2000+ E55 or C32 Which one?

I know some of you used to own or maybe still own C32, Since I can afford the new E55 AMG I am looking at 2000+ E55 or C32 AMG.

Which one???

In another hand what are the aftermarket options for brakes?

Thanks in advance

2004 E55 AMG
Why bother asking, you know we would all say E55.
If you could afford it, why not get it. very simple choice.

I have to go with the E55 there, if you must decide between the C32 and the w210 E55. The luxury just didn't come online with the C until the w203 55 amg. I think the w203 c55 is better than both, what I own. But, if you are craving some back seat space, then the w210 e55 is probably where it is at for you.

One of the reason I am looking at C32 AMG is because still the same design, as the latest C-class since the E55 was already replaced by the new E-class body style.

I may be wrong but I but I drove a C32 the same day the I bought my C55 and the 2005 C55 has a different body style, particularly the front of the car. Personally I think the styling of the C55 is very cool. I also thought the C55 definately handled better than the C32, and had more get up and go for sure.

I know you're thinking about the E55, just like I am, but you may want to include the 2005 C55 in your thoughts. Especially if you would consider any mods. That's just my two cents.......

yes the front of the car is different. Just for your infomation, the front of the C class is larger than other C models to house the big V8 engine.

i do the c 32 (i owned) versus the dated 210 styling just on looks alone. if you want to spend 40k or so for a back seat buy an srt8 300 at 425hp, more than both.

everything for the C32 is the same as the w203, it is the c55 that has the different clk-style front clip.

That's if you can find one. They're selling at $10k over sticker right now!
