I'm curious what would need to be changed and what the approx. cost would be to make an '03 E320 Spt. look like the E55? There's a nice low mile one here that I looked at yesterday, but it's just pretty plain looking. I know that it will need wheels/tires, but what about bumpers, ride height, ect. And before you get any ideas, NO I would not put an AMG badge on the back! Does the E320 have the air ride that can be lowered through the computer or do you have to do springs, etc.? Thanks!

 

Some of your answers could be found at the beginning of this thread.

You can get the AMG package, i believe, thats the sculpted side skirts, front and rear bumpers, wheels, and exhaust tips only. i think from the factory its like 5 or 6 grand. but why would you want to merely make your e320 look like a e55. personally for alot less you can get body kits and wheels for far less and make it look more better, more agressive/elegant and since its personally customized, it'll stand out from the other w211's.

 

youd need at least the following: AMG body kit, AMG 18" wheels & tires, amg exhaust tips. after all this, youd proabbaly spend less just buying a used E55.

 

That's what I was wondering. The difference in price between the 2 is around $15k or so for an '03, so it does not make sense to go the E320 route.

Problem is that I only have $35k tops to spend and I'm in love with the new E55 looks!

 

dont forget the sheer power that comes with the e55. looks come second in my book.
