2006 E55 AMG?
I was looking at purchasing a new car and I want something sporty and fun I was looking at some M3’s the. I found a W211 E55. I did my research as you do and I found it has some issues with the heat exchanger and auxiliary water pump pretty simple stuff it looks like and I can replace these parts easy I was a BMW technician for a part of my life; other than that they seem to be very reliable and a good road trip car besides the gas mileage, but will this be a good car for me to buy and keep the one I am look at buying has 80k miles full exhaust and a pulley
TL;DR
Buying a new car soon I want a 06 E55 that’s got mods with 80k miles should I buy

Get into the W211 AMG sub-forum. Lots of technically minded folks in it.

Yes, much higher priced parts, higher insurance and may have been beaten daily. May I suggest test driving an E500 or E550 series with the normally aspirated V-8 engine? You have to step up to the current E450 dual turbo V-6 nowadays just to match the power of the older V-8s
