I think early w210s are more prone to issues. However, both cars are AMG so you shouldn't worry about the engine or the transmission.
IMHO I prefer the M119 engine found in the E50, because it's DOHC.
But I prefer the looks of the post-facelift E55.


Good luck

+1,

M119 is a good platform, but it's so heavy & work with it is "pain in the a***",

M113 is lighter & its fun to work with, cheaper items and much performance parts can be found easily...

ZAYED,,
