We owe you a debt of gratitude for keeping this classic alive! After the major parts were stripped from it, the frame would have ended up in a crusher wiping another W210 E55 AMG off the face of the earth. I suspect you picked this up for a bargain price. Kinda funny you have a very low cost, 13 year old vehicle with a salvage title which, no doubt, looks, runs and rides like a newer $100,000+ Mercedes Benz. Sweet!
Thanks,

'02 E55, '03 Z4 6MT and other lesser vehicles
I've had mine for four plus years. Just turned 152k miles. Still gets 19 around town and just did 24.3 mpg on a 300 mile trip. It runs like it's on rails, stops on a dime and leaves change.

Bone stock. Silver/Condor Black interior. Extensive PM program. Only OEM parts used. It's been my DD. Just installed the correct E55 windshield a couple of months ago.

I've actually decided to sell it. Got a company car now and four others. Figured this would sell easier than the others. PM me if interested.

Have a safe and happy New Years!

Hello everyone.

I just picked up a 2001 E55 with 37k miles. Loving it so far.

Only issue to speak of is the amount of travel in the brake pedal. Going to do a pressure bleed soon.

1999 E55 AMG
Add me to the list... new owner. Stumbled upon this gem last week while hunting for new cars. I am in love with this car.

Booked in for some maintenance work (trans. fluid, oil change, valve cover gasket). Also needs the rear subframe mounts replaced at some point. But what a beast.

It really shouldn't have taken me so long to respond to this post... I need to spend more time here. The time I spend here is for the same reason. I love my E55 and love this forum... Thank you for the welcome!

2008 Escalade, 2004 E55 AMG
2004 W211 E55 AMG

Here is my, new to me, 2004 E55 AMG. I have to say that I am very very very happy with my purchase and have begun the modification process. SLowly but surely.

I have LED bulbs in the cargo area, tag lights and city lights. Next is HID fogs, the rear spoiler, roof spoiler and front spoiler. Looking to purchase a set of 19" ADV.1 08 DEEP concave wheels. WHOO HOO!!

A few gripes, the SC pully slippage and COMAND audio gateway is going bad and the pulse seats are a waste.

Nice to meet all you guys!

I bought my '01 E55 4 years ago with 58K miles for under 13K. Today she just passed the 70K miles. So far it has been excellent, with only regular maintenance performed. It is totally stock and sits next to my wife's pristine, like-new, '99 C43.
Recently I got new brake pads and had the trans mounts changed because they were worn. The on-board display tells me that it averages 19.5 mpg over the last 2500 miles, which surprises me because I am rather not light footed...
Lovely machine at any price, but curiously, my wife prefers driver her C43 that is a heck of a lot less comfortable. Go figure... I had bought the E55 for her, so that I could hot rod the C car. Never mind.
I plan to keep both for a long time, I see no reason to get another car. None whatsoever.

1999 E55 AMG
I bought a 99 back in may with black and blue leather! Looks great. It had 226,000 mi when I got her now she had 230,000 mi, she was fully serviced by the previous owner always at the dealership. What a beast ! Feels better then a lot of newer cars and for way less money! I paid $6400.00 only issue is the asr/abs light going on but that happened on my previous 99 e320 also , it's no big deal , it always goes away after you restart her up. I think they engineer problems like that to get people into the dealership. Anyways the forum here is pretty good , would love help getting some rear side window roller shades though. Someone out there please help!

I still drive mine everyday. I've gotten rid of a '00 4Runner and '03 Honda VFR800 over the last eight years, but the AMG remains. Just crossed 162K...added a Magnaflow muffler about a month ago. As far as the tail light swap...I've truly enjoyed my LED conversion. MUCH brighter than stock and updates the rear end quite a bit. Still tons of searchable topics and how-to-dos as well.
