W210 & W211 ?
Hi everybody!
I guess this will be my first post here.
Some of you maybe will laugh now, but my question is:
What is the differences between W210 and W211?
Is it just the new model and the old model of E-Klasse?
And the same goes for the CLK55: W208, W209.

If you have to ask that question you should change your name from "MercedesFanatic" to "MercedesNovice". Welcome. 
W210 E55 2000-2002:
W211 E55 2003-???:
W210 E55 2000-2002:
W211 E55 2003-???:

It might be easier to ask what didn't they change on both cars.
My guess...
1. Lug nuts
2. Oil filler cap
3. Cigar lighter

They both use the same brand of turn signal fluid and the "Was-ist-das" button is in the same place...
The W210 turned in to the W211
The W202 turned in to the W203
The W208 turned in to the W209
and so on...
New car designs so they get new chassie numbers.

The 211 is a complete redesign of the 210.
New sheetmetal, much upgraded interior, engine moved from 349 hp to 469 hp.
The two cars are very different.
The CLK55 upgrades from 208 to 209 were less significant, especially as regards the engine. Horsepower barely budged, and the 209 did not get the supercharged engine the new E55 has.
Remarkably, the new 209 CLK55 is priced almost the same as the 211 E55, despite markedly inferior engine and amenities.

Whether it's cars, computers, kitchen appliances, or home theaters, you have 'outdated' gear soon after you buy it.
But if you make a wise purchase and can distinguish between what you NEED to be happy and what the marketers TELL YOU you need to be happy, satisfaction shouldn't be hard to come by.
Stiggs, you have to remember that many people (like the original poster) come here to get info about cars they're interested in buying. Comparing and contrasting is a necessity.
No one is saying your CLK55 is not a great car.
My comments are made only to contrast it with the E55.

Just because I don't know what W210 resp. W211 is, that makes me a novice, thank you.

white and whiter
you'll with the 55s need to shut up...I only have a C32....
nahh...just playing...
as for the price of the 209 55. I think they had to price it that way because after all the 208's msrp was only couple hundred cheaper. New car will always be a little more expensive. As for the 209 not having the kompressor, I guess you guys with the 211 E55 can look at it as you guys got a bonus pkg since the price didn't increase that much over the previous model yet you get a lot more power. That way, the 209 is not overpriced, but the 211 is underpriced.

John,
You show you have a Valentine 1, did you install it and hard wire it or did you have someone do it? My 02 e55 came with a passport so I have run the 2 side by side and there is no comparision between the two. I need to jerk the passport out and hardwire the Valentine. Input would be helpful. thanks
