I have an 07 E63 wagon. Initial maintenance was horrible. And they are kinda fragile. But the engine's been fine. In my 5 years with it, nothing on the engine has failed. The N/A 6.3 L V8 is a marvel. It was designed by the same guy who designed the V10 in the Porsche Carrera GT. Really one of the greatest engines ever made.
@@itsreallyjakub a bunch of electrical gremlins. I'm told that the E55 doesn't have as many as the E63 so that's good for you. Other stuff was the fuel pumps, the air shocks, and some other air suspension gremlins. Still love it, though. Similar to you, I brought my son home in it. Don't think I'll ever sell it.
I have over 204k miles on my 05 E55 wagon and have beat on it like a rented mule for 6 years. I just got a blackstone oil analysis and it says it's healthy as can be.
I really enjoy your channel. I'm a subscriber to the straight pipes, but I'm definitely more of a used car guy myself. I like that you're just a normal dude who's living his dream and bringing us along for the ride! The wagon looks sick bro. Congratulations and well bought!
Fire setup you got there. Keep these E55 wagon videos coming. Just got my E55 AMG wagon for Xmas (after many years of searching for the right one to come by), 05' White with VRP mods, E63 exhaust, and 1" lowering link. My kids love it; especially when I let them ride in the 3rd row.
Proud to have witnessed all you saying on your channel "The straight pipes" which led me here on your personal TH-cam channel. Keep up the great work. Reaching you all the way Ghana 🇬🇭
I prefer the look of your winter wheels. They just fit the car so well like it was meant to be. Fun to try new looks though, and I don't hate the new summers, just not my preference.
The E55 doesn’t look as good as the later E series cars, but that supercharged 5.4 makes up for a lot. They also look much better as a long roof. Love it!
Hi Jakub, your videos are really inspiring me to look for an older AMG. I'm looking for a W211 sedan. Hope this thing continues to treat you well and keep the content coming!
I like the E55 Wagon better than the C63 Wagon…nice choice with the OEM rims for your summer setup…I liked the JDM grille on the E55…I have no idea what car is calling your name but I think you would dig an Audi R6 Wagon.
Funny thing, just last year I was battling with the exact same decision. I previously had a W211 which I absolutely loved, and only let go because it was totaled in an accident with a moose, and it was going to be either another one of those or a newer model. Partly inspired by you guys' video on TheStraightPipes, I ended up getting a 2019 E63S wagon. I absolutely love the car, but if I'm being totally honest, I got a bit jealous watching this video. The classic Mercedes look of the W211, especially in the front, and the hood ornament... it just does it for me. Anyways, congrats on the car and the setup!
Wow that wheels actually looks sick. I never like unconventional looking wheels but that just looks good, and the fact that it's an OEM Mercedes is just perfect. What is it called again? Also thanks for not modding it further, it's really perfect as it is now!
Really like the summer wheels. Might be a little early? You do live up north, might have a little snow yet....? Like the new channel a lot. It's a departure from just reviewing new cars.
Yuri’s Prowler would smoke this wagon, even more so if he has the matching trailer hooked up. Jk jk, I absolutely love the AMG wagons. Nothing like the sound of an AMG v8 at full throttle. Also, great videos and keep up the awesome work! *also, sick wheels!!
Taking mine to Toronto Motor sport park April 20th for a quarter mile pull. You should bring this! If it doesn't rain ofcourse. P.s this guy inspired me to buy my E55 wagon. Like Jakub, I was torn between the M156 or the M113k.
Jakub, the next time you guys are in Los Angeles for a press event, if you're interested, I'm an auto journalist based near LAX and I have an LS3 swapped Buick Roadmaster Wagon that you guys could check out. Not as cool as yours, but it's my dadmobile and gets up and goes, hahaha.
Great ride. Looks awesome. I’ve been eyeing them for years but, as you note, in the US they are very expensive. Fortunately, now with F-Pace SVR and SQ7 prices dropping so aggressively there are other fun options. Not wagons but great V8 monsters nonetheless.
I bought mine, so many time to find one in france, same color, interior and wheel. Where you find the number produce ww, in search but nerver found ? Thanks to LSC to give me want this cool car😅
Ha no. But I did use that to convince Indy shops that Mercedes AMG wasn’t scary. I’m not sure if you ran into it but when you’re calling around asking about differential rebuilds, they kind of shut down when you use the word Mercedes.
Did i inspire this video after I asked you about the Alphard fitment? Also RS4 wagon? They're pricey but will only go up. Its an incredible ride, way more sporty than the e55
The JDM front grill is low key sick though. I’d have kept it. My guess - CTS-V Wagon? And don’t forget the M5 Touring is right around the corner! Just incase your budget becomes 200k in the future. Ha
Where in Canada do you live that you can swap to Summer tires already? Here in Vermont, we just got 2 feet of snow and I know most of Canada is still getting a lot of snow for the next month or so. Stoked wagon though, and also we never recommend just using the hydraulic jack to keep the car up. Should always use jack stands once it is jacked up. Just saying on that. Next wagon for you is a 2015 Volvo V60 Polestar?
Toronto. As of tomorrow, it’s double digits (Celsius) forecast for the rest of the month so I’m good to go! 7 degrees Celsius is the turning point for summer tires
@@itsreallyjakub nice, but I really didn't mean for you to spell the beans on your home area. Yeah here it is gonna sky rocket in temperature, but looks like some more snow coming in two weeks. Well say there is a 2017 Volvo V60 Polestar not that far from you for sale, in the low $20's. ;)
For someone wanting to get into an m113k car, check out an S55 AMG. They go for less than 13k all day. I picked my S55 for 7k but requires some non critical repairs. E55 have the youtuber tax.
It instantly turns white though. Maybe some weird white balance thing with the camera. Also only does it when it goes through the mufflers which I never use closed so maybe the packing is still burning off lol
@@itsreallyjakub if its only at startup. especially only when motor is cold, could be valve stems seals. Oil leak past the valve stem and into the ports. They're cheap to replace and make a great video. Have to pull the head off though.
@@itsreallyjakub yeah that one might be above my pay grade as a armchair mechanic. Was thinking Pcv valve and back pressure but that doesn't interact with exhaust system
How sick are my wheels for my Original German Hellcat Wagon?
I hope 18”-19” becomes a trend. No need to sacrifice sidewall, as long as you got sick design wheels like yours👍
Love them especially when it’s lowered
Did you consider a Panamera Turbo?
She’s sick! Love the wheel choice!
@@hyogomarume8345 I think 19“ is the sweet spot, in terms of both, style and and also good handling.
Thanks for fitting back the oem grill and star 😭
Love the unique rims!
Thanks!

Love the grill, those wagons are so great and are so low profile to most people and the stock grill helps that look.

Had two e55's. Great car no major issues at all. The wagon just looks sick. Forgot to mention the wheels look really good and matches the car.
Great to hear
@@itsreallyjakub hi good t-shirt, NOT joke, Mercedes good for many military forces

Have an e55 amg 31000 km 2004 what price do they go for
Thank you for changing the grille!
I still have the old one, and another all black stock one (in rough shape) haha

Love the wheels although I prefer the JDM grill because it looks more Yakuza!!! Love your wagon Jakub!
So cool that you have that channel!
🫡
Those wheels 😍. Love the car too. I've always wanted the w210 e55. Maybe one day.
So sick man! I need one in my life
It's just perfect ❤ the wheels are 10/10 the right wheel for the right car
🥰
The grill is so much better this way :D Awesome car.
Wow that wheels actually looks sick. I never like unconventional looking wheels but that just looks good, and the fact that it's an OEM Mercedes is just perfect. What is it called again? Also thanks for not modding it further, it's really perfect as it is now!
Thanks! Alphard
Nice wheels Jakub ! Hope to see you guys at another coffee and cars again.
For sure!
Those wheels are SICK
Really like the summer wheels. Might be a little early? You do live up north, might have a little snow yet....? Like the new channel a lot. It's a departure from just reviewing new cars.
Definitely a touch early but I’m travelling and the weather looks great for the rest of the month
that summer set up, *chefs kiss*
😘
Hey, can you link your lowering module? Cool ride looks great!
I have the same car in Designo brilliant silver with Designo interior. My has 476hp here in Germany. Love the cat and the power.
Love the silver
I like the wheels. Telling the Rex it came from your homeland made me laugh.
Just came here for the HELLCAT commentary, ended up watching to the end. Well done @itsreallujakub
Appreciate that
Great wheel choice
Alex from Legit is the reason I bought my CL55 and its now getting Whippled lol
Your next car… RS4 Avant?
Alex the influencer!! Good guess
Binging on Alex’s AMG content during COVID lockdown is the reason why there’s an E55 in my garage now. lol Best decision I ever made.
CTSV Wagon with a 6MT or maybe a BMW M5 Touring E61 w/ a manual?
i was waiting for those wheels, they are amazing
Thanks
Looks good! I couldn't find a decent set of these and went with some Rotiform CVTs which have a similar vibe.
Those clear your brakes? I find they didn’t offer any wide sizes I wanted and the offsets wouldn’t clear my big amg brakes
@@itsreallyjakub Needed a 7mm spacer to clear fronts. Used a 10mm on rear for fitment.
Definitely great choice with the wheels...it looks bonkers!
Yeah I’m really happy with them.
Yuri’s Prowler would smoke this wagon, even more so if he has the matching trailer hooked up. Jk jk, I absolutely love the AMG wagons. Nothing like the sound of an AMG v8 at full throttle. Also, great videos and keep up the awesome work!
*also, sick wheels!!
Nice vid bro! Keep up the good work 🔥 subbed 🙏
Thanks
Those wheels remind me of the film ‘ Krull’ 🫡 cool.
Didn’t know it was a LHD E55 pretty cool
You rock Jakub! Can you talk to Yuri... He really needs a reprogram to v8s....
I’ve tried. He just likes shitboxes too much
Wheels looks 🔥🔥🔥. Where did you get the lambo ride on - looking for one for my son too! Love the channel man!
Taking mine to Toronto Motor sport park April 20th for a quarter mile pull. You should bring this! If it doesn't rain ofcourse. P.s this guy inspired me to buy my E55 wagon. Like Jakub, I was torn between the M156 or the M113k.
Awesome!! That’s too early for me haha. Need warmer ground temps to hook up
London wheel repair is good, my neighbours are not to happy with the Borla Atak on the Durango 392 lol
Living my dream man!
I’m living my own dream! 🥰

That’s sick as hell, thanks! We’re in San Diego soon by the event is so jam packed there’s zero spare time anyway haha
Dream Car period...
Absolutely love the wheels 😍😍😍
Thanks!
Great ride. Looks awesome. I’ve been eyeing them for years but, as you note, in the US they are very expensive. Fortunately, now with F-Pace SVR and SQ7 prices dropping so aggressively there are other fun options. Not wagons but great V8 monsters nonetheless.
I was actually wrong, the prices have dropped a heap. Hmm. You have my attention.
Get yourself a cheap wheel hanger and you won't have to balance those wheels on your ankles while you line up the wheel bolts with the hub! 😁🤣
Love the wagon dude
The C63 is calling you
Not the new one I hope! Lame…
Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon soon? 👀
Why are there so few available in the US? In EU there are dozens for sale everywhere.
Because they only sold 195 in the US and 8 in Canada where I live
Love all Merc wagons
I bought mine, so many time to find one in france, same color, interior and wheel. Where you find the number produce ww, in search but nerver found ? Thanks to LSC to give me want this cool car😅
Same rear end as the SRT-8. Which unfortunately for my S211 AMG, I had to replace ;(
Did you replace it with the SRT8 part number lol
Ha no. But I did use that to convince Indy shops that Mercedes AMG wasn’t scary. I’m not sure if you ran into it but when you’re calling around asking about differential rebuilds, they kind of shut down when you use the word Mercedes.
The "maybe new" one a CLS63 SB?
Did i inspire this video after I asked you about the Alphard fitment?
Also RS4 wagon? They're pricey but will only go up. Its an incredible ride, way more sporty than the e55
I filmed this last week when the weather was nice lol
Car is awesome. Are the headlights aimed in the proper direction for North America though?
No I’ve been meaning to adjust the height but I keep forgetting 😂 I’m sorry everyone
does lowing the car with the standard air suspension put more stress on it? Alphards are sick btw
Probably
Like the car, love Rex
Those wheels are beautiful
🙏
🐐🐐🐐🐐 set up
🫡
These are great cars! Their achilles heel is heat soak.
That’s right
Cars yeah yeah... hi puppy!! Lol Wagons are legit cool. If I didn't need a truck I'd have a wagon.
The JDM front grill is low key sick though. I’d have kept it.
My guess - CTS-V Wagon? And don’t forget the M5 Touring is right around the corner! Just incase your budget becomes 200k in the future. Ha
It’s still in storage. Great guess. M5 Touring no chance lol

E55 have the youtuber tax.
I looked at S55 but all the other electrical and suspension stuff scares me
The 2012+ E-Class have the m157 engine with turbos until 2016, not m156
Yes I was talking about 2 different cars.
Nice exhaust setup btw
i see blue smoke 10:40
It instantly turns white though. Maybe some weird white balance thing with the camera. Also only does it when it goes through the mufflers which I never use closed so maybe the packing is still burning off lol

No smoke on start up. These were engine fully warmed, cold weather revs, only when the valves for the mufflers were closed
@@itsreallyjakub yeah that one might be above my pay grade as a armchair mechanic. Was thinking Pcv valve and back pressure but that doesn't interact with exhaust system
Are you looking for a 4.0 V8 AMG wagon?
Anyway, this one looks sick.
Nice summer wheels.
Glad you like them!
Is the car you'd replace the wagon with the yellow AWD Lambo you tested recently?
No I can’t fit my whole family in it
@@itsreallyjakub Still have the Raptor?
You can tell it’s age by the months it was took to change gears
RS4 B7 Avant. Thats my guess!
buddy is defo getting an e60 M5 touring next.
It’s still on the list but I just don’t know if I can stomach/afford the maintenance lol
RS6, cognac interior 👌
Awesome Boss 👌
Love the car. Cool dog, but… Rex? Did you google “what is the most basic dog name?”
I had the name picked out since I was 5 years old and wanted a German Shepherd. So, yes
S204 C63 507 Wagon?
13:00 E39 Touring M5? 🤔
Great choice
ALPHARDS FOR THE WIN!
💪
CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake
I’m guessing either a
CT5 V Blackwing or a Hellcat with a manual transmission
Solid choices
@@itsreallyjakub ok…what about a Shelby GT500?
@@itsreallyjakub wait I know…a Charger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak wide body in Plum Crazy.
Now I'm curious as to what actual SRT rims would look like on the wagon 🤣
I can photoshop that for Instagram
@@itsreallyjakub that would be amazing
Newer e63 or a cts v wagon
They used to that a steeper car car that look normal but where super fast
Cayenne GTS 6-speed?
polish those headlights, i want to see it sparkle
I did, twice. It’s internal. Too much work to swap the lenses
Ok I kinda want one now
RS6?
R8 v10?
Bro the price wheels looked way better, shoulda repaired those
On point!
Yeah wagons are cool.
Imma guess a CTSV Wagon or Audi RS6 Avant or the e63s
All great guesses
