Why The M113K Is One of The Best Mercedes Engines | V8 Kompressor (4K)

In this video, I discuss why the Mercedes AMG 'V8 Kompressor' M113k engine is a favourite among enthusiasts. The m113k was featured in the w211 E55, w219 CLS55, w220 S55, W215 CL55, R230 SL55, as well as others. I start by going over some differences between the standard M113 engine and the AMG versions, then go into more detail on the m113k.

The amount of knowledge in this video is rare nowadays with Youtubers clickbaiting left and right

Quality AMG video as usual! 217, 000 miles on my daily driven stock 2006 E55 and counting. My favorite car all-time!

230, 000 Miles on my Daily driven Modded W211 E55 and I have ZERO issues. Best car I've ever owned

[cezaris]

M113K is the best AMG engine ever made !!!

For some reason G class is rarely mentioned when talking about M113K.

It makes the 2.6 tonnes G55 feel light like a feather. Very mixed/unusual feeling.
The continuous 4wd and heavy mass helps to convert all of the torque into brutal acceleration.

Love riding it. This engine is perfected for joy.

Also, I mention the 5 litre as the 'base' m113. There is the 4.3L, but I am meaning that the 5 litre is the base for the AMG m113k engine which is the title of this video.

Every time I think about selling my E55 you post a video reminding me of how awesome the car really is. Love the videos.

This guys videos are better than what mercedes produce for their technicians. Really Nicely edited. Amazing knowledge for the Hands on M113k powered owner.

Lots of excellent info here that I’ve been looking for. One minor quibble: the base M113 was the 4.3L V8 that had the same bore and stroke as the 3.2L M112 V6. The bore was later enlarged to create the 5L.

I love my 2007 SL55. Have it tuned to 610 hp & 720 tq. It's been expensive to maintain at top level but worth every penny when I punch it.

[ericvermeulen]

Owned a 2005 E55 and what a machine it was👌🏻👌🏻 sold mine at 600hp and at 200k km on the odo, one of the most underestimated performance cars off all time brilliant and properly engineered 👌🏻👌🏻

Great Video as always. The M113K will go down in history as one of the greatest engines, no doubt. I can't get enough of my with LT MBH headers and x pipe. It's such a Torque monster. I will however be adding an oil pressure gauge before the summer is over for peace of mind. Love your channel, keep the great content coming! Used your leather treatment video today to get my interior back to factory fresh matte finish and soft leather. All the best.

[josef]

For me this is the best video about the M113K engine so far!

Best Regards from Germany.
I drive a C63 AMG with the 6.2L Engine, but I miss my m113k Enigne it was the best Engine that I have own in my life.

[VekaM]

Top quality insight. I always suspected that the power output was the same between the 55k cars of the same year, but Mercedes could not admit that the cheaper E55 was faster than a flagship "sports car" SL55 with the same engine.

[MarkGeraghty]

My SL55 has 70, 000 miles. I have put 35, 000 miles on it in 7 years, it is still creamy smooth and incredibly quick. I love that engine. PS - you forgot to mention the sound, it is one of the most incredible sounding engines, always makes me smile,

[zeomarmob]

Because my cls55 has 190k with 530hp renntech, and doesn’t get old. Every traffic light start is like a first start. One correction: it started as 4.3L in 1997 E430 then into C43 AMG, not from 5.0

The M113 naturally aspirated engine is the most bullet proof of the two.

[jeremyplc]

I love how the oil pump problem has never been talked about for like the 15 first years of this platform, then one guy blows an engine running twin turbos thru the supercharger at who knows how many miles of abuse and it becomes a "common issue"

[Randy-qqlr]

Great video. Love those E55 AMG but didn’t know some of that info. Best part is I was there in Leavenworth to see all those beautiful Benz’s that day. Had no idea you guys were there. Drove mine up for a day trip. Sweet cars. 😎
