I love the w211 I have now, even tho it's the e200cdi with almost 300.000km...but I hope my next car will be the w211 e55 :)) But here in norway they go for $30k - $40k...
Nice one mate your younger than my son and picked one off the best Mercedes out there The Daddy that started the power Saloon War with BMW and Audi.. I am coming up to 59 years old this is my 3rd M113K Engine car the last 2 were SL55 AMGs my son is older than you and said to me Dad why do I want a Big Engine car still now being Retired Once a petrolhead always a petrol head ( You look class I will have to put my togs on give it a hint off Peaky blinders E55 AMG style ❤
I dream of an E55.. I own E500 from new from 2003 in black and grey. I gotta have an E55.. I had a chance to buy one next a C6 Convertible in 2017 but I chose the Corvette. Next time it will be E55.
The recipe of this car is basically the same as a hellcat , it was before its time! Marvelous. didnt they have a suncell on the roof to charge the 12v batteri because of the heavy electronics?
Very nice e55!! The last year w211 e55 was 2006, but the last w211 AMG was the e63, which then followed in the w212 and so on! Beautiful car by all means!!
I have the airmatic suspension on my E55 and I never had issue with it plus I prefer it over coilovers cause when it’s steep ass driveways etc all you gotta do is raise it up lol 😂
@@alextidstromit’s a tune for the gearbox as yours is a later one being 06 has the faster solenoids so tune gives you extra drive mode so gearbox has more quicker aggressive gear changes done by TJ merry well known for his TCU tunes for AMG not that expensive and you get sent a complete TCU and takes minutes to swap out not laptop or coding. Many of E55 owners have this.
@@alextidstromloads just search TJ merry or MK ultra E55 TCU tune one of them has same settings as SLR McLaren he has various tunes for varying levels of speed and there’s plenty of aftermarket upgrades for the box that can make it shift like a dual clutch Alex at legitstreetcars has messed around extensively with his. EVOGT has MK Uktra tune with SLR settings as well and few others.
Well I think you just found the perfect car. I love mine and damn yours looks amazing!
Thank you mate appreciate it a lot! 😍
Well, that was refreshing.
Good luck on the new series. Looking forward to see more of this!
Thank you maestro! Advice on cars for coming episodes are welcome! 🙏🙏

W211 is really nice! Best MBs!
Good video as usual, really beautiful car you have☺️
Thank you Charlie! Appreciate it! 😃
I drive a w211 m156 e63 amg, I think keeping the airbags & upgrading the system is better than coilovers.
It probablt is, i just dont want future problems ! 🥹
@@alextidstrom I understand

Damn hell yeah! Once m113 you dont look back 😃😃
SL55s are hella nice!!
Man I need one of these
Love these cars! Best bang for the buck!
nice!!! The series begins!!!
And so it begins my friend 😍
dont replace headlight glass, just get a restoration they will look brand new. have a PPF installed to protect the headlights
I wanna get the black housings bro! Think it looks sick! And for that I need to take em apart anyway! 😃😃
@@alextidstrom Yes i think u can take them apart and paint them it would look sick black on inside. U wanna sell those wheels??
@uzzle21 think it looks dope when u paint em!
Maybe yeah! Just got em thought 😄😄

Dang e500s are dope man ! Yeah u should they’re great cars! 😍

That actually might be correct now that u mention it! Have to look it up 🫡🫡🫡
@@alextidstromactually it is bro the E55 is the OG Hellcat
Very nice e55!! The last year w211 e55 was 2006, but the last w211 AMG was the e63, which then followed in the w212 and so on! Beautiful car by all means!!
Correct! Always loved the sc v8s in the 55s. 63s are cool as well with the NA sound 😍
The last year E55 was 2006 not 07. 07 w211 was the e63.
Riktigt najs specad E55.
Tack! Dene fan grym! 🤩🤩
@@alextidstrom Det är dröm specen asså
Very nice car
Thank you so much!
I have the airmatic suspension on my E55 and I never had issue with it plus I prefer it over coilovers cause when it’s steep ass driveways etc all you gotta do is raise it up lol 😂
I agree air suspension is nicer but I know it’s very common with failure, so i felt like i had too 😂😂
@@alextidstrommines hasn’t failed tbh if we really speaking 😂
😂😂😂😂
@@alextidstrom better then coilovers for this model tbh I’ve driven cars with. Coilovers all my life this feels like an upgrade 😂😂
@@ronslife3396 i honestly dont mind it 😄
Hey man random but I was wondering what ur height was? I’m in the market for one and am 6’6 and was hoping it would have enough headroom
Hey mister! I’m 6,3” and i still have some head room! You should be ok! 😃
@@alextidstrom oh awesome, that’s great to hear, thanks!
So why is the check engine light on?? - what is the code??
It comes and goes! I haven’t checked actually! Runs fine so probably a sensor
Isn’t the last w211 I have the e63 buddy
Correct but the last 55 is 2006
It is possible to put a newer model low mileage e63 engine swap into a e55?
Definitely!
I would rebuild the M113K instead of an M156 swap. The M113K is a superb engine, and I have an Edition 507 with the M156.
the car is a 10....
Glad u like it! Most underrated for sure 😃
@@alextidstrom I have an 05’ from new. It’s been one of the most reliable mercs I own. 135K miles now..
Just get a MK Ultra TCU tune
What is that? 😃😃 i mean a tune but what’s the fuzz about it? 😃

@richardjudge1955 thank you for the great answer! Are there any videos about that on yt? 😃
