I had a 2005 E55 AMG. It was the best car I ever owned.

[@damiankikolski]

Hard to dislike this car in any way!

[@ismetba2772]

Man I Love the E55. Great car and the greatest engine I guess Mercedes ever built. Keep it running. It’s already a true classic.

[@damiankikolski]

The M113K engine is some of Mercedes best work!

[@johnspence2630]

Bro I love your energy with this review, I'm subscribing. Had a non amg, but always wanted to own an amg version of this w211 mb e class . You've talked me into it, thanks

[@damiankikolski]

This type of comment makes me want to make more videos, I appreciate it! A really great car puts you in a awesome mood, it’s the feeling it gives you you’re paying for!

I bought a 2 owner, low mileage one 3 years ago and did all of the 100k mile maintenance and have done an upgrade whenever something breaks. I added a VRP 77mm pulley with an unrestricted tune when the blower pulley bearing failed and did a split cooler and secondary intercooler when the s/c pump started getting noisy. I did BC adjustable coilovers when one of the front struts failed last year. It has developed a small exhaust leak which is probably a cracked manifold so she is getting a set of catted long tube headers in the spring and I recently discovered MK Ultra which makes tuned TCUs that make it shift much better than the slow, soft, factory shifts from the 722.6 that has made a night and day difference in the response and shift crispness. Not a cheap car to own my any means but if you do your own work and shop around for the best prices they are worth it to have nearly 500hp sleeper that nobody sees coming. 😉

[@lr882027]

Best 7 things you can do with this car are 1: fit a larger inter cooler for the supercharger, 2: Split the cooling system, 3: Upgrade the intercooler pump, 4: Fit a 77mm clutched pulley, 5: Fit 550cc injectors, 6: Get a tune (Eurocharged, VRP, German Muscle etc etc), 7: 1 step colder plugs. That will give you the best price to performance ratio - assuming you do the work yourself you'd be into it for about $2,000 to $2,500. I went a little further with short headers and a 92mm throttle body but really the cost of those and having them fitted was not worth the gain. Oh and get the supercharger serviced as well. Great fucking car.

[@damiankikolski]

100% agree with everything above! Stay tuned, I just picked up a 2003 CL55 AMG and in the process of rebuilding the motor! Gonna be a cool transformation and engine rebuild video series, I plan to do stage 4 so around 700 hp crank out of it, first video dropping soon!

[@clone9878]

Agreed

[@alonzokhalid8758]

Facts 💯💯💯

[@alonzokhalid8758]

It’s 20 years later tho how long you think this thing gonna last I might get one soon

[@bigmac7950]

This car a beast, i drove it in 2005 and was shocked at the power of a factory car.

[@damiankikolski]

I’m sure back then it was the one of the fastest production cars out on the street, they are awesome machines still to this day!

[@wasted151]

In 2014 i purchased a 2004 platinum blue e55 with 82k miles for $12,500 and i daily drove it for 3 years, sold it at 96k miles, bullet proof motor and transmission, only issue i had was the front air matic shocks, which i replaced with arnott shocks. Such a great car, I’m looking to purchase another one and get bc coilovers to eliminate the air matic issue and for better handling.

[@damiankikolski]

There’s some with 500k miles on original engine and transmission! Personally I’d just replace new air shocks and keep the air suspension. Air vs spring, air has more comfort on bumps in my opinion and floats more, and you get electronic dampening with the button vs manual.

[@johnmorris1764]

Great review Damian, I recently purchased a 2004 model which is an absolute minter. Here in Australia we have to pay way more than 10 grand.

[@ashlaraque4135]

W211 E class was the best car I ever owned. About to pay off my Audi A4 then I’m gonna buy an E 55 cash and mod it up how I want

[@damiankikolski]

It definitely gives you a feeling few cars can!

[@thakidrmh314]

Renntech for the gap sauce 😎

[@damiankikolski]

[@squidzo1d]

love this car, seems so fun to drive but they going up in price

[@GGAky]

You can buy them for $20k here in NZ which is roughly around $10k USD

[@edwardsage524]

True facts!

[@damiankikolski]

Facts only!

[@TireSlayer55]

What is the exhaust setup on this car? It sounds perfect!

[@مكتبةالافلام-ك4ك]

pro can we need the price of e63 amg Thank you

[@damiankikolski]

Look on eBay, or Facebook marketplace, join some E55 Facebook groups, Craigslist, etc

[@tylercouture216]

your the first person i saw start a Mercedes Benz correctly turn the key and release the key dont twist and hold 🙄 i hate when people do that

[@damiankikolski]

Haha, appreciate it! I’ve had a decent amount of benzes by now so you learn all the cool little tricks. Gotta love the small details that make these cars different and special

[@tylercouture216]

@Damian Kikolski couldn't agree more with you on that you mentioned the e60 m5 I have one and not many people know how to properly put them in park and usually leave it in neutral with the brake up that is incorrect. But yes the cool little details set it off

[@damiankikolski]

@@tylercouture216 Love the sound of those V10 engines! Drove my friend's E60 M5 and the engine is a piece of art, nice interiors too. Here's a clip I found of it: kzbin.infoMiZfHchh1lA

[@tylercouture216]

@Damian Kikolski those shifts my goodness 😫 never ever gets old

[@stephencampo4202]

where can i get one beautiful car

[@damiankikolski]

Check Facebook marketplace, eBay, cars.com, Craigslist!

[@lyndacompton1846]

Good information I have one thank you

[@mire4485]

I've got an '06 E55 with 75k on the clock. I don't think I'll ever sell her!

[@damiankikolski]

It’s hard to buy another car that does the same things for the money!

[@YungSimmie305]

I got cls55 95k

[@freddygalvan669]

How dis you not get the code for the air ride

[@damiankikolski]

Disconnected the Airmatic module under the hood, and pulled the fuse for it. That gives you the grey warning which can be cleared with the button.

[@freddygalvan669]

@@damiankikolski thanks for your help man was annoyed couldn't figure it out since I changed it to regular coils

[@freddygalvan669]

@@damiankikolski hey bro can you tell me the location on the module thanks

[@damiankikolski]

@@freddygalvan669 Under driver side fuse box under hood if I remember correctly

[@swandonovan]

It can be done correctly with xentry / das

[@sauliusagintas]

How different is driving e55k on coil overs? Do you prefer coil overs vs airmatic? Thanks

[@damiankikolski]

I experienced both, and honestly personally I would leave Airmatic on any Mercedes that has it. Just because you retain the dampening adjustments with the button, and it’s a little more comfortable and smoother of a ride. The coils are definitely a little stiffer, but they offer more adjustability for fitment. Coils aren’t bad at all, ride is still pretty nice, but I would leave Airmatic on personally.

[@mbanfalvi]

Something is wrong with the stance I belive... but nice car

[@damiankikolski]

The coilovers need to be readjusted, you’re right about that!

[@e34m51]

Best kept secret is CL 55 AMG True Story ...

[@damiankikolski]

The CL55 to this day is still my favorite car I owned, gonna make a video on my old CL55 this week!

[@UNLVbasketball]

When you say best way to spend $10k you mean after you buy the car right,? You realize they’re all selling for $20k

[@mmttpp4477]

I Paid 10k 900 2005

[@anthonymichellekitchens6148]

They have gone up in value. A few years ago you could find them for 10k all over the place. Now ones with 200k miles are going for 15k

[@Superchargedtio]

Prices are definitely up

[@Superchargedtio]

If you can get one for 10 k get it … few more years it will be 30k and up on average

[@damiankikolski]

There's still plenty of them around me selling for $10k, seen a few even cheaper at the auctions. I agree with you, for a really spotless low mile example they go for more, but you can definitely get them for 10k all day.
