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....
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 👍

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
I have a spare set of door panels with matching blue interior if you need them.
what are the odds lol
@@dalcallcenter2879 I even have the rear seats with the blue
Send him a email
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
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
I was like, I didn't know they made BMW M5 hatchback lol
this is why they dont

Yeah LOL
Signed
Bmw does offer “matte” colors, they’re called “frozen” then the color.
Excellent walk around Sam!! You have some amazing cars out there! Congrats on the new Benz!!
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.
Nice new build keep up the good work! You inspire me daily
“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 TH-cam 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.
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!
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!
@legitstreetcars must assist you with this!
Kevin Pocasangre yuh
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 ?.
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.
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”!
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
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
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
I was missing you Sam. Great video thanks very much. Look to the next one. The quality was awesome.
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.
Excellent buy, can't wait for VTUNED rebuild this one.
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
Yes!! I can't wait to see you rebuild that beauty, I absolutely love the E55 AMG, one of my dream cars!
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
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.
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!
Some good hard core wrenching on this build already...nice!
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
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.
Awesome Sam! Really enjoy your videos!
Great car. Hopefully more videos in the future. Keep up the good work.
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
Panel bond it and itll be good to go
Alway look forward to seeing new videos from u SAM! Thank you !
Great video, I love how you have the parts ready to rock this time!
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.
Somebody sponsor this man a car lift.
It's probably space issue, not getting a car lift.
Yes I LOVE E55s!!!! Looking forward to this project Sam!
Dude your videos are brilliant! I'm not really into cars but you are getting me interested... props to you from the UK!
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.
"man it looks really good! Just like in the photos! ' an atempt was made to promote the sponsor.
Great video man. You really got me excited about this site
Love AMG cars, gonna follow this project of yours!
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?
look at the quarterpanel on this BMW. How about the trunk in the backseat.
12:10 Cut your lawn Sam! 🤣😂🤣
🇩🇪Great buy on this AMG🇩🇪 & thanks for the quick CoPart walk-around of the higher-end cars! 👍👍
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!!!
Another great video. The Mercedes looks nice 👌
It has a snapped drive shaft today I show you how to fix it with bubblegum and meal filings
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.
Great deal on the AMG , can't wait to see what you do with it !
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?
Samcrac and Tavarish Unfinished Projects team
How many builds did you finish this year?
@@petescarport that doesn't work here. You know some people aren't blessed with TH-cam 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!
awesome. really loved this build
🤔 3 fingers, and you say that's tight 🤣
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.
good video man, keep up the good work.
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!
🚩🚩🚩 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.
So....what happened to the green Ferrari? How many open projects do you have?
Amazing Channel ! Congra whit the E55 AMG :)
Truck probably hit that red BMW. Love the new buy, the copart tour, and this channel. Keep it real SAMCRAC 😎
Ooo nice, would be great to see you collaborate with Alex @ LegitStreetCars 👍
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
I love the older Mercedes builds. Great content!
congratulations on all your success. you are a hard worker. inspirational
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.

Hey guys im Sam crack
awesome channel love your builds.
Btw, I have seen this coming the time you took a picture with Alex, love it ❤️❤️
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
So from everyone doing Lambos on TH-cam, we are not on AMGs? 😂
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
Love the enthusiasm. Can’t wait to see more. ☮️👍
Sam which youtube are you going to get to fix this one ?
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
I love the movies you make Brother. I can chill and learn. 💚💚
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.
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?
I love Copart I have gotten 2 BMW project cars, 2005 Mini Cooper, 2000 Honda accord V6 coupe that I’m rebuilding on my channel now check it out sam after all your the reason I have this addiction lol😉
What kind of BMWs?
Oh nice a e39 what trim is it a m? read like your last two videos
Stargate SG13 I can’t wait until I can afford to build my supra LOL
Sir, you are awesome, thanks for the insight into your rebuilds. Be Safe;-).
I am addicted to Samcrac videos. Great job bud.
The bumper on you 911 is killing me
The same thing is killing me too
killing Jakob softly, with his bumper, killing him sofffffftly withh hisss buuuuuuumpperr
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
That E55 is an incredible find, I’m very envious. Did you get a service manual to help with the air suspension removal?
Sam, loving an AMG rebuild! Keep us up to date on the Ferrari as well!
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.
"I don't see any major issues"
Missing wheel and all of the suspension components
I think he meant a huge engine mechanical issues buddy
I love your videos bro. Hope you reach 1 million.
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
