Is the Mercedes-Benz CLS 55 AMG the Ultimate Classic Benz?

[@NDPhotonl]

I bought a CLS55 almost 2 years ago and this review made me laugh. The faces you make are exactly how I feel when drive this wonderful car. I keep saying this over and over: this 19 year old car is still relevant to this day. And the build quality is way higher than a lot of modern cars.

[@robs9833]

Bought mine 3 years ago. Proper mafia car. I can't let go of her.

[@floriantotaj992]

Is it a reliable car ?

[@NDPhotonl]

@@floriantotaj992 Mine had neglect, so I fixed that. It has a couple of known weak points (plastic pulleys exploding, valve covers leaking, weak engine mounts etc), but the engine is bulletproof overall. Stay on top of the maintenance (pretty expensive, with 8.5 liters of oil, 16x spark plugs, 8 coil packs, 6 liter gearbox oil, +-120ml supercharger oil) and it should keep blasting for a long, long time. I would highly recommend it if you can work on these cars yourself (my DIY videos should help in that regard), as the reward for driving this is very high (expressed in smiles per gallon off course 🥳). Also the interior + build quality is unmatched compared to contemporary cars (hard plastics vs full leather).

[@garneht]

​@@NDPhotonlHello there, I wanted to know about your experience owning a CLS55 AMG. I would be grateful if you could share some advice on owning one. Could you please provide me with the pros and cons of owning such a vehicle? Additionally, I would appreciate your insights on whether it would be a wise decision to own one based on a certain salary range. Thank you for your time and consideration.

this is the 1st gen though..

Those hips on the 2nd gen is the most beautiful thing mercedes has done to any of their cars.

[@MrZillas]

@djura19 - 2nd generation is also my favorite. Unfortunally I am too big for that car, the roof comes down a lot.

[@tigerzero9939]

This car is sick. A moving piece of art with a brutal sounding engine. I wish I had the money to do a restomod. Modernize the interior/dash, improve the transmission, etc. Now the AMGs are getting lame with 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders.

[@hv7244]

[@CarpathianCooking]

Why would you change the interior? It wouldn’t be the same clasic look that is meant for

[@tigerzero9939]

@@CarpathianCooking you can change it and still keep a classic aesthetic. those lcd displays and plastic pieces are ugly

[@giovannibinaghi9729]

What a brilliant car, i was 7 when it came out and it looked like nothing else on the road. I’m 25 now and considering to buy it, just afraid of the running costs. Keep going my man you’re doing great, cheers from Milan

[@Wha_SAAB]

I’m 20 and I own a CLS55 AMG among others. If you buy a excellent example and keep up with maintenance, you’ll be surprised how reliable it can be!

[@drivingwithwoo]

I own e55 amg and yes the running costs are gonna be more than owning a Honda but you will be surprised how cheap it actcually is if you are willing to get your hands dirty. Much cheaper to maintain than the new ones

[@howdoideploymyparachute4556]

The best car reviewer ever.. hands down. Such honesty and love for truly good cars is unmatched.

[@JohnBest84]

The C219 is an design icon and definitely a future classic. Guys buy some in good shape (V8’s), in 10-15 years the prices will be 5x higher. I bought mine already. Althoug i had many S-Classes, CL-s, which are all pure perfection, but designwise: no serial Mercedes is more beautiful and still looks so modern.

[@christopherjohnson3335]

Just purchased one two months ago. I swear this thing is pure awesomeness. I get so many compliments. People just can't believe what year the car is, they think it's much newer.

[@JohnBest84]

[@ElliasFrederic]

@@christopherjohnson3335yo im looking to buy one pls tell me what to watch out for when buying

[@hv7244]

Actually this is not right due to the supercharger being very hot when heat soaked , this is also bad for the blinker fluid that goes into the engine bombaclarstaryrt😂😂 😁👍

[@RomainBads]

i bought mine too, since 1 year. a “simple” C219 CLS 500 V8 306hp. Black, beige leathers, deleted the mufflers AND resonator sound like a 6.2L.. Awesome. But yes, 7g-tronic is very slow, because is heavy and chewing gum airmatic susp. Not sporty, but what a cool thing she is! Driving everyday is exceptional.

[@goodtoknow4555]

Aziz im from Albania and you must know we love mercedes I would love to drive a car like this and specially big up to the love you show when you review

[@totalrecall4131]

Brother, what a brilliant video. Just came across your channel having fulfilled my itch for a CLS55 here in the UK. I've literally just hopped into it from a brand new 330e BMW and could not be any happier. The V8 rumble and supercharger whine, just sublime. 🙏

[@ezpz4659]

It is. I have one with a 80mm pulley, and cooling mods, tuning and its about 600hp at the engine. It's crazy with long tube headers and straight pipe. Loudest, most aggressive sounding car on Earth. With the supercharger sound its just amazing.

[@Security2U]

Is that all to get it to 600 I thought maybe more would be involved

[@bigboycars]

The S on the transmission button is a «Standard» mode. C is a «Comfort». M «Manual».😊

[@dominicskraska7402]

My favorite video so far. Oh boy what a car. 4 exhausts pipes, that sound, over 300 on the speedometer cmonnn man who tf hates it. This price of it is tempting for 700 NM you cannot get any better.

[@tomketomke]

Have the love and pleasure of owning one and it is aspolutely a stunning car, as a car guy I was in persue of an e60 m5 but since could not afford one ended up with a 55 amg… and boy that was a surprise, car easely keeps up with modern sport saloons, just love it ❤

as a mb tech for 30 years i can attest to what he says about quality. I prefer this over the new crap.

[@Mstfakya]

The CLS 55 is my favourite Classic Benz that I would like to have, if I am done with school and have my driving license, I would buy it directly when I have the Money because the new cars will never be so cool like that car it is a must have!

[@NudaMan]

And you’ll be able to easily, these cars have went down drastically in the past few years price wise, you could find a nice low mileage example for under 20 grand, I believe they made over 5,000 of these CLS 55’s btw

Omg I didn’t know you made this video 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

My favorite car

[@lord_jagged]

I have owned mine for 3 years now. The first major service was expensive as I had a lot of consumables replaced including, Lower control arms all 4 disks and pads, the service battery, all the super charger belts, and a s/c belt roller. It reaches it's max speed of 250kph in 4th gear at 5500rpm (max is 6600).***I want to increase my acceleration rate by installing a lower ratio LSD and then getting a safe dyno tune of the transmission control module. Anyone know of a good ratio to choose and a strong LSD***. Note Do not up the boost. The place i purchased mine from has seen 2 M113k engines loose cylinder 8 due to this. When Mercedes upped the boost in the CLK DTM AMG they installed a strengthened block.

Had the 350 since 2008, only reason im keeping it coz it cost almost nothing these days 😅
