2000 W210 E55->2003 R230 SL500->2004 W211 E55->2007 997TT+2007 E63->2010 GLK350->2012 E550 4matic
Answer
I thought the W210 E55 was launched in the US in 1998 or 1999. W211 was launched in 2003. Engine displacement has not changed at 5.4L. Difference is they just added a supercharger on the W211.

2004 E55
The first year of the W210 I believe was '99 - It was touted as the fastest sedan (beating the gs400 f/'98) you could buy. It lost that title to the M5 on 2000. -- so I believe '99 was indeed the first year.
The Perf. figures for the W210 were 349 HP & 390+ lbs ot trq.
The Perf. figures for the W211 are 469 HP & 516 lbs of trq.
Sing praises to the Kompressor!!!!!

1st W210 E55 was 1999 (I think introduced mid-1998).
In 2000, W210 E55 got some face lift (front & rear bumper, hood and multi-function steering wheel) just like other W210s. Engine is still the same (5.5L NA V8).
Mid / late 2003, 2004 W211 was introduced w/ S/C engine....
Figures....
W210 349hp 391lb-ft
W211 469hp 516lb-ft
