is another great build, and I am looking forward to watching it. Thanks for the FCP Euro Tip!
I've owned a 05 E55 for a few years. Hands down its the best car ever!! Sadly, mine was hit in the same area as yours. So its getting rebuilt.. Had to stop the video to search for the CL65 you showed. That is the rarest of the modern AMGs.. one of my dream cars.
With it being a 2003, I would change the radiator as well. Since you're there. The early 2003 had issues with the integrated trans cooler that would mix with coolant.
Sam which youtube are you going to get to fix this one ?
Somebody sponsor this man a car lift.
It's probably space issue, not getting a car lift.
So fun watching your vids and will eventually do my own. I exclusively buy my cars at auction through Copart and iaai. Bought a 2011 Chevy Camaro 2SS 6.2L automatic and did a complete rebuild, then bought a hail damaged 2016 GMC Terrain SLT2 3.6L AWD and replaced the sunroof and put Camaro wheels on it. Anyways, keep vids coming. Really looking forward to you finishing up your Ferrari fixer. Really hope you get the issue resolved.
That was cool that you were able to show us some rides aside from you getting yours and going. Keep that up.
No oil dipstick? Why do engineers think that is a good idea, I would always trust a visual confirmation over a sensor any day.
The owners of those cars either dont know or will not check it themselves anyway. At least the computer can warn them if its low and they need to take it to the shop.
because, Mercedes. that's why. No oil? OKAY you buy a new car now.
Because new car designers and engineers aren't as smart as they think they are. I bet if you talked to an auto engineer from the 70's they see what they're doing with cars now and scream.
One such example is: I have an F150. The battery went dead and sat for a while. When I charged up the battery the power windows didn't work. I found out the "ecu has to re-learn that you have power windows" why in the hell are the power windows connected to the ECU? It's a freaking switch that makes the window go UP and the window go DOWN. No complicated wiring harness wired to the ECU is necessary. Same as the sun roof, the power rear sliding window, everything. There's actually a printed circuit board under the switches that is a common fail point.
@@muskokamike127 wrong, they are ensuring that basic maintenance is done at the dealer, which will discourage the diy guy from doing any larger repairs or maintenance if they make the most basic of procedures more difficult. It ensures most, if not all maintenance is performed in house, generating revenue and upselling opportunities for other repairs. It is a smart business move when you already have a demand for your brand simply because of it's name, people will still buy it and brag about how elite the service being performed is.
@@gr3ss3r2 so you're agreeing with me that they are making in more complicated than it needs to be. Thank you.
Ooo nice, would be great to see you collaborate with Alex @ LegitStreetCars 👍
Great car. Hopefully more videos in the future. Keep up the good work.
Alway look forward to seeing new videos from u SAM! Thank you !
Did anyone else see the fairy fly out when he first started it ??? (Around 10.01 :) just before. ... it pans around from dash to engine :)
Thought I was tripping for a second! Lol
That was an AMG soul... just flew away when Sam touched it :) btw its still around in 13:05 ;)
@@Egon1982 yeah saw the 13.05 ... maybe his car has kept its fairy (Glemlin) :)
DEAD :D
So....what happened to the green Ferrari? How many open projects do you have?
I was expecting just a "look at this car that I bought" video -- but got some repair stuff, too. Cool! Good luck with this one!
Nice car Sam , i bought two of them because all the videos of Alex from legitstreet. As soon i got the second one the suspension on the front blew up. I did the conversion to bc coilovers from fcp euro, all I can say GOOD LUCK IT'S SUCH A PAIN TO INSTALL THEM, the rear ones the front takes 15 min per wheel. However after i went 170 mph decided to sell it, it's crazy fast. If anyone interested let me know
This is what I call a good looking Mercedes!
How does this look any different that any other black E55? They all look the friggin' same.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH from the current ones!
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Soooo, logically the others look good too!
just wait until it gets the walmart suspension?
So from everyone doing Lambos on RUclips, we are not on AMGs? 😂
congratulations on all your success. you are a hard worker. inspirational
Some good hard core wrenching on this build already...nice!
Damn ! Lets gett’r done eh bud! I just bought a rare 6Spd manual E60 M5 to rebuild on my channel, lets race to finish!!!
Just for that, you got your 46th sub.
And 138th

Hey guys im Sam crack
Gotta love that Florida weather. Currently using my motorcycle to commute because my car was totaled and google will say weather is good and halfway to work, it's like a hurricane!
Wasn't expecting to see Samscrac at 17:55 lol
Love this project though, have a MB I want to rebuild soon myself. W126 420SEL with a 560SEL engine swap.
When you started it the first time it sounded worse than my old 91 4runner with 642k miles on it..
its been ripped to fuck with no love!
My at one time buddy Lori had a 4 runner that sounds like yours. It may be the same one. I think she got rid of it. It was running on luck and holding together with rust. Good radio and MAG wheels. She loved it.
Toby the Glen love is a terrible thing to wast.
Read the buyer fees and purchase requirements before you bid. It’s expensive! The cost of many cars with fees approach the price of a good title used car. And just try to sell it when you are done. Anyone interested in 3 cars I purchased from coparts that I can’t sell to anyone else?
Truck probably hit that red BMW. Love the new buy, the copart tour, and this channel. Keep it real SAMCRAC 😎
Love your videos, look forward to you pumping the HP on this AMG, hope you figure out the Ferrari problem.
Question: On the car like the Porsche with minor dents and scratches why is it given a salvage title if it looks like it could be easily fixed?
You can see in the screenshot that he showed that it was a theft recovery, meaning that it was stolen and State Farm wrote the owner a check, and then after it was recovered the State Farm sent it to auction to recoup some of their loss.
@@ianhill5741 thank you, I didn't catch that
Radio really looks crappy. Especially with this flat black cheap plastic around it
Hi Sam love the video you have great selection of cars at Copart in America and you can walk around freely. Wish that was the same over here. Cars mainly go for ridiculously high prices and you can only see around 3 cars at a time and you have to have a guide go round with you. Cars are hardly worth buying over here. Makes me want to come from England to America
Awesome Sam! Really enjoy your videos!
That M5 on Copart was and M5 Competition Package... rare M5.. And nice Frozen Red.
Is a beautiful car - nice colour. Shame to see it in that state.
Non repairable. Will be a parts car
Sucks too. Beautiful bad-ass amazing car
@@cliffgardner5717 that car is very fixable just clip it find a car hit in the front drill all the spot welds out on the rear tub weld the good rear tub on same way factory would Arthur tusski could do this easy
@@jeremyhanna3852 but cost to do so wouldnt be worth it. BMW parts are a premium $ maker. The car will end up a parts car, the damage is to far forward to just clip the car, plus I'm sure the insurance company titled it as a non repairable because the damage is so far forward. I've seen some bad hits get fixed yes, but costs to do isnt worth it. Plus why fix a insane bad rear hit with a front hit car? Would be other way around, this car would be a parts car for front end damage
Insurance TOTALED it with MINOR Damage? We all where this is headed...

Just sold my 03 SL55.Had it for 15 years.What an amazing ride.
Great video man. You really got me excited about this site
bad idea removing the air suspension. that car will never ride the same again
Correct because now it isnt broken anymore.
@@wowfreaker you're right. is not broken anymore. it's brand new and it's shit. the car is designed to be comfortable and you will never get the same level of comfort from coil overs
@@catalinxnecula That's not an absolute. Plus air suspensions are not as reliable over time, and are expensive to repair. It's only a bad idea if you are committed to keeping the car all original. If I had a E55 I'd want to track it, so I would replace the OE air ride too.
Cars&Roads UK did you watch the video? He doesn’t want the car to be comfortable, he wants it to be sporty.
@@brunoglopes i assume that you're all american commenting here and because of that i'll rest my case.

Love the car! Hope to see more vids soon :D Also, very jealous that you get these AMG's on Copart in the US so cheap :p
Sam that's a e63 bumper. Also you have a blue interior. -somewhat rare lol. Btw for the coilovers be sure to program it out in star. If your control arms are used get new febi bushings. I have the same car. And a 360 spider too. For the headlights be sure to get the 03/04 headlights.
