Wish they made an E63 Coupe. This car looks gorgeous, it would make the perfect AMG coupe pretty much.

Honestly while the V8 is the best in AMG, the straight six engine is really good
So happy to see that Mercedes brought back that engine and it’s also perfect for AMG like the V8

Best car journalist/reviewer. And you look more rested nowadays! Good work!

You guys find some of the best music, and I think that it’s under appreciated. Thanks for the great review as always!

Nice review. I've always thought the E53 was a bit of a sleeper car for Mercedes. I'm seriously looking to get a low mileage used one.

Love the 63 but the 53 series is pretty cool because of that straight six engine

Literally my favorite Mercedes. No b-pillar and an elegant design. Can't wait for the upcoming facelift

The models look too much alike used to be able to clearly tell the difference between a c63 e63 s63 now they literally all look alike

Absolutely awesome motor, test drove a 70 plate in blue and came back to show room, traded my BMW X5 GO5 3.0d M Sport .

Has the E53 a similar stiff ride as the E63 or is it a bit softer and more comfortable ?

[mahituna]

I think if Mercedes dropped the AMG badge on this car and just added the motor and etc as options to the E450 nobody would have complained

Thanks for exploring how the electric and the inline 6 engines work together over the road.

53 is the most interesting powertrain in any mfg lineup today. Wish I could "reward" M-B by buying one!

I really love the E Coupe, I think it's the best looking german coupe at the moment, it's a real shame that they don't make a 63.

Cavansite Blue Metallic. Love it. Suits that car so well.

0:39 What an absolutely stunning color

talking about the straight 6, why haven't you guys done a review of the M140i yet

[mygoogle]

Great review and you clearly get the love it because it's so versatile, im delighted its not a tail happy twicthy 2 wheel drive tradional amg. The e53 doesn't care that its tyres arnt warm and road is damp, the 4matic ensures you feel safe and secure at all times. infact in damper conditions i'd bet (i.e. reality in UK 60% of time) it would slay many other v8 powered 4 seat amgs out there. People who worry about is it a real amg should consider the motivations above, same is true of idiots who want to rename it taking amg out, they worked on the suspension, powertrain, steering, etc...so doh yes its an amg, just not the lunatic about to kill you you think an amg has to be. Welcome to progress....

When is the LCC Rocket film going to be released?! That is my favorite car. Critically underrated and undocumented.

There should be no 53 series cars they should be labeled as 500.
