E55 = E55k...

There is only one car. If you see one referred to as E55"k," it is just a normal E55...

0-60 in 4.18 according to G-Tech RR.

Some older E55 (2003) have 160mph speedos and newer ones have 200mhp speedos. so there is some very slight changes with the W211 body style as the years went on.

Get a E55K with the supercharger hands down. You will not regret it one bit. Look for the V8 Kompressor badge on the side of the car thats what you want.

How to find a E55 by vin # W210 w/o Kompressor vin # start WDBJF and the W211 with Kompressor vin # start WDBUF. The W210 end 2002 and the W211 is from 2003 to 2006. The W211 63s are the same start vin# but that's 2007 to 2009.

Just go to Edmunds or Wikipedia and look up E55's from 2002 and 2003. They will answer most of your questions.

Assuming it's not a poser car

Best way to make sure is to check the power generator itself just open the hood and see how the engine looks like.

If it looks like this, then it's the S/C one...


Otherwise, it's a poser... LOL.
