@@HeyboysGarage fasho! congratulations as well mane that car is beautiful🔥

[@havarbeknutsen2428]

the right stick on your steering column is for voice control, but it won't work now do to your radio swap, i have it on my w215 cl55 AMG

[@HeyboysGarage]

Oh wow that makes sense! I would have never know that! But I noticed when scrolling through the pages on the dash the controls work for skipping songs

[@MajorwayKennels]

My seats do the same thing on both sides… move when I first get in and when I turn them on they move for a little bit and stop. But for 20yrs old seats I’m glad they work period..

[@HeyboysGarage]

Okay so it’s not just mine. I’m curious to see how I can get it fully functional again

[@bobgodd]

The dynamic seats will shut down if there's a leak somewhere. At this age, it's almost guaranteed that at least one of the bladders in the seat has a leak. My suggestion is to either fix the bladders which requires pulling the leather seat cover off, or just pull the fuse in the trunk and abandon it. The feature is cool when it works, but it's a lot of work to get it working again. Or could be a new video series lol.

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@bobgodd that sounds like a lot of work! Yeah I feel the bladders sometimes filled and firm and sometimes flat just depends when. So there is a leak then. I will do some looking to see if this is something I would like to fix and how long they will last

[@bobgodd]

@@HeyboysGarage there's a fairly decent write up on mbworld, but I don't think many have documented it in video. Either way enjoy the car!

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@bobgodd thank you! Hope you have been enjoying the content

[@amgtrnd2245]

Really good video. Whenever I’m in Atlanta, I will hit you up.

[@HeyboysGarage]

Thanks! Yeah that would be cool, you have an E55 also?

[@joelortega200]

Great Video Congratulations 🎊 on the car you deserve it

[@HeyboysGarage]

Thank you!

[@SMAUT00]

Absolutely love the video! Cant wait to see what mods your going to do with it, I already got the new wheels for my C320 but I can already bet that you have something crazy planned with the car🤣

[@HeyboysGarage]

I do and I’m still planning! I think this one is going to be an absolute clean/ desirable build!

[@tonychavez2083]

Bought mine with 33 miles now have 135K , very minimal repair costs over the years. Had a lot of benzes, one of the few I will not sell.

[@simrandhanota8380]

That stalk controls the push to talk features for different commands like changing CDs, the radio, or the phone. Because you have an upgraded stereo that feature likely no longer exists for you to use. Check your center console for a phone module or at least a spot for one . Congrats on the 55 I just picked up an 04. Excited to see what you do with it!

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@simrandhanota8380 I see what you mean! Thanks for pointing that out now I know! I thought maybe it was for heating the steering wheel or something lol I would have never know untill I drove another E55 😂

[@simrandhanota8380]

⁠@@HeyboysGarage definitely confusing as the lettering tends to fade with age. Throw on some tints and if you haven’t already order the Bosch 010 intercooler pump for those IATs

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@simrandhanota8380 so the 2005’s still had the outdated intercooler pumps?

[@zipazzz]

The lever is voice control, had it on a clk55. but doesnt really do much. So, got the CLS55 last week with the following: full custom sound system, secondary cat and resonator delete, remap to 536 horse and peak torque at 2500rpm, limited slip dif and a custom map on the gearbox. As for miles per galon I am getting 23mpg on the motorway, 17 combined after hooning. The nob - aftermarket, would say probably for a subwoofer adjustment in an aftermarket radio (probably had it in the past)

[@HeyboysGarage]

Congrats on the CLS55! Thats are hard to find. That secondary cat and tune is probably helping with the better mpg! Also that exhaust combo I heard sounds really amazing

[@uzzle21]

I dont really think the E55 feels like a boat. I have a 2003 S-Class with the V12 that feels heavier the E size wise definitely isnt to bad

[@HeyboysGarage]

Maybe I guess driving the s class v12 to an E might not feel like it, but I think I have gotten use to how it feels. But going back and forth with my C class is really different tho!

[@uzzle21]

@@HeyboysGarage Oh yess for sure especially from the C bro, That c32 is light and powerful!

[@HeyboysGarage]

Yes! Dude I put a spring booster on it and it’s crazy! I made a video on it that I need to post to let owners know

[@uzzle21]

@@HeyboysGarage I been looking for c32 or c55 to own

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@uzzle21 I would go C32, but the Na motors are also nice!

[@phosamg]

Nice purchase brother🎉🎉. Curious can you share price and km you got it at. I am in the market for one and like to to compare. as well would like to get one to keep my C32 company 🤣🤣

[@phosamg]

What no reply ??? For. 160 000 mile car is it pretty clean within the engine ??

[@HeyboysGarage]

Thanks! For 160,000 it’s really clean. Car was taken care of. If you are in the market for one prices will range from 10k-14k for a clean m113k around 100k miles and up. Lower than that will be looking at more. Depends on your budget and where you live

[@zoku1808]

congrats its really a great car! but i wouldn't drive it in Comfort at all its bad for transmission and fuel consumption.

[@HeyboysGarage]

I’m very curious, why is that?

[@zoku1808]

you start moving with 2nd gear everytime you stop, not good for trans longrun especially for an old car

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@zoku1808 interesting, where did you get this info. I want to read more about it

[@zoku1808]

@@HeyboysGarage from experience i owned one and broke ones oil pump from doing it and also been friends with people who got same cars , i didn't know at a time

[@HeyboysGarage]

@@zoku1808 and at that time transmission was serviced/maintained and had the right amount of fluid when maintained? It’s not on how the car was driven either?
