Is this in Illinois, I seen this car listed in Chicago!?

[@ciAMkia]

Damian, I will have to check that out. Thanks for your videos. You know I love these cars.

[@josephandreuccetti7270]

Can you manual swap these?

[@Rafymon98]

You know that only 485 CL55’s were built in 2005. I have one of the 485 examples built in 2005. Take care of it, we are the custodians of these CL55s. Congrats! You have a very special car.

[@damiankikolski]

Wow, I wasn’t aware! Thanks for sharing! It’s a timeless classic

[@yslantthai]

i have a mint 05 CL55 AMG in designo mocha brown with under 100k miles just picked it up last month and loving it

[@ciAMkia]

I love my 2003 CL 55 AMG. This car is a total beast and murders every American muscle car around. I love it when kids pull up in their Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, or Chargers, and all they see of my car are my 4 AMG chrome exhaust tips. Its too funny. I just love this car. Nice video!

[@damiankikolski]

Timeless classic of a car! I beat so many Mustangs, Camaros, even a SRT Jeep pretty much anything it took. Enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

[@cbottersotter]

Just bought one at barret Jackson for 14.5k with 85k miles

[@undergroundriptiles7005]

It’s way too heavy and I’ve beat them with all my cars

[@ciAMkia]

@undergroundriptiles7005 Well, I guess you don't live here, now do you? And, how do you know the weight of my car? Or anyone else's, for that matter? Psychic? Assume on a regular basis? Enjoy your toys, but the adults are speaking now. AMF ...

[@Lorenzo-wl5xt]

Beautiful coupe. Better looking than any 2023 car. It's all about the pillarless windows

[@damiankikolski]

Yes, stunning coupe

[@garagenextdoor807]

My W220 is at 425,000km as of today while my G500 is at 250,000km, these engines are legit bulletproof, long lasting

[@targetegrat]

The design is timeless. If someone told me that CL came out around 2015 I would believe them. Most vehicles around 2005 still had a little bit of that 90s vibe especially in the headlights.

[@JohnGabbana-ks8mk]

Hell Noe

[@Mo-ij8re]

I have had my 05 s55 amg for a little over a month now and man I love the m113k. mine also has the 4 seating package so it’s a true 4 seater with the captain chairs in the rear that are also fully electric, heated, cooled, and massage. mines also got the full leather package since it’s the designo which makes it super rare for an s55 as most of them don’t have these options. basically mines spec’d like a s65 amg and it’s great it’ll help with keep its value up!

[@damiankikolski]

I also had the S55, lovely car! Can't beat the M113K, reliable, powerful, bulletproof, and easily upgradable. What more can you want out of a motor

[@Mo-ij8re]

@@damiankikolski yeah bro just not keeping it too long because of abc lol fuck that

[@ericgiddio1259]

Love it bro. I've got a CL500 which I love too bits.

Timeless! Sick car! Definitely spoiled once you’ve owned one!

[@damiankikolski]

Thanks brother! It makes almost every car in comparison feel cheaply built haha

[@brucewallner6753]

You’re absolutely right about getting ripped off every single time

[@joshuaoconnor411]

I believe the "05" C55 was car of the year.💸

[@damiankikolski]

No doubts they’re great cars! I believe the CL65 was the fastest production vehicle in the world for a while as well!

[@750coda]

I bought one here in the UK for £1500.. ABC was completely shot front to rear including the pump!.. I ripped the system out and went with coilovers.. Its now my 'Daily'...Happy as a pig in s&@t 😁

[@damiankikolski]

It’s so much fun to drive!

[@damiankikolski]

Enjoy it!!

[@TheJoSef1n]

What is the exact rims model and specification? I am strugling to find a flush fit rim size and this set up on the video looks good. Only question is what offset and width they have and do they rub?

[@Cydro12]

do the non compressed cl55's also run ABC, or just regular air suspension?

[@19Amir90]

I noticed you had a Wisconsin WH plate on that S-Class. I'm a WI dealer, also with a CL55 that I'm getting ready to modify. I love that rear diffuser on the CL. Where'd you or your buddy find that one?

[@damiankikolski]

It came on the car, I’m pretty sure it’s a stock diffuser

[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

If you installed coilovers, why not add the W221 sway bars? To not make it handle bad. ABC system uses no swaybars

[@denisschneider6395]

Not only all AMGs, but all Cls come with ABC, as well as SLs, only for lower spec s class it was an option. And converting to a different system is pretty hard, at least legally in Germany...

[@damiankikolski]

Yes you're right my old CL500 has ABC, except E55's and CLS55's those AMG's have aimatic.

[@spikestang6345]

Nice cars, mine is cyber Grey in color.

[@damiankikolski]

Definitely a classic timeless machine!

[@cmack5713]

Hey I got 2004 clk 320 how can I trade for 2005 550 amg!!!!

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

I want one so bad. I have a thing for coupes in white that have that lenghty type of look. Kinda wanted an SL55 or SL65 but I realized that theyre too short in the back and front for my taste

[@futurewealthmovement]

[@damiankikolski]

Checkout the one I made on your car 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5DLppiKlJh5Y8U&ab_channel=DamianKikolski

[@joeynegron297]

I got 2003 s55 AMG for about 6 years I converted to coils because abc system was to expensive and hard to work with but no choice, love the car and do my own repairs, like the CL55 but if I buy another Mercedes gonna be CLS 55 love the w219 body style

[@damiankikolski]

I’m a huge fan of the CLS, also a very sharp car and less issues with those. Plus Airmatic is awesome, pain free to deal with. I had a S55 with ABC, it rode like a dream

[@klowenstein483]

Same here. I'll try a CLS55 if the opportunity arises. Only thing that I would dread doing is the oil pump o-ring.

[@damiankikolski]

@@klowenstein483 Those have a different oil pan right?

[@klowenstein483]

@@damiankikolski Yes, the E/CLS/SL have a two chambered oil pan due to the different design of the steering rack or subframe (one of em). Also has two oil pan drain bolts. The S/CL have a one piece oil pan and don't have a weak oil pump O-ring (look it up). Also the S/CL don't suffer from IC pump failure like the E/CLS/SL cars do. The 220/215 have more radiators so they don't require an upgraded IC pump. They're already upgraded from Affalterbach.

[@damiankikolski]

@@klowenstein483 I took out a M113K from a S55 and you’re right about the extra coolers! But last S55 AMG I had was still heat soaking bad from the pump after one-two hard pulls. The upgraded pump and split cooling really make a huge difference.

[@damiankikolski]

When I’m done putting the motor back in my new CL55 I’ll be sure to take your advice 😉

[@mikechan2044]

I'm thinking about getting one as well But the ones I've been seeing is either high mileage 120,000+ for (15,000) Or 80,000 +/- miles for ($19,000+) Then there is the beater 160,000 miles for $12,000 Damn :( there is not a good priced ones that aren't neglected

[@damiankikolski]

I honestly wouldn’t worry about the mileage too much, maintenance is more important. I had a CL55 with 115k and everything was neglected, I had a S55 AMG with 175k and there was absolutely no issues whatsoever. You have to buy it from someone that just took good care of it!

[@mikechan2044]

@@damiankikolski 😭😭😭 It's an expensive car to maintain. Oof My heart wants one but my mind is telling me no Not with the current prices. Going to shop around and see if I can snag a deal up

Amazing car

[@TJG239]

i bought a nice one, a facelifted 500 with the factory AMG F1 pack. had it 11 years this month, and there's nothing other than maybe a W216 I'd swap it for without having to spend over 100k (maybe a used Ferrari 612 or Porsche Panamera). New cars dont appeal to me any more

[@damiankikolski]

I missed this one so much I bought another one! Never selling it when I’m done, checkout my new video, aiming for 700hp with this new one! They cut down on materials on a lot of new cars, I have a W222 and lots of stuff that used to be metal is plastic now. Awesome machines to the ones who appreciate them!

[@uzzle21]

not true i can open and close trunk in 03 s600 which has hydraulic trunk some of them changed to air trunk after 03 . i love the cl and your video but just one thing to note

S600 has ABC, every hydraulic suspension W220 has the open close

[@bassstudent4life]

Are you a dealer? That's the only way i can think that you would get it so cheap if you didn't have a lot of bids on it.

[@Edwinbraun20]

Yeah man. This thing looks very mean and very expensive. I have 2002 cl500 with AMG package. I absolutely adore this car. And I have like all the possible problems you could have. ABC leaks and compressor is bad… rain leaked into the trunk and flooded BOSE cd box and the amplifier. I turn the key and all I get are… errors. Oh and now I can’t get it to the gear any longer. But when I get some money… I’m gonna make this thing up like a brand new.

[@wickedamg9796]

Not all AMG in that era come with ABC suspension.

Jay-Z said, “If you can’t buy it twice you can’t afford it.” It’s an amazing car that you’ll love, but I wouldn’t buy one if you atleast don’t have the same amount you paid for it aside for repairs, maintenance, emergency.
