E55 AMG 5-Year Ownership Update (4K)

In this video, I talk about the maintenance costs and reliability of my 2004 E55 AMG w211, which I bought in 2014. This AMG E-class Mercedes has been surprisingly good, especially with a lot of the work being done by myself with just parts costs to worry about.

Most underrated channel on YouTube. Simply perfect

These videos are always a pleasure to watch... informative, just the right length, with a lot of smooth and well-filmed footage.

[LegitStreetCars]

I love watching your videos. Another great one.

When I work on my E55 AMG, I hear your voice in my head telling me what to do and your background music.

[jameslovering]

IMHO this design on the W211 was classic and timeless and even now when I see one I stop and look. I like the latest shapes now with the more organic shapes but in between nothing looks that good. These are still incredible cars, I gotta buy one !

[doublevanoz]

Whatever wheel, tire, spacer etc combo you are running looks spot-on!

Have the same year with same interior. Pewter exterior color. Bought it 18 months ago with 30, 000 miles. Now has 41, 000 miles. Have had no issues with car. If your on the fence about buying one DO IT!!!

wow, immaculate E55! a testament to your diligent care

[toddallison]

Always love your videos and so glad you got your E55 out on the road this year. I agree, I've owned mine since Jan and have put approx 5K miles and am just under 70k miles for my 2006. This thing eats up highway miles and is really a joy to drive.

16-yrs. Unbelievable. The 1st year that I drove it was 2003. Although my W204 C63 was my one of my last AMGs owned, if one would ask me to buy another, I would definitely go for the W211 E55. Great video and pls. do keep it up!

Simply the best al- round. Car + video + channel

[thSense]

Ive said it and i will say it again. This guy deserves way more subscribers. In the 100k's at the very least. Very detailed and informative videos. Will rewatch all of em when exchangin my 204 for 211 e500 and retrofitting stuff

[dlwst]

That was all just routine wear and tear, and maintenance. Thats rock solid reliable.

[marcovanni]

What a nice travel experience. AMG; built to last with proper maintenance. Enjoy the rumble.

[Dajkid]

I also have a 06 silver E55. You videos are spot on accurate.

[AkselMagnus]

Excellent video as always! Appreciate the quality.

[VJDM]

Great vid Richard! Was good to see you again this year. I’ll be looking forward to LW 20’ and seeing you and your 55k again. Cheers!

M113k is a great engine. I’m loving my g55, 180mm crank pulley possibly on the way

[ericvermeulen]

Great video, just a quick experience I’d like also like to share, i Had a 05 E55 and drove it to 200 000km before i sold it mods where a renntech 158 crank pulley long tube headers and a tune and what a beast it was Maintanance wise it was rear airbags one left front bellow brakes and services, unfortunately the gearbox whent out at about 210000 but it turned out to be the oil prime pump in front of the gearbox that the bush collapsed, Mercedes has a revised needle bearing for the cure, but in general they are pretty solid cars especially the 113k👌🏻

[rubensalvatierra]

I put over 100k on my 03 E55. Sold it at 198k miles to a friend and it’s still running to this day! Looking to get another one over the winter. Amazing car!
