More than horsepower I find it unbelivable that you can tune those up to 1100nm of torque with just a tune, nothing else. That is almost Veyron level of torque with just a tune!
Prefer the F10 interior much more of the time. Imo from a technical standpoint this engine was solid but nowhere near as capable as its successor M177 (coming from GAD‘s standpoint). Sounded good though, that’s all that matters. Think the CLS was just the much more appealing car, even though nowadays it is pretty overhyped. For me after 2012 the real fun began, up till 2019. But that’s a bit preference.
7:36 models made before 3/2015 have a high change of having scored cylinder walls due to material they used for its coating. Models after that date have steel cylinder walls and it does not happe nanymore.
@ not really, just get a model made after 3/2015 and it will be really good, since they fixed a lot of issues. M157 is also way less complicated and easier to work on than M177 which also has it's issues.
I miss my 5.5l rwd e63 s saloon. Stock it dynoed around 540 wheel horsepower and 850nm at the crank. Beautiful ride comfort, refined and yet a beast and a half. Certainly my current 6.2l w212 is more raw and loud but not as accomplished .it has distronic but no steering pilot . Not sure whether to keep the 6.2 or get a s213 e63s
Beautiful car and fantastic vaule for money to buy. That biturbo 4.0! The noise of that engine. The comfort and looks and all the space to fit things in it if you need to! Who would say no to this beauty! It is a Autobahn rocket! ❤.
I think the 9 gear gearbox it’s not supporting the torque or at that time this gearbox was not as advanced as today to support all this power so they’ve used the 7 gear gearbox
Mercedes Benz peaked before 2012 🙏 They have done better engine and more bulletproof before . This is still my third favourite one they have done . M113k is in the number 1 spot 🤤
yeah the e55 amg really is so cool and actually crazy cheap. Peak mercedes build quality / materials too. Looked a bit dull compared to now but I actually prefer that
Old man‘s benz era. They were pretty boring before that time. If you ask me all the interesting models came from 2012-2019. Some exceptions like the SLS, SLR etc. ofc
@ You are crazy loll there is some insane amg in the 90’s and the 2000’s lolll M113k - M156 after 2014 is the time they began to downgrade a lot . A real Amg guy knows this like a wine connoisseur knows the best wine ;) Go back learning you don’t know the history behind AMG greatness like most of us knows loll I mean the real ones 😎 Search for classic amg Japan exclusives i give you a clue now take it loll
Starting to doubt future plan of upgrading my m340i to a new m2, that engine is brutal.. sounds incredible .. would they be reliable l wonder post 63K milage to drive as a daily?
Whenever I am in Zürich or crossing the border from Konstanz to Kreuzlingen I hope that I see this crazy guy in some crazy ass car honestly. It’s gonna happen just you wait 😆🤣
fun story bro im albanian, for some reason i used to think you were serbian but still watched you ignoring that "fact" cause i liked your videos so much... haha
The car is technically insanely nice, but never liked the rear of the car. Its such a shame. Looks like it was designed by an intern with hormone overdose in a hurry
I had an opportunity to drive an older ml 63amg from 2011 i think it was. It was all original. No new engine comes even close to the feeling of that rumble as it accelerates and purrs.(its not that fast ofc as the newer ones) The new 2 l engine from amg is a joke....ok it runs fast af but its too small. It has no soul, no personality whatsoever!
39k for a 2012 model? M5 2012, A8 2012, S5 2010, rs6 2012, 340i 2020, g80 2018, XJ 2012, cayenne turbo s 2012, cls 500 amg 2010, just a few to mention that are better 😊
M5. My neighbours one blew up. He brought off a Bmer guy that abused it so the moral of the story goes if you buy a car like that get a specialist to check it over.
585hp, actually as you said tuned to 650hp and almost 1knm torque in a dad car is INSANITY plus the biturbo V8 is... wow
Just tears the 7G MCT apart with 1‘000+NM in the long term
@ yeah probably, fair point 😅
When bro wake up he doesn't say good morning
He says in all honesty
@@wtfamIdoingwithmylife572 hahahah i didn’t notice, sorry
@@azizdrivesnever change!
In all honesty

But they often bend their piston connecting rod, even happens stock sometimes. Cylinder walls also arent their strength
@ cylinder walls were fixed on models made from 3/2015, they started using different material instead of that sillicon based coating stuff
One of the top wagon for that era

In other words, avoid the 5.5 liter and go for the 4.0 M177 engine

i will purchase this car very soon! currently I have a w176 A45, but i want that V8 and 0-100 in 3.6 sec.

That baritonal growl 😮 V8 sound 🎉
some videos on bmw b58 and s58 tuned would be nice too see their fuel economy on regular pump gas
and m550i
I remember going in one many years ago it was a 2014 estate. I remember thinking it's the perfect family car if you can afford the running cost
I have a 2015 non S model that I use as my daily driver and to pick my daughter up from school 🤣 'Only' 550bhp but it's wonderful. Best car I've owned
Dream car.
I think the 9 gear gearbox it’s not supporting the torque or at that time this gearbox was not as advanced as today to support all this power so they’ve used the 7 gear gearbox
"No honey, I bought it for the boot space!"
I want this
Almost got a E63 W212 facelift AMG-S but the electric power steering turned me off :(

What a goat channel
Whats a T MODEL mean ?
Touring ,Transport
I WANT THIS FUCKING CAR RAHHHHHHHHH
To me the best AMG engine is the current 4.0 v8. I had the c63s and its such a perfect engine. Sounds awesome and also pretty nice fuel economy
This thing's takeoff is in-fucking-sane, man😅😅
Mercedes has cook this car perfect
fun story bro im albanian, for some reason i used to think you were serbian but still watched you ignoring that "fact" cause i liked your videos so much... haha
i’m albanian and literally thought the same too 😭
He is Bosnian bro
aziz from serbia ahaha
Aziz listening to Albanian bangers 🤣💪
Aziz, who is the owner of the car, an Albanian?🤪🤪 ALBANER MIT GELD - AMG!!
🇦🇱 music 😂❤

@@sociaaljessie5431 none of them are actually better just as good or even worse, only the M5 would be faster

Cayenne. My God. The suspension on them. These cars go wrong and cost a fortune. The Audis I agree with you are slower cars.
The Jag does not touch that Mercedes. 340i. Forget that. The Merc would destroy that on the Autobahn.
Cls 500 is a nice car but far slower.
