I've got a face-lift w210 e55, yes it is a beautiful looking car and pleasure to sit inside with very comfy seats and the sound it makes is undeniably one of the best pieces of music made to date....but, the big but, does it feel fast? No, unfortunately it doesn't, its not bad in a straight line but it just doesn't have that good scary thrill that you expect it feels like more noise and less movement, also around bends it feels wofty and boat like I have a w202 c43 amg also and whilst power figures are lower it is much more of a pleasure to drive feeling tight and precise perhaps it is tbe weight difference and before any one suggests the under belly of the e55 is practically all new so its not down to worn parts If I had the choice of doing it again would I buy the e55? Nope, I'd save some more and go for the e39 m5 which yes it is more money but its a whole lot more fun and will appreciate far greater in value also being a manual it adds to the driver experience I have studied both cars well as my uncle owned the e39 m5 for a few years and I was madly in love with it sadly the car is no longer with us a big mistake

@@ahmedjabbar7467 Hey Ahmad,loved reading your comment, the t.v. shows always make out every car is just phenomenal as opposed to telling the truth. Back in the 2000's I drove a couple years old one of this model and even as a learner driver ,I couldn't understand what the fuss was all about, like seriously at the time, the Subaru WRX for example was a much more violent push against the seat feeling vehicle than this Benz,look a pro driver can get it going fast ,but it's true ability to most of us is not really accessible to 99.9%of drivers including myself.

This isolated video is much better than the format that involves the fake stories and showmanship but watching some guy fixing cars who has no producers or team behind him is much more entertaining and interesting than WD is now. The format that viewers want is changing.
