I was thinking about this. I love how comfortable he is with a car id consider to be quirky. People love wha they love and I can feel the love from this video. Im here for it!
With a 55 badge the chances of it being stolen are 50X more likely than what it truly is. Look it up e 55's s55's sl 55's cl 55's are theeee most stolen outa the last 24 years of benzes
It’s a great feeling to own your dream car. I finally got my 97 Corolla 5 speed. The last dream car on my list! I actually own all 4 cars.Took 15 years!
It's a beauty. I got myself a 2008(last batch of the production) E230 S211 wagon last year, and am still so in love with it. I don't care about all the faults it may or may not get. It's a dream car thing. No matter the cost, no matter the stress, no matter the issues, I'm gonna drive this car, as long as it will drive. and with proper care they can drive a long time, which is why they were used as Taxis here in Germany. Currently it has 140k miles on the clock, 11k of which were driven by me. And it just runs. I just love it. Also did a 12hr non-stop, 700miles Trip with it, and had a blast. 210s and 211s are such great cars. Thank you for this piece of appreciation. You've done great with the video as well as with the car. Greetings from Germany.
they had that issue with the alloy though. I'm not sure whether the alloy was changed for the US imports or not. MB figured it out with the MOPF(facelift) of the 211. the first 211s (up to 2005) also deteriorated due to rust.
Your dream car almost rear-ended me today. I admired the car and cursed the driver. My uncles neighbor has 2 of that exact model, one in red and one in black. Mint condition, only 20,000 miles on one of them.
Renntechs are nuts. My old days friend father (R.I.P.) had an S65 Renntech W221. It was an unbelievable beast. 730hp kicked this thing like to the moon.
very very nice acquisition. that shape gives me the same emotion as the w123 wagon but in a more modern form....... one of the greats there mate... well done
My dad got the same car since 2002 - bought it new. Same color, same interior - only the rims are diffrent, we got some original AMG rims from 2003 😂 I never liked that car when i was a Teenager - now im in love and i will keep it forever in the Family :) But you gotta tint those back windows - else it really looks like a big Aquarium / Hearse
Glad you visited Mercedes Benz of Monterey as a local my two favorite sales reps there are Don Oster (he is retiring end of October) and Patsy Yates (Been there since 1996.) Lots of history since I done business with this dealership since 1990 when it was owned by Bill Stahl and he sold it in 2018. Glad you visited Pebble Beach you were near Bird Rock Road. Glad you had a good time. My Best, M.L.
It's good to see someone excited about a E320 wagon. I've seen a few for sale in my area here in San Luis Obispo, I like the newer wagon designs a bit more that is one. E350.
Love your wagon. Great to see you put time and effort into such a great platform. We have a ‘99 e320 4matic wagon that has been rock solid. My wife loves it and won’t get rid of it. Got it 12 years ago with 115k, now has 290k. Very easy to maintain, just don’t believe MBZ on the lifetime trans oil.
Got my e55 w210 from the original owner in 2018 from Menlo Park. There’s still a lot of original owners still driving in their s210 and w210’s in the Bay Area. Gonna make the drive to the original dealership Mercedes Benz of Stevens Creek Smythe European for the 250km award! Ya definitely got a time capsule piece with ya s210!
Omg😮 I wasn’t expecting the wagon you got to be this good right away! I love it. I would like to see what it looks like with the black center monoblocks on your sedan👍
damn bro finally someone I can relate to that also loves these cars…. Best car in the world so happy that u guys love these too on the other side of the world…. I have a prefacelift E55 here in germany 🇩🇪 Love u bro so nice to see you happy with it. Very nice video how you explained everything. Love all the other videos you did on painted grills. Always watch the other vids when I wanna do something on my E55. greetings bro
oh my good!! you literally carried out one of my reoccurring dreams ie had since the 210 debuted. this is my 2nd favorite merc next to a real premerger w124 AMG. I also dream of a company like singer but builds either full premerger tributes or full 124, 126 129, 107 and w116 with crazy built tt 4.0l. I used to drive a friend's 320 w210 and even that was killer. those headlights tickle my pickle like Recaro cse's and 993 Ruf turbo r's. what a glorious drive that had to be wagons do it better. I've always dreamed about a c126 widebody AMG with a simple shooting brake c pillar and roof section. the TEL is cool but a coupe wagon will always be cool not as useful but would that not be awesome if all my ideas came true. my friend you sound to me like you deserve this car more than any other merc guy so I hope its everything and some of what you want it to be. its pretty f-ing epic to a lover of German cars like myself. im actually lucky enough to be the curator of my brothers 21k guards 993 turbo which I love but would sell buy one of these do a 6.5 Brabus conversion and a built 996 turbo 1000+who. Sir you having outstanding taste and got one of the coolest cars on earth. I wish you well.!!!!! cheers
Honestly this is the one. I'm not sure if I'm old (I'm in my 30's) but the newer car designs just don't look good to me. This just checks everything in my book.
Congratulations well done! I can see why you were not very moved by my suggestion of importing a European diesel variant of the S210 with manual transmission.
Oh, that lady you saw that came out of her black station wagon she is a residence of Pebble Beach for sure and maybe a realtor because she looked so much like Shelly Mitchell who owns Carmel Realty with her father and mother Bill and Vicky Mitchell. To give you insight every year residence have to renew their emblem residence pass to place on their grill or windshield to get into the residence side. I'm glad you visited and had a good time.
im glad you managed to get your dream car man although its not my cup of tea its still sick to see someone obtain their dream car mine is an e92 and i had one for 6 months only drove it for a week cus the rod bearings were fucked
Here in europe theres the saying: " If you havnt found any rust on your 210 ist either freshly painted or you werent looking hard enough". Wagons are cool tho, the euro special would be a Diesel wagon :)
I have w212 avantgarde in tenorite gray paint for 5 years now. Best daily ever. I will never sell it. Merc is that kind of a car that after 20 years ( taking care) it will run like new one.
Awesome Taxi! Haha jokes aside i love old mercs! Also is that leather pull tab in the trunk OEM? What is the purpose of it looks misplaced do all wagons have it?
Hell yeah, man. I used to think the less-boxy shapes of 210s and 211s was meh, but I've slowly grown fond of them. That thing is cooler than a polar bear in winter. What big brake kit is that if I may ask?
Got this car off my dad, i have a 2000. Still stock. Light surface rust. Through some 18s on it. Now just have to drop it Should i take the SLS out if i put springs in?

Do you recommend doing an ECU Tune on a 2002 E55? (I've heard yes and no.) If so, WeissTech, Engineering, OE Tuning, etc? (I have a gutted exhaust except for the front cats and installed an "X" pipe where the front muffler/resonator was). FYI- I'm local in HB. Thx!
@@SoCal210 Thx very much for that info- Saves me $500 to $1000! Any Air-Intake system you recommend for that vehicle? Also why won't rear wheel spacers work- my differential makes a terrible grinding noise with them installed?!?! (Limited -slip clutch plates???)
The stock air intake is very good. Otherwise the only real upgrade is the air intake from the 55 kompressor cars. Your car would come with an open diff stock, if you had an LSD installed I would double check the installation. Wheel spacers won’t affect the differential. If the noise happened with you put the spacers on then most likely the bolts are making contact with something.
@@SoCal210 Again great info and thank you very much!!! I'm going to stick with my stock intake then. I'm sure my diff is stock and not a LSD. Can you recommend rear wheel spacers? What is the max spacer thickness I can run without fender interference; 20mm, 22mm, 25mm? I have stock (Aero II) wheels and my fenders have not been rolled. Thanks again- you are such a wealth of knowledge for all of us!
Idk bro I think my 1998 Lexus GS300 is the best car ever made and it was made to directly compete with your E Class and the 5 Series and IMO Lexus did it better more reliable an more timeless design that ages perfectly my uncle thought my 98 GS was a 2010 and it was the fastest sedan in the world stock from the factory at the time the 98 GS400 not the gs300 😅 but while I love my 98 GS I love the E Class aswell bc without the Eclass my GS would not have been made and it is my dream to get a wagon like yours one day
Love the folks that don't need 100k + dream cars! And love wagons!
I was thinking about this. I love how comfortable he is with a car id consider to be quirky. People love wha they love and I can feel the love from this video. Im here for it!
Ladies and gents behold, the WAGON!!!
Congrats. Leave the 55 badge. Deserves it. Needs the OG monoblocks aero 2
Working on that

It's nice to see a beautiful 210, here in Europe most of them have corroded, which is a shame because they are beautiful

Wow. Am super jealous!
As a w210 wagon owner its great to see them slowly getting the recognition they deserve. Even overseas
The entire experience is amazing. Congratulations! 👏
Congratulations on your car, she’s a beauty. I found the video super relaxing. Great job, and much happy motoring!

Thank you so much 😀
The rims you change are the best for me
Congratulations my friend 🎉🎉
This video is a reminder that if you work harder you can get anything you want ❤
Crazy how a pair of modern wheels changed the look of this! It looks so good
Yeah it really made it looks like shit, good stuff
very very nice acquisition. that shape gives me the same emotion as the w123 wagon but in a more modern form....... one of the greats there mate... well done

Best wheels I ever saw on a w210!
I couldn't stand Mercedes when they came up with these headlights. Nowadays I think it's pretty good looking. Beautiful car.
Congratulations brother
I'm own 1999 years t-model s210
Nice ride
real55....taking that back haaa, sick car, i just got my e55, the wagon is the best.....
Honestly this is the one. I'm not sure if I'm old (I'm in my 30's) but the newer car designs just don't look good to me. This just checks everything in my book.
beautiful, I watched whole vid and was daydreaming about the car
Wow the condition is 👌
Congratulations well done!
I can see why you were not very moved by my suggestion of importing a European diesel variant of the S210 with manual transmission.
Schrick made a fancy dual stage intake manifold for the old 2.8L VR6 motor. Old school.
Oh, that lady you saw that came out of her black station wagon she is a residence of Pebble Beach for sure and maybe a realtor because she looked so much like Shelly Mitchell who owns Carmel Realty with her father and mother Bill and Vicky Mitchell.

That stock black wagon was
also a looker…
Epic video for an Epic Journey 🔥🔥🔥
Congrats she’s a beautiful beast
Good Job buddy nice.
Very cool car. My 210 was the best car I've owned.
Conagratulations, I own a Baleno Altura from 01, just a head turner wherever it goes!
Congrats!🎉🎉🎉
What a beautiful wagon, congratulations 👌🏾 #ClassicMB
You are not alone.... im still waiting for mine in Kenya!!!
Wheels are fire
im glad you managed to get your dream car man
although its not my cup of tea
its still sick to see someone obtain their dream car
mine is an e92 and i had one for 6 months only drove it for a week cus the rod bearings were fucked
such an awesome car!
I'm really happy for you 👍👍
Here in europe theres the saying: " If you havnt found any rust on your 210 ist either freshly painted or you werent looking hard enough". Wagons are cool tho, the euro special would be a Diesel wagon :)
Love a good wagon
Love those, barely ever see these in sweden due to the horrible anti-corrusion from factory. These never survive winters with salted roads..
beautiful wagon, but I would go with some old school Amg deep dish wheels with polish lip
Looking fire
Would definitely be worth ceramic coating it. Makes cleaning it so easy and makes the paint pop!
Luckily it’s been ceramic coated from the previous owner and it’s the easiest car I ever washed!
This is my dream ride too.
Go WAGON or go home. Great ride brother.👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations your going to love it more than the cat
Forgot what a great car this is... ....and now I am looking at the local classified 😆
I have w212 avantgarde in tenorite gray paint for 5 years now. Best daily ever. I will never sell it. Merc is that kind of a car that after 20 years ( taking care) it will run like new one.
this but with the oz aero 3 is a must
its super bad ass SoCal
Now, that is a car
Awesome Taxi! Haha jokes aside i love old mercs! Also is that leather pull tab in the trunk OEM? What is the purpose of it looks misplaced do all wagons have it?
dream car🤩🤩🤩🤩😍
That FCP euro box in the trunk hahaha.
pretty cool
E class best cars on the road
I thought there were only sedans E55 AMG?! 0_0
Hell yeah, man. I used to think the less-boxy shapes of 210s and 211s was meh, but I've slowly grown fond of them. That thing is cooler than a polar bear in winter.
What big brake kit is that if I may ask?
Stop tech trophy kit
@@SoCal210 I am so envious I never pounced on anything like that.
That wagon is so pretty, I appreciate you sharing it. Biggest kisses.
I know the feeling
lovely motor, get some original mono blocks on her though
Were those W210 build already in US factory? or W210 was still made in Europe?
Those are used as hearses in my country 😂 they go on for over half a million miles and will outlast any Toyotas💪🏼
Está hermoso saludos desde España ❤❤❤
you did by good looking väyryssen rust free??
I think your dad should get the e430
I would have it de-badged , personally
Got this car off my dad, i have a 2000. Still stock. Light surface rust. Through some 18s on it. Now just have to drop it
Should i take the SLS out if i put springs in?
W210 estate looks like a hearse
When Mercedes built Mercedes

Congratulations. That is a really nice S210.
Question though, what is the reservoir next to windshield washer?
It’s for the self leveling rear suspension
Ive got a 2000 E55 white on panda. Interested in buying?
❤❤❤
Love these cars , sadly the U.K. cars had terrible rust problems.
what does rolled and pulled wheel wells mean?
What kind of rims are those in the start
Is that 4-matic ? Very nice, I would happily trade in or sell me E55 or E63 for an estate model. I would be happy with a clean E550 wagon!
Not a 4matic
Il manque l etoile mercedes sur le capot.😮
Are you going to use the Supersport exhaust.?
Probably
Do you recommend doing an ECU Tune on a 2002 E55? (I've heard yes and no.) If so, WeissTech, Engineering, OE Tuning, etc? (I have a gutted exhaust except for the front cats and installed an "X" pipe where the front muffler/resonator was). FYI- I'm local in HB. Thx!
