  • In this video, I explore one of the most unique wagons you'll find in the United States - a Mercedes E320 wagon, but with an E55 AMG swap under the hood! This rare W210 wagon has a 5.4L V8 from the legendary W210 E55, but that's not all… it's got a special transmission, making it one of the coolest custom builds out there. With 354 HP, incredible handling, and all the build quality you'd expect from Mercedes, this sleeper takes wagons to a whole new level.
    I take a deep dive into the car's history, performance, and its surprising connection to Chrysler models like the Dodge Charger and Magnum. From the naturally aspirated V8 to the stunning saddle interior, this car has it all - plus some dark humor and wild stories along the way.
    Make sure to check out the exhaust note and the test drive to see how this beast handles on the road!

    Those Carlsson wheels are beyond perfect on that estate wagon.

    I own a 1999 E430 saloon and two 2001 E55 AMG station wagons. Solid build, especially the E430. The V8 engines in both the E430 and E55s are very powerful, sturdy, and a delight to drive. The E55s are pure joy and amazingly fast. I believe they were nicknamed "autobahn bruiser" for the way they ate up the autobahn in Germany.

    Did a muffler delete and welded a 72mm 30" straight pipe on it...Because my work has a plethora of those tubes so it was basically scrap metal. The fact that the length fit was just perfect

    Just wanted to make sure - with the swap, you were able to keep 4Matic?
    The manual is fantastic, but would the 722.6 transmission from the E55 also mate up with the 4 Matic?

    • @therealkevincars
      @therealkevincars  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The car wasn't originally a 4matic so it was kept RWD. In europe, between 1999 and 2001 they had a limited run of 4matic E55s. Why we live in the US and don't get any of the cool stuff is beyond me. 1999 was 25 years ago...do what you will with that information.

    • @chomp_sticks
      @chomp_sticks 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      From what I can recall. The 4matic can be M113 swapped as well. However the manual portion would be tougher

    • @TheMercedesSwapShop
      @TheMercedesSwapShop 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, we’ve done a dozen or so with a lot of different engines. Paul chose to go RWD

    So our Mercedes didn’t make this from factory and they should’ve. You can get a BMW 540 ITE 39. The bill quality will not be as good as this but like from factory 6 speed v8

    • @therealkevincars
      @therealkevincars  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If they made this, they it would be $50k today and nobody would sell them. I love the E39 estate, but it didn't come in 540i/6spd combo unfortunately :(
      We can build one tho :D
