- So you want to buy a 211 E55. Well first of all congratulations on making one of the best decisions you ever will. I hope to in this video outline some things that you should look out for/ expect when owning one of these cars. They are not perfect but they sure are fun.

The W211 is the best car Mercedes Benz has ever built and the M113 is a real killer machine. There is no question that this engine made history. Mine is a 2002 model and still running like hell. Thumbs up 👍🏻
Nice vid, but feel like you missed out on the fuel issues with the fuel tank and fuel sending unit.
Easy to know if it’s an issue when test driving the car. Look out for fuel smell, especially near the driver side rear wheel
Completely forgot about that one. I know Mercedes had a recall out for the tank and pump.
Liqui Moly Top Tech 1600 was developed specifically for the 722.6. It works great.
I’ve also heard and sure you have to. Cylinder 8 and 7 fuel starvation. I believe why this happens is Bc the entry of fuel is right next to cylinder 8 and 7 and since the pressure is so high where the fuel enters the rail, it becomes restricted and it doesn’t have good flow. It’s like squeezing (restricting) a water hose at one end there’s not gonna be a good flow of water there until it gets going down the other end of the hose. (All other cylinders) this why the m113k in the SLR McLaren doesn’t have this issue Bc the rail is looped and has constant flow
Yes I have also heard of that but I forgot to mention it because mine has upgraded injectors and the rail has already been looped.
Have a CLS55 and had to do one front AirMatic ($1200CDN @ a shop) and the compressor ($120 @ Rock Auto) because the rear wasn't lifting. Strangely, MB Canada only sold a reman'd compressor for $750. If you want to switch to coil-overs, you'll need the rear control arms from a non-AirMatic (new about $450USD) plus whichever kit you buy. I haven't done it yet, but seriously considering it if another strut goes. lol Also had the ABC pump go not long after buying. MB Canada wouldn't pay as it was an American car. A bit of a gamble as I had to pay $4200 upfront and then claim it through a US Dealer and hope MB USA didn't deny the claim. Worked out eventually, no issues, just took a few weeks to process all the paperwork (actually lost a bit on currency conversion, but better than $4200). Local dealership first quoted about a week and $4200 but turns out they had the part on the shelf and got it back in two days. I guess what I'm getting at is that it's not a cheap car to maintain or repair and to expect problems, sometimes expensive problems. But it's a fun car with a ton of power with a lot more to be had for a (relative) small amount money. Now that mine in mechanically sorted (mostly), this is the year that I start the 'improvements'. :)
The CLS doesn't have an ABC pump, do you mean an SBC pump ?
@@ahemgee9542 Yeah, sorry.. too many TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms) in that car.
I love it man! I’ve never driven one of these cars with the coil over conversion but I assume it’s a harsher ride than the airmatic. When the suspension works it’s great!
@@evogt8702 I haven't done it, and don't really want to. I heard the same... that the ride gets really harsh... though not sure how much you can change it.
Bruh is your car cross-eyed? Front left headlight looks misaligned
The left headlight I got screwed on eBay, the alignment spring is broken and it stays cooked at the ground. New lights will be put on when the car is back in running shape. It’s underivable at night
Thank u for the video :D
Hey man I’m going to go check out a e552004
Can you give me a checklist on what to check for or look out for when I arrive to see the car
Pretty much what I said in the video. Also make sure to check out all the bushings on the suspension.
@@evogt8702 thanks bro
If I get a e55 with 100k miles would it just be smart to get the sbc pump replaced as soon as I get it
Call Mercedes’ and if they say to replace it then you might as well since it’s is free.
They won’t replace it unless it’s broken
I just bought one of 2004. Hope i wont get any surprises
Congrats! How many miles?
@@evogt8702 Thank you... Well quite alot of miles...about 165k. but it is in great shape..1st hand, complete service history, alot of new parts, breaks are new, there is a litte bit of rust on the rear wheel arch, but the dealers gonna fix it and i m gonna get new wheels.
@@groebsch at those miles the engine’s barley breaking in hahah. Mine has 185k and engine is strong with no issues, just wasn’t taken care of well so things have started to appear.
