E55 w211 rear end same as other models like 219, etc?

There are Some on eBay for low prices, so I could get the lsd put in them to make the swap quicker.

I guess the ratios may be different.

Search and you'll find. Some have lower ratio, requiring tcu tuning, etc etc etc

Well, at least looks like W219 is the same.

Found some factual info. I will repost here (since having multiple threads with info does help).

E55 has 2 different diffs built in:
HAG210E -> up to 2004, screwed side shafts
HAG215 -> 2004 up to now, plugged side shafts.


AMG-Diffs from R230, C219 und W211 fit into your car.


Gear Ratio E55: 2,65
Gear Ratio E63: 2,82
Gear Ratio CLS55: 2,65
Gear Ratio CLS63: 2,82
Gear Ratio SL55: 2,82
Gear Ratio SL63: 3,06
Gear Ratio SL65: 2,82


If you mount a different gear ratio, you need to code gear ratio in TCU.
MB cannot code gear ratio. This needs to be done by a tuner.

Search my threads, I just went through this and ended up using an 06 cls55 differential.

Thanks. All I wanted to do was get one and rebuild it with an lsd so it would be less time down.

Good info. Have you decided upon a diff yet...Quaife?

Wish I would have done the LSD as my first mod.
