My 2001 E55 update
Hey whats up my w210 owners haven't posted since i've picked her up a few months ago. Did a few routine maintenance things myself like valve covers, resealed breather covers, replaced some hoses, front wheel bearings, threw on some Wald Duchatlet 2 pieces wheels with spacers i had from my w202s, carbon lip, carbon door pillars, and custom steering wheel.. and a few other things. This is my first Mercedes other then a w202 and i love it so far been an awesome/dependable daily for me and an absolute blast to drive! The other day i spent 3+ hours detailing my 55 !! the results were awesome so i figured i'd share a few pics with y'all cheers ps anyone in the New York / New Jersey area ? i know a few people with w210 e55s would be awesome to have a meet up when weather gets nicer.

beautiful setup you have, damn i wouldve bought those wheels off you!
I own a tectite grey E55, currently at 202K miles. transmission shifts like butter and the power is amazing still. It burns oil when i have a heavy foot but most mercedes of this era has a tendency to do that.

Your very lucky to have the tectite grey !! my buddy has a e320 in that color looks awesome can't imagine having an Amg 210 in that color. Wow 202k miles and still runs like a beast, really goes to show how great these cars really are. The wheels were sold to an owner of a R129 SL500 unfortunately and not another 210. The spacers really help a lot i recommend them to anyone looking for an aggressive touch to there lowered e55 cause without them the wheels look like there buried and hidden in the fenders. My e55 needs the oil cooler resealed and rear main seal done, weeps a bit from those areas sadly but i'll get that addressed. Hey If your on instagram follow me @broken_euros
speaking of the wheels, would you be intereted in parting ways with the monoblocks you have? yes spacers are a must if you have your car lowered!
as fair as maintenance all ive done aside from oil changes recently are breather hoses and valve cover gaskets. thinking about doing a transmission flush.. but it shifts smooth as butter right now. not sure if / how long i should wait on that. any ideas?
