As a note, I think the E55 is a reliable car in general. The problems mentioned in this video are the things you should be looking out for - by no means does that imply that all E55s will have these problems.
Have you heard about the o-ring of the oil pump line that will get hard and therefore leaky at some point? I have seen some video from the channel sk8215 who had the same exact problem on two engines. Just consider looking up that problem as it can simply cut the oil feed to your engine. Here's the video i've ment th-cam.com/video/_TG9Und29dI/w-d-xo.html
CMPNKTCW saw a video of a guy hear on youtube installing a new pulley bearing using his stove oven and freezer. It was amazingly funny, because it appeared to work.
I have 2 w211 E55 and E500 and both came the fuel sender leaking from the top where the gas runs and both had the one sunroof drain corroded. Particularly the passenger front side
I'm glad you mentioned transmission fluid, it is extremely important. I now change it regularly in all my vehicles. When automatic transmissions give out, they're so expensive to rebuild and replace. Simply changing the fluid every 25,000-30,000 miles is all it takes for the transmission to last the lifetime of the vehicle.
After looking for almost a year, I finally pulled the trigger on a 2006 E55 AMG yesterday. I have watched your 'buying advice' video several times and I watched/listened again on my way to see the car, just to make sure everything was fresh in my mind. Mine looks just like yours haha. THANK YOU, MAN!
Thanks for all the info on the E55. I'm not sure why but I've got a "maybe I should have one of these" going on in my brain. Currently, my daily is a 14 E550 w/around 575 horses (a sleeper w/no other mods) and is as dependable as designed. The more I watch these vids about the older E- AMG's the more interest I have. As it is with my 550 it could be the raw power under the hood with that supercharger. Had a Jag/Ford R and that was a fun car.
Bro, thank you for this selfless thoughtful video, much appreciated. You are what the true spirit of the internet was created for. My daily is an 06' E55. I will follow your supercharger oil instructional to switch it out, thanks again!
@@chickencurry1435 It's a fun ride. I think it was meant to be driven in "Sport mode" all the time. I can't explain it, but everything runs like it was tuned for sport mode especially. Try both modes for yourself, enjoy!
@@franciscoaponte1390 Depends on the condition. I'd recommend a test drive. Might be ending up spending some $ to fix a few things but parts are plentiful. Also, like beauty, the value is in the eye of the beholder so only you can answer that question. Good luck.
Also, watch out for the sbc, (sensotronic braking system) this can go out without warning and the only way you will know it's faulty is if the braking goes out all together
when you put your foot in it, it puts a boot in the ass of even Corvettes. How they manage to make a 4500 lb tank get up n go TAT fast ins a minor miracle. Near fatal bicycle accident cost me all my finances and unfortunately, my 06 E55 beast. I miss that car EVERY DAY and when God blesses me back with money I will not get a new one but a great shape 06 E55 again. NOTHING beats that unreal torque. 540 ft lbs at less that 2000 rpm is insane. Boot it from 60 to 100+ mph and it STILL pins you against the seat... truly insane. As an ex motocross racer I had to take the AMG Academy driving class cos I was trying to use it like a race car. Its NOT...its a big heavy REALLY FAST street car. :-)
one other thing to look for/be ready to replace is the two piece idler for the supercharger belt drive. it can shear and toss the belt around and is around 600 bucks for just the idler. aftermarket ones are cheaper but grenade pretty fast.
have you done a video on the motor mounts in a 2006 cls 55 amg? I think i heard you say you would. If not please do, You have a nice direct and smooth style that inspires confidence
E55s for the most part are solid. Problem is when shit goes they’re expensive fixes that cost $1000 and more to fix . Mine has over 200,000 miles on it . I’ve taken mine to the dealership only because the few times I’ve taken to other shops someone fucks something up and we are talking simple things. Right now I’m in litigation with Service Street in Snellville Ga because they took it out for a so called test drive for an alignment and somehow my radiator decided to crack after they did it. I would’ve gone to the dealership for the alignment too but would’ve had to make an appointment.
2004 e320 radio goes out. fuel gauge does not work sometimes. my fuel pump failed. left me stranded. the e class is cheaply made but I still love mine. engine mounts out, ball joints out
Very good video, covered all the stuff most other videos discuss, with that said these cars still scare the HELL out of me with all their "This may happen" problems. One thing you did not mention is Heater Cores and A/C condensers which are mounted as like all cars deep inside the dash. This is a 5K Labor job, not to mention the OEM parts price.
Great video ..One tip ,,Crank position sensor should be replaced as preventative maintenance if it has not already been done...they can fail without any warning...especially after a long drive in hot weather..don't ask me how I know...
Back in Sep 2014 I bought a 2005 W220 S65 AMG. It was really nice and well taken care of with just 29400 miles on it. But the dealer screwed me big time! The left rotor was uneven due to corrosion, and the left power steering tube leaked badly! Nothing that the dealer mentioned, and before we signed the deal I asked him to lift the car for me, he said his lift is busy working on a car with transmission issues. So anyway, I signed the deal and set myself back about $3800. Isn't that great??? Anyway, I still have the car, I love it so much that I'll never sell it. The maintenance is not cheap, but who said a V12 is cheap to own? Next week I'm shifting to new summer tires, Michelin Sport 4S. Including the tires, inspection of the entire car and engine, service, front break pads and rotors, new tube, undercoating, changed oil and filter in the ABC system, new GPS CD, I've spend approx $14000 on it. What the hell.... you only live once... enjoy it! PS: You can check out the car on FB page AMG of sweden.
mikealanzo you are having more fun with that car than the person that paid $125,000 for it 10 years ago so 14 Grand isn't too bad if you got everything running
They don't make them like the W220 design anymore, besides, this is a car that pave the road for all MB V12's since 2005, and how many V12 S65 do you see on the roads these days? In Sweden where I live there are 4, including mine, in the entire country where 1 is for sale .
Got a E500 for 15000 AUD bargain spend about 3000k replacing coils and plugs. And one shock and starter motor. Best Buy in my life. Still after a FPV GT but that can wait i’ll won’t ever go to a Ford Mustang after seeing the quality of a MB
Rear subframe bushings are known to fail also characterized by a klunking from the rear on a uneven/rough road. Replacing them is a bitch but us aftermarket poly bushings and never have an issue again!
On the lookout for this beast now, just doesn`t seem to be any in my area & i`ll have to travel. Shame the majority are bloody silver though, I saw a colour coded black masterpiece in a carpark not so long ago......... now your talking!
I have an e55 AMG for sale black with black full alpine f1 sound system bullet proof glass. All extras from Mercedes. 40,000 miles on the clock bought in 2003 for £170,000. Full service history if you want photos send me your email
Fellow Canadian from Calgary here. Thanks for your series of videos on this amazing platform! I own an 2006 SLK55 AMG which also uses the M113 engine - although NA. Very enjoyable car ... “special” in fact. I maintain it myself and can relate to your comments regarding how inexpensive AMG cars can be to purchase (post-depreciation) and maintain (code readers, tools and internet savvy). May I ask if you are running wheel spacers? Your car has great stance!
no its not ok for air suspension to lower itself if you don't drive it for weeks!!! it's a leak or valve problem...however its ok for hydrolic suspentions on high spec models....(s55 kompressor, cl500+,s600, s65 nd so on)
I like your content. an interesting question is a list with AMG models that have limited slip diff. I know it makes quite a difference in traction. Do all AMGs have it? If no, how to tell?
As I always tell people who are want to buy any Mercedes-AMG: Buy one owner car, all services at MB dealer, no tunning at all, all stock, don't buy from students/young people. Once car stopped visiting MB dealer, run away from this car. To get fix a beaten up Mercedes-AMG even by yourself will cost you $$$. Do at least major services at MB dealers. Can't pay at dealer than you can't afford to maintain this car. Just my $ 0.02
good stuff ,yeah arnott is good but i got one from them a defective one last year but i havent replaced or called them yet due to me concentrating on fixing the abc pump and abc power steering hose
The Problem is that you drive the cars wrong . Playing race car driver from 0 - 60 is not good for the engine . In Germany we drive them on the freeway at high speeds until the exhaust is white . That way you clean out the engine properly.
when you say...'pre inspection' of car before purchasing. do you recommend doing this at a certified Mercedes dealership....or will a reputable certified mechanic at a 'local shop'....do this 'pre-inspection' as well? thanks!
I'm loving this car and cls55 I have the cls550 09 so everyone is saying the cls55s handles better than e55s my question is do the e55s handle better than a cls550 non amg because I'm going to look at clean e55 and the cls55s are stupid rare
my e55 has a gas smell but ONLY when the tank is full, I received the warranty extension but I'm wondering how much it could cost me to get this fixed and if it will even be covered
Paul Lowell I called them and they said I have to pay for an inspection, like $150, and if they determine that that's correct then they will fix it but if it's anything else it could be pretty spendy. I'm wondering what's going to happen in my specific situation
I found a E55 AMG 2005 with 80,000 miles for 12,000 here in the U.S. only problems are the motor mounts and transmission mounts how hard would you say they are to replace yourself?
Pretty much the transmission and engine stuff that I mentioned. With the C55 you don't have to worry about air suspension, bad radiators, and the SBC braking system which I mention in my other video. The C55 is a very reliable car.
Rotating Cupboard It does not go out until higher mileages. Also, it’s still covered by warranty in the US. I’ve also heard of goodwill repairs outside of the US.
I have seen the SK8215 videos where he finds this issue. In his case they were both high mileage engines with unknown servicing. If your E55 is maintained by the book in terms of oil changes, you should never run into this issue. If you have a high mileage engine and are concerned, the easiest solution is to add an oil pressure sensor and monitor that.
As a note, I think the E55 is a reliable car in general. The problems mentioned in this video are the things you should be looking out for - by no means does that imply that all E55s will have these problems.
Have you heard about the o-ring of the oil pump line that will get hard and therefore leaky at some point?

Tip: supercharger pully, bearing wears out and tends to make a loud grinding noise at start and when normally driving
Mine did both the radiator and bearing... I think the bearing is pretty common to my buddy had to replace his.

I will own either a E55 or CLS55 one day. I currently own a 2006 S350 and love it. I love videos like this that talk in detail about these vehicles.
Have you gotten the E55 ?
Sweet machine! The front look of that car is timeless.
it's the old classic look from back 20yrs ago ✌️
Also, watch out for the sbc, (sensotronic braking system) this can go out without warning and the only way you will know it's faulty is if the braking goes out all together
My dad currently has one of these and its absolutely brilliant! 🖒
If my dad had this I'd be pushing thing out of the driveway in neutral every night to go take it racing lol
Really like your channel. I'm preparing to look at a low mileage 2006, and this video is excellent.
Wow this was actually a great review. Definitely deserves many more views.
Thanks!
The w203/w211 are absolutely stunning. I currently drive a W203, but i prefer the E-class over the C-class. One day i will own this beast.

Beautiful motor
my e55 has a gas smell but ONLY when the tank is full, I received the warranty extension but I'm wondering how much it could cost me to get this fixed and if it will even be covered

I found a E55 AMG 2005 with 80,000 miles for 12,000 here in the U.S. only problems are the motor mounts and transmission mounts how hard would you say they are to replace yourself?
Such a great car.
What is a good millage to buy an E55 at. What's considered high mileage
Can you please make more w211 e63 videos I’m gonna get an 09 soon
I found a 2005 e55 for 15k at 160k miles is it worth to get it at that many miles. It’s a one owner car.
Too old for 15k I sold a 2005 4 years ago with 87k miles for 9k
I have a 2005 E55, is it normal to have some crank case pressure in the motor? The car has150k miles runs perfect.
Definitely get a PPI!
Just beautiful.
What's with the flickering on the camera lens? Was it raining?
Is it only 2003 radiator issue? Looking at a 04’ that has 160,000km
Is $18k for an 06 CLS55 AMG (similar car) with only 68k miles and some mods to give it 600 hp steep? I do see 100+k mile E55 AMGs going for $25k
Hi can you tell me what is your paint code ?
My E55 is black but I wanted it to be silver like yours
How many of these problems are carried over to the C55?
Pretty much the transmission and engine stuff that I mentioned. With the C55 you don't have to worry about air suspension, bad radiators, and the SBC braking system which I mention in my other video. The C55 is a very reliable car.

If you have a high mileage engine and are concerned, the easiest solution is to add an oil pressure sensor and monitor that.
