E55 VS. E63 AMG W211 | Which one to buy? (4K)

[@DanielEhlmann]

E63 is the car to choose, if you want to listen to that amazing naturally aspirated V8 while limping it into the shop all the time.

[@paully1227]

Well then you’re driving it wrong mine was never in a shop in the two years I had it

[@FStan-co8vv]

@ki0ng Not that difficult but not very easy either. This video covers everything in detail: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHuyYqSEo82rrZY It involves draining the coolant, locking the cams, pulling the belt etc etc so I don't recommend changing them by yourself if you don't have any experience.

[@chiefdenis]

@BMW ///M Power you can remedy the heat soak issues with an intercooler, and it's way too easy to get stupid power off the m113k, though the m156 with the sorted head bolt problem is my favourite motor from this era

[@atos.nympha3451]

Which one is cheaper to maintain

[@IAmLeutrimTopalli]

Samson Ato Nympha probably the e55 amg, it has a much simpler engine

[@paschulzke]

Nice, real, and fair evaluation for both of the cars . I owned an E 55T and now an E 63T . What I would add: The E63 has a much firmer and saver suspension . May be not that important for the US, but here in Germany, where you legally can go 186 mph on the street ( both cars are able to) the E 63 will prevent you from sweat in the hands. The E 55 will need an experienced driver to handle it savely above 160 mph.

Nice comparison video. I would choose the E63 because I really like the facelift and the technical upgrades over the E55. I know that it suffers from the head bolt issue and I think the fuel injectors as well but the E63 suits me fine with 507 naturally aspirated horse power.

great video as always, man. i will always choose the e55 as it's much cheaper to modify as far as power mods go. the NA power is insignificant and combined with the engine problems like the head bolts I always hear about is a big minus. i think an e55 with e63 bumpers and lights would be my ultimate w211.

HYITHO he is talking about the engine series. the 55amgs have the M113K engine. the 63s are M156 engines.

[@ralphalexis745]

It's all about the heart, in this case the engine. M113K has long been proven to be bulletproof. As opposed to M156 with head bolt issues and cam wear issues. Not to mention the performance upgrades available for the 55k platform. Lastly I'm starting to notice that they're asking more money for a clean E55 than a clean E63 with about the same miles.

[@dashii111]

E63 takes the take for tourer imo. Engine is quieter and smoother than the 13k and while the instant torque of the 55 is nice the more linear power delivery of 63 makes for smoother drives around town. I always hit the gas a little to hard in my e55 and the sc engages causing lurches in traffic.

[@einmemekonig7626]

Amgmeister: says that the sbc braking system can go bad at high miles Me who had to replace it at 49k miles: *are you sure about that*

[@Gr0t0tter]

Decent video, but it doesn't tell the whole story - in ideal conditions, the E55 is quicker, but on a hot day with a bit of spirited driving, the E55's charge cooling system simply isn't up to the task of maintaining its performance potential. Furthermore, I disagree with the notion of the E55 being cheaper to mod. On an E63, there's a 40-45 whp gain to be had with the addition of long tube headers.... Boom - 560-ish hp for all of $2500. Guaranteed to be cheaper than trying to pick up a consistent 40whp gain on an E55... and please note the use of the word consistent, because being quicker than an E63 for only one run before your engine is heatsoaked and pulling boost, isn't much use. To reliably make over 450 whp on an E55, involves way more than a pulley swop and software - you need to split the cooling system and install a new pump, reservoir and heat exchanger, otherwise it just heatsoaks badly enough to lose to even a stock E63 --- and a proper M113k kit with headers, pulley, software and a decent split cooling system, will run you about $5k.

[@marmaladebrah]

Interesting points

[@johnlowe2218]

This is definitely legitimate. It’s strange to me that AMG would spend so much money building a hand-built supercharged engine but neglect to design a proper intercooler system that can support its power. Modifications to this are required for any serious performance applications.

[@JustinsSupercars]

I agree. However the only big plus point for the e63 is the awesome sound. The E55 doesn't sound nearly as aggressive as a 6.2 liter.

[@j_hicks01]

I would personally buy an E55 compared to an E63, that's just my opinion. What I would do to increase stock power and torque, and for not that much all honestly, would be to buy an ECU Flash from RENNtech to increase the power/torque slightly. Then, I'd buy a smaller supercharger pulley for slightly more power/torque. Then finally, I would to take off the clutch from the supercharger and replace it with a roughly same sized pulley in diameter. While that won't really increase power nor torque, it would keep the boost and the clutch wouldn't have to reengage to get the boost back. And all this cost, is roughly around $1,600 max I'd say, maybe less, who knows. But yeah, easily 600hp out of that car for just a few little tweaks. Who could say no?

[@Fila0220]

Great break down bro. I had the E63 for 4 years, awesome car, but the head bolt issue and the fear of it actually happening started to eat away at my confidence in the car towards the last years of ownership. The headbolt issue really blew up on the forums early this year. The E63 also tends to have an issue with its transmission (conductor plate). When I finish building my current car, I'm probably going to want to hop into an E55

[@ne2i]

Conductor plate is a 5 speed Auto issue with all MB vehicles. Its not really that bad and can be fixed wothout removing the transmission.

[@TOShorts]

Just replace the head bolts preventatively to the newer ones. Problem solved

[@SamtheCanuck]

I want an E55 now. Like the perfect car for my needs/wants. Now to find one that is in good shape.

[@Carlos-ib6gl]

I love both cars. I want a wagon of either one eventually. I can't decide which one to get next tho. I currently have an 05 E500 and coming from an E320, it's fast. It still keeps up with a lot of modern cars. But I want more power, the E55 is more modifable and reliable but I really prefer the looks and interior Of the facelift E63. I know that most of these things can be swapped for the facelifted versions but that's a lot of time, money, patience, and even possible programing. They both give similar numbers on paper but the E55 has more potential. But I hate the transmission, it's just too slow, even mine (7G tronic) is slow to shift and I hate it; ik the E55 has the 5G tronic but it still shifts relatively slow. So many pros and cons

[@Carlos-ib6gl]

I also currently have no intention of surpassing 500hp. I've driven all sorts of Benz's and BMW's (part of the job) and after all that I've discovered that 500 is the point where the power is still manageable, scary for passengers and still fun enough where you won't kill yourself. 550 is the absolute limit. Anymore than that is just too much.

[@illstplaya]

Sergey Rozhdestvenskiy the head bolt issue only affects the 2007 models and I believe some very early 2008 models as well. Also by now the issue is mostly fixed and I'm sure the owners out there has the maintenance records that will show whether or not the issue has been fixed

[@sergeyrozhdestvenskiy3307]

illstplaya According to the document I found online head bolts issue affected all 6.2 engines up to the end of 2010. Read about engine numbers which were affected. Plus if you check forums and classifieds you will find that almost no E63/C63 sellers fixed it and most claim that they don't have issues with head bolts. But who can guarantee you will be fine if you buy a car from them? Nobody unless you pay $3.5-4.5K to fix it.
