As a proud owner of w210 e55 I can say with a assurance that this thing is a rocket and definitely going to be a future classic in a couple more years!
I've got a face-lift w210 e55, yes it is a beautiful looking car and pleasure to sit inside with very comfy seats and the sound it makes is undeniably one of the best pieces of music made to date....but, the big but, does it feel fast? No, unfortunately it doesn't, its not bad in a straight line but it just doesn't have that good scary thrill that you expect it feels like more noise and less movement, also around bends it feels wofty and boat like I have a w202 c43 amg also and whilst power figures are lower it is much more of a pleasure to drive feeling tight and precise perhaps it is tbe weight difference and before any one suggests the under belly of the e55 is practically all new so its not down to worn parts If I had the choice of doing it again would I buy the e55? Nope, I'd save some more and go for the e39 m5 which yes it is more money but its a whole lot more fun and will appreciate far greater in value also being a manual it adds to the driver experience I have studied both cars well as my uncle owned the e39 m5 for a few years and I was madly in love with it sadly the car is no longer with us a big mistake
@@ahmedjabbar7467 Hey Ahmad,loved reading your comment, the t.v. shows always make out every car is just phenomenal as opposed to telling the truth.

@@kenlee-97 Exactly that is the reason the E55 is a better daily car. It's a relaxing and incredible sounding way to go fast in. That's what the experience is in that car. If you like rowing through gears though then don't buy it.
Unless it rained the you got the finest piece of overengineered rust money could buy. The 210 was atrocious when it came to body protection. Was a fantastic car if you lived in somewhere like Saudi Arabia or Arizona though. The shame of Stuttgart for many years.
dad had an e280. ofc not lightning fast but it really feels mercedes inside out. even my dad's current w211 e240 doesnt have the same vibe.. which is why i still miss the w210
I wish everyone would stop bitching in the comments. Ant is doing a great job working on great cars for car enthusiasts. If you can do a better job, start ur own show. Hats off
@Honda 250 I agree, I like both Ed and Ant. I liked Ant on "for the love of cars". I watched wheeler dealers from the start but as you say near the end of Ed it was not as good, it was more about product placement than mechanics. At the start it was much more d.i.y stuff but by the end it was "here's a machine I rented for only £300 a day etc". Plus Mike has progressed from the start by not being too bad, to now being a complete prat.
Good idea about the cabin filter, I hope yours is easy to get to, I need a contortionist to do mine and they aren't easy to find., like my cabin filter. Makes a huge difference with a fresh one in place.
I like how on a service they never changed the plugs, even with the magic of television that would make you believe their not too bad of a job. Even though there's 16 of the barstards and the further back you go towards the bulkhead, the harder those little fuckers are to get to and change. That would have been better piece of mind at about £200 for the bits and several hours labour, oh well. It's got all new cabin filters though 😅👍😎.
Drop the exhaust? I have the same car. Very easy to do the upstream O2 sensors from the engine bay. Biggest issue is valve cover leaks and transmission conductor plate.
I just paid 5K for one w/139k miles. Changed all fluids so far. Needs tires. Slight leak at passenger boot steering rack. Other than that it's a blast so far. Look out for rust. Mine has started in the strut towers, scary
Mike is comparing this car with a Mustang GT of the same era. I’m not a Mustang guy, but you have to be mindful the E55 was almost 3x the price. It better be faster.
Faster indeed..and 10x more reliable to boot. I have literally done NOTHING to my e55 in 3yrs except change the oil about 6 times, same with my two e420's before that. The w210 is one of the most underrated cars ever...and I'm glad for it, cause they are easy to obtain and DIY.
@@shinaito These had bulletproof drivetrains and were built in very limited numbers. These aged horribly because of Mercedes cheapening out on rust prevention methods. Mustang GT's were virtually ubiquitous.
Love Ant, pure class. He is real quality, and has been since "for the love of cars" Would love a show with him and Edd making odd and 100% hand built cars/sheds. Still cant stand Mike "the snake" B, tough i saw that he had a new show on motortrend app. Only lasted 5 minutes before I had to turn it off. Liked the series with Mark, but it seemed a little too scripted. Elvis has a loyal following, and I fear, Mike did he no favors. Elvis is a smart guy so I guess he wanted it, however it will hurt in 5 years, when Mike will only be remembered for Stabbing his friend in the back, on RUclips of all places. Big Edd vs. BIG HEAD Brewer. I guess a leopard and its spots would be a perfect analogy here...
@@shadfaquir4873 Brewer is an enigma. Not cool for sure, but his early work was sound. Now? I cant (caaannt) stand the guy. Sad since he was very good at showing what low-life used car salesmen were like in real world.
I miss my white 2001 E55 because it was built like a bank vault had 400lbs of torque and still got 22 mpg! I have seen a few with 250K miles still running well and compared to the W211 E55 which looked and drove like a fast Honda Accord yes it had straight line speed but really nothing else worthy of consideration!
Some of the backlash in recent years has been totally uncalled for. However, it's hard not to notice the numbers associated with this channel. 30k views is a good number for this channel, but there are independent channels doing the same topics with double the subscribers and 10x the viewing figures. This isolated video is much better than the format that involves the fake stories and showmanship but watching some guy fixing cars who has no producers or team behind him is much more entertaining and interesting than WD is now. The format that viewers want is changing.
MB dealer charges for five minutes work changing those filters probably an hour labour, why black paint and interior half the markets undriveable in summer
This new version is so bad. Starting with this new guy. Is so shallow. Can't even watch the episodes anymore. When Edd was in them ,I could even see them 2 or 3 times. But with this guy ,I'm struggling to even finish one. And I'm doing it for the love of the care, trying to avoid looking at this guy.
Definitely the first video I thought was really good, we love watching the mechanics BUT we do also love Mike he's clearly a very hard working enthusiastic car guy.
A simple and clever filter is exactly like the Benz one: easy to reach, no metal housing involved. You actually can see what has been going on in the oil system because of the open filter element and you dont throw away the metal can unneccessaryly each time you change filters.
In EU AMG quote 5,3 second with two 75 kg persons on board and full tank of gas that's total of 1940kg. Car without driver weight 1710 kg. In real life this car with 1/4 gas and one person should go under 5 seconds with good Bridgestone or michelin pilot sport tires, beside in EU its 0-100km/h (62,5 mph) and in USA is 0-60mph
He is no Ed China. The problem when you take someone else is role it always ends up in crash and burn. Ed to the WD is like Arni to Terminator. Less is more.
Ant has started his own vintage sports car company based on the beautiful one-off the design of his own designed and built 1960 style sports car in England. He brought one to the U.S. The car is powered by a Chevy LS engine. It's beautiful and very well regarded. His talents are substantial. Edd is also an amazing mechanic, but that doesn't make one better than the other. Tell me, what is your claim to mechanical fame? Grow up or grow a brain.
You are incredibly stupid. Ant is a great mechanic and presenter but the way the programme is filmed (to appease the American market) to be 'funnier' (cringe fest) and with less technical info (because the american viewers) dislike it, is why people dislike Ant.
That was so good Mike..and yes they are quick..even drivn at 160mph feels like a Sunday drive,day out .nothing really happening at all,talk quietly,eat a sandwich,cuppa coffee,G.F. soozes,average 100 mph in every hour including fuel stops and not wake her.!! Now that's a car.!
yup water based paint and environmental laws were the reason. interestingly the 4matics have held up better rust wise, I believe they were made in different factory
@@The2Coolest2 its something I've heard before, and ever since then I've noticed the 4matic W210s in general had less or no rust compared to the RWD W210s. Just my personal observation. And I was in northeast so I saw plenty of W210s with rust. I believe the 4matics were made in different factory due to the different drive train, possibly even in Austria and maybe they used different paint process or had different laws/regulations than Germany and maybe thats why their paint held up better
@@SeamHead33 Interesting! I'm in the Northeast as well. I'll try to read up on it. Unfortunately Hurricane Sandy destroyed my dads. I tried to track it down for fun but turns out it got exported to Eastern Europe (I believe someone there won it online at an insurance auction).

The mechanism that allows the wiper to reach into the far corners needs new grease periodically

With some grazed knuckles and an offset socket you can get the front sensors off without dropping the exhaust.
Lots of things can be done simpler and with less commotion than the manuals would have you believe. You're quite right.
