The 350 is a great car, but you most definitely won't look back if you choose the 550.

2015 E550 Coupe
I originally test drove a E350 and was honestly under-whelmed by it. Don't get me wrong. It's a great car, but for me it just didn't have the feel I was looking for. Now on the other hand, the E550 coupe is just a flat out really fun car to drive. I've had my E550 coupe for a few months now and I just love it.

I drove both, and bought the E550. There is no comparison, the E550 is a really a blast to drive, fast, sporty, and I've had it for 2 years now, and enjoy it every time I get in it.

I have the 2010 E550. Think of all the 3.5 liter V6 engine cars you can buy. Think of how many 5.5 liter v8s you can buy in a coupe.
After you stick your toe into that v8, boom!

550 is not a better car than 350 , its all personal choice
more folks on this forum have v8 engine but in real life much more people keep v6 or
sale v8 and buy v6
just because they are more practical cars , not all in this life about power )

i don't think the 2011 e550 coupe had the biturbo engine yet... if you're able to get a newer model with the biturbo engine, now that's a winner!
