Loose is fast. Cars that are fully broken in tend to be must faster and more powerful than new, tight cars. It's interesting to see the follow up test numbers when C&D or Road&Track do long-term wrap-ups. Their test cars are almost ALWAYS faster at 40K than when new. I think they just get faster as the engine loosens up (not losing compression).120K mi for a MBZ shouldn't be an issue if you're 1/2 decent with maintenance.
Great to see so many with 100K+ mileage...I plan to put that and then some on mine.

Interested? Have you ever done Tranny flush? When recently speaking w/MB shop foreman, he told me he has NEVER seen a tranny fail on a 600/65 5 speed (though MB states NO maintenance/flush till 100k I'm @ 48k)

even though mb said i didn't need a trans flush, i did a flush and replaced the filter around 65k. just replaced half the fluid, then again around 115k.

2001 E55 AMG
Just wondering how reliable an E55 AMG can be? Mine is an '04 and it's right at 82K m
Bought mine 12/07 with 110,000 miles after test drive proved the car worthy. Just went over 133,000 miles the other day, and have never had any mechanical issues other than routine maintenance.
However, it does need new CATS. I am getting a check engine light as a result...the weird thing is when I passed the emissions testing when I got new tags recently. The light goes on and off from time to time, so I ran over to the testing center when the light was off and they passed me. That was a relief - otherwise it would have been about 3K to install the new cats.
I am considering whether it's worth it to put them in...in two years I'll need emissions testing again for renewal of tags. Maybe I'll just sell the car...or maybe have some fun w/it and do the CAT/exhaust modification that everyone raves about...
