This is my 4th Mercedes and 2nd AMG but is literally my best one yet! 2004 with 54k miles! Clean carfax! Loaded with extras! Got it yesterday and decided NOW is the time to sign up here on MBWorld. Let me know what you think everybody!
I think it looks fantastic. Congratulations!
Stock?
Thank you! Great question! Not quite stock. Lol. Here's a list of extras, not counting the ceramic coating! Its pushing about 600hp/650lb ft torque. Will have it on a dyno soon!
Looks like it is in mint condition and you can't find another one with those miles, congratulations!
Thanks! Yeah it has been well maintained. He's been my personal mechanic since I bought my 1st Mercedes. I didnt know he even had one but I called about his advice on an S55 I was considering, and he asked if I would consider an E. I said, "Well yeah but they are hard to come by." He's been going through a lot and had to sell it. Its a monster!
That rocks. These cars are a total riot and full on sleepers at the same time.
Take care of it and it will treat you right!
More pictures ! ! !
Thanks! Speaking of sleepers, i noticed your profile pic and well, mine has been debadged on the trunk except for the Star. He had brand new badges that he gave me and I'm considering putting them on. I'm a "flaunt it if I got it" kinda guy too. Lol. I didnt buy an AMG to fly under the radar. Ha! Besides, I noticed a huge difference in people tailgating me less when I went from my S550 to the AMG. People just stay back a bit further. Anyway, I only got a few other pics Rear wheels off SL550 are now the rear wheels on my E55. OEM rear wheels from E55 are now the front wheels after adding SL550s on rear. This was also in the trunk.
I took when I got home with it. I was going to take some others, inside and under hood too, but its been raining. Ill add them to the thread in a day or 2 if yall would like to see them.
I never did understand why one would want to de-badge this car. It's such a lo-key flex (very lo-key). Most people have no idea what they are looking at when an E55 rolls by. But if you know, you know!
I say put the badges back on (I would if it were mine). Here's a thread that will help you get them installed in the exact right spots. @E55Greasemonkey and @CQHall did a really nice job showing how to get the positioning just right. Read through their thread and study all the pictures and then re-install your badges. The E55 will thank you for it.
You can also have a look through my car's thread, Meet the Speed Sled (our cars look similar) to see if there are any items in there that might help you out. Although with such a low mileage example like yours, you may not have much broken stuff to deal with.

Awesome man, thanks a lot for the info! And I'm with you on putting them back on for sure. Was definitely a bit concerned about placement. I want them perfect,, 100%. And will check out your "sled" immediately!
Thanks T! I've always loved these cars and can't believe I actually own a pretty pristine example 20 years after the itch! So good to finally scratch! Ha!
Thanks man! I love it! Just found out about an hour ago my cupholder thing is broke. I thought it was just the hole in the console. Lol. Didn't realize there was a hole contraption that slides down in there. Found one on eBay and it should be here soon!
Very nice! Looks like mine when you look down in yours without the holder. Im glad to see that cuz I wasn't sure if there was some kind of tab or something broke.
Mine was missing when I bought the CLS55, I think the previous owner liked it so much he kept it :P
Lol. Possible. Never know. My S63 was missing the owners manual, etc. After searching online for a replacement I found out why it was missing. Those things aren't cheap!
she's a beaut! those sl55 wheels are such a nice subtle upgrade. i never liked how sunken in the oem rears looked and this pokes them out just right.
Thanks man! I think you're right and I'm glad they came on the car. After giving her the gas, their usefulness goes from "just for looks" to "extremely practical". Haha!

Here's a few pictures from a better angle showing just what you are referring to about the wheels/tires. Its rained every other day around here otherwise she'd be cleaner and I'd have some pics of that fine interior as well. Coming soon! Should I lower the front end a little? Car came with a LoMo M1 Lowering Module already installed. Nothing but a thing now. Thought about toying with it. Meat. The front tires are the old rear tires from this car, which still aren't nearly as wide as the SL wheels.
Beautiful car, rare to find with those miles. Enjoy it!
what color is it exactly? Hard to tell on my end.
good luck with it, with those mods you should enjoy it for years to come without issue.

Preciate the kind words, Joe! The paint code is C723. From what I can tell online its Cubanite Silver/Pewter.
Thanks again! I'm hoping so! Do these mods increase longevity? I was kinda thinking the opposite due to a heavy foot, no? This is my first endeavor with car mods so I'm learning. Lol.

Lucky you. I’m looking for one in this exact color.
