2004 Mercedes-Benz E 55 AMG w211 - E-class of the compressors era

In autumn 2002, the E 55 AMG high-performance saloon made its debut. This model was the most powerful Mercedes-Benz E-Class to date. Already familiar from the SL 55 AMG, the high-performance engine delivered 350 kW/476 hp at 6,100 rpm, developing a peak torque of 700 Newton-metres, which was available in a wide band between 2,650 and 4,500 rpm. Such tremendous power afforded extraordinary performance. The E 55 AMG took 4.7 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, reaching 200 km/h in 16.1 seconds. The top speed was 250 km/h (electronically limited). Despite its sporty character, the AMG high-performance saloon was thrifty with fuel, consuming just 12.9 liters per 100 kilometers in the NEDC combined cycle. The exhaust emissions, too, were within narrow limits: at the time of its launch in 2002, the E 55 AMG already met EU4 limits that did not come into effect until 2005.

Mine has been flawless for 100K miles, zero mechanical or electrical issues. Did replace front ball joints but that is a normal wear item along with motor mounts.
