Drive the two, and you won't ask anymore questions.

00 E55 AMG
Being new to the forum, I recently asked a similar question. Having driven both W210's, the difference in a word is incredible. Here is the answer in a nutshell: http://www.mercedes-benz.ca/index.cfm?NewsID=46&id=2962

I have owned regular Mercedes before the AMGs, and I would never go back to the regular Benz. The power of AMG is very addicting. Even my wife who never push the car to the limit will only drive AMG. To me it is worth every penny.

I agree. I have an E500, which I find very adequate as a daily driver...

BUT, after driving my friend's stock W211 E55, I feel like I'm rolling around in a Civic!

'10 MB E63, '08 ML550 ('05 E55, '05 SL55, '08 E63 GONE)
HUGE difference in the two... MASSIVE.

The 500's are competent for sure, but the 55's are in another league.

Got an E500 loaner yesterday for my A service, very nice sedan but our AMG's have true racing inspired heritage, just look at the work when she is up on a lift. Check out the tech data of the motor,etc...yea-I love my AMG! Joker
