I own a 04 E55 almost 3 years of ownership and what a power machine! I still smile when I push the pedal to the metal 😎

[@alexyoung478]

Awesome review and the information is correct, I own a E55, preventive maintenance is key for reliability, I love mine 👍🏻

[@33adrenaline]

i have a e55 amg and just turned 100k on the clock and running great run mobil1 5w-30 and changed plugs rear diff oil and stuff. next things might be akebono brake pads and rotors and alex young any suggestions to what else i should do ??

[@hummerarabia007]

As a W211 E63 owner myself, the earlier models of the M156 engine is prone to have a headbolt failure. It can break and let the coolant into the engine and cease it completely which is very expensive . I personally experienced the problem myself. Do check for the faulty engine number of the faulty model from the mb database.

[@bongaisimba]

Such a brilliant video!

[@kittypigeonclueless5566]

very good review! You hit all the key problems with the vehicle. Perhaps note that the m113k engine especially puts out a lot of heat. The heat does a number on all the rubber vacuum hoses, electrical insulation on wires and the damn plastic y and t connections on the radiator hoses which will disintegrate and cause the coolant to leave the engine in a rapid mannner.

[@aminramzi9797]

Great video Boss👍🏻. Please bring a Skoda superb review

Mercedes extended the warranty on the SBC brake system to 25 years unlimited miles.

[@offradar31]

Jetta Red really? Where can i check

[@TheTAEclub]

really?

[@rickybobby5950]

Warranty is for real, my E55 (2 owner, 100k miles, full MB service records) started coding for SBC right after I purchased it, took it to MB and they fixed it and it didn’t cost me a cent and I got to drive a new loaner for a few days.

Hi . nice job . can you make for the previous gle pls ?

[@supercricketfanatic]

I have a w211 2009 E63. So far owned it for 12k miles and it is now on 145k miles. The only issue I had so far is the rear main seal leak which cost $800 to fix at an indy mechanic in Texas. Otherwise, the w211 cars are pretty easy to maintain in my opinion

[@miseryparty3726]

how is it today?

[@JobyStaneslavose]

do a video on 'the best cars under EUR 10,000'. you can make different variations, performance, luxury etc..

[@user-dp2tf5od5n]

hey man i need advice from you you reviewed both this and rs6 c6 and said both are reliable if you know please tell me whitch is more reliable and witch maintaining will be less expensive ( i am worried about rs6 twin turbo v10 it does now sound reliable and resonable to maintain how would you compare it to these two mercedes v8 engines) and if you had to chose based only on maintance cost witch of these two would you pick? thanks a lot man in advence :)

An amazing car! Still tempted to buy one. Probably one of the best Benz engines ever produced.

5.5 or 6.2?

[@michaelrackson9784]

Definitely not the best Benz engine ever produced lmao or even close...

Michael Rackson Then what is the best engine lol

[@michaelrackson9784]

Muhamed Pekmez in terms of reliability or performance? M177 is great

[@Mo-ij8re]

Can’t find these any where within 100 miles of my area

[@MichaelSmith-ov1nf]

Thinking of buying a 2008 E63 AMG. Head bolt problem has been fixed should I buy it and use it as a daily ?

[@andrasracz7117]

An AMG isn't really for daily driving. For that purpose there is the e500.

[@deyoviC]

The SBC can be reprogrammed for dirt cheap and still work as new since there's nothing wrong with it, it just achieved the programmed amount of breaks.

[@DanielReyes-ut9xi]

Mind ellaborating?

[@jorgechiubomberos]

Can you please do clk w 209? Please

[@billl8530]

I have one. A 2004 CLK55 AMG

[@blekansikt]

Bill Lunebach I have just bought one, receiving it about 1 week from now. What are your experiences?

[@andrasracz7117]

Mine has had a faulty air suspension compressor. Dealership gave me a quote of £1200 to replace. Bought one from E-bay (brand new aftermarket) for £138 and replaced in 40 minutes. I can imagine a Mercedes technician can do it even quicker so don't think that is a fair price from the dealership. Definitely not since I know the material would cost £360 the rest of it is the labour. The aftermarket compressor works 2,5 years ago. There is one thing regarding the M156 engine which is becoming a common issue. I know because mine has got that issue between the firsts, but since that I found many others reported. That issue is the fuel injector can stuck when it is open, so it can pour petrol into the combustion chamber very quickly causing a hydrolocked engine. I was lucky because mine done it when engine was off so after the first cranking it got locked but the connecting rod did not bend. The injectors are cheap and even cheaper because the dealership gives some money back to you when you returning the old injectors, so it's highly recommended to change them preventing a catastrophic engine failure. Also because the angle of the 2 banks the intake camshafts can running dry after the engine start up which can cause pitting and scoring on the edge of the lobes. Also the hydraulic lifters can stuck which can cause the same issue. Camshaft adjuster locking pin and it's hole can be worn in high mileage cars as well which can be difficult to diagnosed without removing the rocker cover. Yeah it's a very good advice to buy a well maintained car and should have another 5K in pocket for major repairs, but at least you can buy a car like this for 1/10th of the new price, so I think it still worth to have one.

[@CaptBlackCamaro]

Would you say these would be better investments than a v10 m5?

[@andrasracz7117]

The M5 is more popular I think, if you want to buy a car as an investment the m5 is a better choice. Regarding the reliability the Mercedes would be better, but the m5 is easier to sell. The looks of the c63 less conservative than the E-class, so for an investment consider the C class as well.

[@SuperEman500]

I heard that the E55 AMG, and most V8 Mercedes of this generation are the most reliable, any V8 from 2003- 2005 i heard someone say.

Naser Ramadani not an amg. Amg builds these cars, Mercedes builds the E500.

@@Davidg710 Pretty much every car can run for a long time if properly maintained, I don't really think it matters that much, of course some thing are meant to last longer than the other, and a Honda will be cheaper than running a Scharged AMG..

I have got manual transmission in my van, I hate it so much. When you stuck in traffic it isn't a big fun to dancing on the clutch. For me the automatic is essential, definitely in a premium car.
