5 year Ceramic Coating applied in 2022. Tinted pillar-less windows. No deep scratches, only one small ding on passenger door.
Coupe is in pristine condition with excellent interior. Everything works and leather is supple and absolutely no tears. It also can play DVDs while in drive (Video-In-Motion enabled). It helps when taking kids for a longer driver and everyone can see the screen. Vehicle is complimented every day I take it out and no MB in less 15 years match the beauty of this factory paint color in my opinion.
The styling is upgraded with AMG side pockets, welcome lights, steering wheel trim, engine start button, and exterior side emblems. Matches perfectly with the AMG OEM wheels. MB OEM rubber all weather floor mats as well as original carpet floor mats are both included.
Vehicle has Premium Leather Upgrade, Appearance Package, Premium Packages 1+2, & Lane Tracking Package with motorized rear sunshade, heated/cooled seats, sport mode (increase throttle response and tightens suspension), front/rear parking sensors, electronic stability, multi-contour seats, Bi-Xenon Headlights, Keyless Go, and much more.
This car runs like a dream in perfect mechanical condition. It has been well taken care of. Fresh oil change, new engine air filters, and cabin filter. Transmission fluid change not needed for another 25K+ miles. The power it has and light weight frame makes it incredibly fun to drive.
$15K in parts and upgrades spent across the past 3 years. I regret none of it and spared no expense to have it be the olive green twin turbo V-8 dream machine that it is!
If any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. I love this car but also have to get a AWD SUV for the growing family.

Bi-Turbo E550 Coupe (W207)
Thank you for the well wishes.
I doubt an e63 sedan would sell for this price that has had all maintenance done as well as new suspension, brakes, tires, turbo coolant lines, and all other mechanical updates done. If it does it would go for not less than $32K.
Also I don’t think an E63 can come in this color combo which really works with the coupe, and not as much in the sedan body style.
Lastly Coupe RWD is a way more fun driving experience imho compared to AWD Sedan.

There are certainly E550 Coupes for cheaper however I doubt that the replacement of parts was done like it has been done for this vehicle in the past 1-2 years.
Just the turbo coolant lines parts+labor is at least $3K, the front/rear electronic shocks parts+labor is at least $3K, control arms/sway bar links parts+labor is $1K, brake pads/rotors/sensors parts+labor is $1K, and tires installed are $1K, so that's already $9K in additional expenses the buyer of this vehicle doesnt have to fuss with. A thorough and well done ceramic coating is at least $500 as well. For the right buyer, who understands that a well maintained and thoroughly checked vehicle is worthwhile compared to a lower mileage that has not been maintained will appreciate the work gone in to keep the E550 for sale in prestine condition. This vehicle will likely go well over 200K miles as long as general maintenance is kept up with and for e coupes there isnt a lot. It would be nice to hand over the keys to someone who is an enthusiast and wants to drive an exquisite machine.

Bi-Turbo E550 Coupe (W207)
E550 coupe has some advantages over C63 AMG coupe because for me the 2012-2013 E550 with quad headlight is best looking front face with the most power offered. E550 Coupe comes with many luxury features that C63 AMG coupe doesn’t have and I preferred that and also that the Twin-Turbo V-8 engine the E550 coupe comes with is excellent and delivers performance and more fuel efficient then the V-8 in a C63 (0.8L less displacement) or E550 sedan (due to vehicle weghing less). E550 coupe is just shy of AMG performance for less and its engine, known as the M278 used in CL550 or S550 of the same era, is incredibly powerful usually having more HP/Torque then what was advertised in the brochure.
Also the Olive Green color exterior was only 4 years for the E-class, never used on any other Mercedes and only 2 of those years are with the Twin Turbo V-8 (pre-2012 is naturally aspirated with less HP and Torque). The E550 coupe is already significantly more rare than C63 AMG coupes of the same era, then with this paint color, it makes this E550 Coupe even more rare.

Bi-Turbo E550 Coupe (W207)
If not interested fully understood. For someone who cares how well a car was treated, I'm selling something that I am handing over as problem-free as I can to the next driver. I have said I'm open to best offers but certainly wont be interested in anyone low balling like it is a damaged or poorly maintained vehicle.
Most are selling within a few K of what I've posted this one for and the price on this one is one of the cheapest in the forum for a twin-turbo V-8 vehicle. This is the most powerful engine one could get for an e-class coupe of this era.

October bump. Price $19.5K obo. Mileage is now just shy of 120K, been driving it regularly and enjoying it. Just replaced the radiator as well with OE parts. Like I said before, I've been taking very good care of this vehicle through and through.
