Hey guys, whose C36/C43 has seen the most road?

My 1996 C36 has 243,000 kms (152,000 miles).

I'm sure there are some big numbers out there. I'd love to hit 500,000 kms one day.

I have a 1999 c43 white with 202k miles I’m sure there’s lot of high mile c43s still on the road

My 99' C43 is reaching 310'000km and still pulls like a freight train Have not driven her this spring season apart for a quick blast to blow the winter cobwebs out

I waited until 200K on the original 43 to do the 55 swap. The 43 ran great - but was leaking oil from any seal it could. I ended up selling the heads - so decided to strip the block down the rest of the way. There was virtually no wear on any of the bearings, surfaces, bores, rings, etc. Chain stretch was still in spec - but getting close to needing a replacement. Properly maintained these engines will go a long long long time. My 200K probably wasn't 1/2 way used up assuming the timing chain job would have been done soon.

My 99 c43 has 141k on it.Looks and runs like 41k.....These M112 engines are bullet proof if maintained properly. The slant 6 c36 motor is as well a gem!..Going to get my hands on a c36 ive been looking.

261k km (161k miles) on my C43!

Just about to tick over 219,000 miles.

I’m the 2nd owner.

I had 190,000 on my 2000 E55, our shop
car a 2002 clk55 had 190,000 also. Car made 300whp with factory plugs, with like .070 gap maybe more.

E55 also made 340whp on e85 and ran great

I’ve worked on a 2000 E55 with 280,000 miles that was never cared for properly.

Now 316485km!!!

99 c43 bought with 169xxx miles currently has 213xxx miles with a supercharger will get a picture tomorrow of gauge

im up to 204,000 miles and im about to rebuild the steering box, transmission and differential this summer. Im gonna try and build the heads too for better airflow but i doubt ill get around to it. Lol my poor 43 has been beat hard but im not giving up on it.

been a while since I've posted here, but...

312k miles, 1999 C43

Had an E55 motor swapped in at 297k miles, but not because the original 4.3 motor was dead. It just needed a timing chain and it was only about $1k more to just swap in a 1999 E55 motor with only 130k miles on it.

In less than a year of ownership, managed to go from 218k --> 229k! Driving and working on this car has been a lot of fun.

Nice glad to see c43 owners putting in the work keeping there AMGs running , you still got those nice rims on it
I’m trying some 19s from a c63 hoping it will still ride smooth specially with these NY roads

WHOA. That's got to be the record!

As far as I know, 2 out of the 3 highest miles AMG's are w202's. I'm so glad that a C36 is the winner so far! I loved the m104.

Beautiful c36!!

I have a 99 C43 with 310k+ miles. I'll post a picture of the instrument cluster. I also have a 2002 ML55 (same engine block) with 443k miles and both run a strong as they ever did.

a man after my own heart!

I'm about to hit 320k in my C43 but I would love an ML55 for doing some off road stuff.

Updated yesterday.


1996 C36 501K miles

WOW, now that's going to be difficult to beat IMO, specially in miles
