The Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG (W211) is an excellent high-performance sedan. Today I'm reviewing a 2004 E55 AMG to show you all around it, and I'm going to show you all the quirks and features of the E55 AMG. Then I'm going to drive the Mercedes E55 AMG and tell you what it's like on the road.

9:38 because if you you open sun roof just that it raise up that vent brings nicely wind in cabin and not sun.
Really don't get why Doug didn't do any acceleration in this video. He has one clip of himself doing a short acceleration but that's it. Very disappointing especially considering how much time he spent talking about how Mercedes dropped the hammer and surprised everyone with this car. One acceleration was not enough
I thought it was the Audi with it's C5 RS6.
I never knew i had a CD stacker until i watched this video. Comedy!
About the front cupholder: I think this was an afterthought from Mercedes. Here in Germany, it is actually not the standart that cars have cupholders, at least is is not expected. I work at a mercedes dealership as a mechanik and most of these E-Classes do not have a cupholder there, it is normally an ash tray or a little storage compartment. So my theorie is, that mercedes wanted to add an cupholder when they brought this car to the US, and that was their weird solution
I remember I saw a W211 E55 AMG when I was 8, and it blows my mind how fast this "E-class" was!
Dodge is now making the fastest sedan
Correction: At 11:38 You mention that the car didn't have a body kit but the AMG versions does have a different body kit than the standard e55. It has side skirts and different front and back bumpers.
5:10 -the broad slot is not for business cards but it is meant for the parking disc, which is obligatory in several countries. It fits nicely there. Also the second pencil slot is too short for most pencils but It fits a pen like tyre pressure meter.
Love how Doug can do a review in a Wendy's car park, with a drug dealers car and still pull it off semi professional
sun roof holes are for cold air if sunroof is opened
why does it show 160 max when it can go 200+ mph?
The headrests look very dramatic.
That design Benz is the best ever, it has held up pretty well.
9:40 this is to open the glass, close the thing and getting fresh air through the holes
Those really do have some quirks and features, I rode in one of these when I was 13 it was brand new, I remember being jealous of my friends rich Dad and his e55 amg, the guy also had a 1990 Ferrari, he told me the Mercedes was way faster and I was a kid so I thought he was yanking my chain! How could a Benz beat a Ferrari?
I still love it lol idc what year we in and what comes out 😂 i’d love to own an E55 and i hope i own one, one day👌
that car is overheating, in Celsius:)
I actually like where the clock is lol
Am so glad I bought a 2006 with better cup holders lol
I own a '04 E55, but the guy that owned it before me took out the original stereo and center cup holders and put really dark tinting on the back windows... I'll never forgive him for this heresy.
Also, the passenger storage compartment under the seat is were the First Aid kit originally went, and that trunk latch attaches to the top of the trunk so if you're getting something out of the bottom compartment the top flap won't get in your way.
“... beat THIS”
BMW "beat it" for approximately 2-3 years until their e60's showed their true colors and now they are an automotive meme.
There is actually a little button on the rear ash tray, if u push it the silver thing will wiggle for clearing out the smoked part of a cigarette 👍
I once owned this car. My mechanic spent more time with it than I did.
Thanks Doug for nearly doubling the price of e55s.
E55 5.4S may have less HP than E63, but it has 50 extra lb-ft 🔥🔥
Dear Doug, if cup holder are so complicate in européen s car is because they are only added for the american market.
Mercedes E350 Sport review/обзор w211 grworld.info/fund/pMKQo8XVg4aaqWU/b-nteo
Found one for 8k... might need to scoop it up
They must've designed it for 007
love the channel
I'm not gonna lie it was pretty reasonably priced for what it was
How much you want to bet the cubby under the seat was for a gun 😂
subscribe
I have the 04 E500 and it still a great car. I would love the extra in the AMG.
It looks exactly like my c230 lol
saab have had those sunwisers since the 90s
Doug demuro is only 32, somethings go to NG on here
Great F'n commercial.
I had one of theses for about a year, Initially fell in love with the power train, but getting more used to it, i started to notice more of the cars short comings. I could never learn to like the headlights, the hood is massive, no locking diff. It has a hard time putting the power down in anything other than a straight line.. Handling/airmatic and slow auto on this is its major Achilles heel. Nice interior though. I swapped mine for an e39 M5, and although down on power, it is the complete package, never looked back.
I couldn’t believe I never saw this video 🤔
My w211 cup holder still works
I was thinking about getting one, and lo and behold it’s the same damn color as this one
i have a c32 amg kompressor and its aighhhh. bought it for 4800 with 130k miles it pulls 0-60 in like 4.9
Sounds good Doug. But don't forget about the Cadillac STS-V😎
He found the only car with a working cupholder
I am on my 3rd cup holder in my CLK. It’s not the exact same one is that it’s the one that pops up and then you press the button and the side expands to have a passenger couple older those always fucking break too...
I have a very weird taste in cars first I am always an American car enthusiast second I am a Mercedes-Benz/euro car Enthusiast I own three cars all of them very different. I have the CLK 55 cabriolet from the generation before. This will be my next AMG you find me a car that’s from the early 2000s that still works modern today. That’s the thing about Mercedes Benz Kenseal a.k.a. from the 90s and it doesn’t really look that auto place where as if you put a Cadillac from the 90s it would look really long in the tooth. Some of the most beautiful body lines of ever seen on a car I fucking love the class
15:25 STUTUTUTU
U can buy 1 for like 8k
That’s a very nice example
That’s a very nice example
Love this car
Talking about the sound it’s perfect not to loud Just right
I have a c32 and would say this car launched the hp battle. It was pretty insane for a v6 and took out almost every car of it's time.
Who would guess... in 2004 no touch screen.. what a trash infotainment system. Boo mercedes!
this thing will definetly go up in value
This is more complicated than the apollo 13
This car is violently early 2000's I love it
Fun 5 out of 10?? But Screaming like a school girl while hitting the gas...
Don't understand why he didn't do more acceleration clips. What was the point of talking about the power and only showing it once for 3 seconds. He has never done that with any other car especially a performance car
55° F I see ? ;-)
Doug is the type of guy to state the quirks and features of his new born child
All the hidden compartments are made for drug dealers 😂
That silver line is a disc, it is not just a line.
Well, this really wasn't the car to start the horsepower war. The Audi RS6 C5 (which was available as a sedan back then) came out in 2002 and that had 450PS and the "Plus" version of that car had in excess of 480PS. You draw a conclusion from this
I’ve always love this cars I want to buy em someday
“Its mauve bro” “mauve” 🤦♂️
Super rare color
I appreciate the transition with the pool analogy!
German cars are complex but the handle damn good!
What do you mean this car has not the sound This car has the perfect sound. To to quiet not to loud
I LOVE THIS E-AMG VERSION 2004 !
19:44 can anyone guess the RPMs?
I believe the R230 (SL series) also had that same compartment under the seat.
That explains the prices...
Chrome wheels😳
Doug is the Tarantino of car lovers.
It really looks great and is well equiped for 04!
Lots of hidey holes for your Cocaine.
This car is in insanely immaculate condition. I couldn't help but try and examine little imperfections - but I couldn't see any.
Why would someone want a E55 AMG station wagon 😭😭
Because fast wagons are the shit.
I own the cl55 and am in love with it
My mom has an e-220 (not an amg but its the same thing whitout the v8) from 2006 and the cupholder works perfectly
THIS is dougs 500th video
16:32 Why is no one talking about how he forced the trunk to close 😂
Because it's not a big deal. They are designed to be pulled down even though he could just use the button
I have a e500 2005 and i have de all glass roof with compresion seat that you forget to talk
doug is the type of guy to to be a car cup holder enthusiast
When you tilt the sunroof it allows air in without having to open the entire cover.
Burgundy?
E55 might be the sedan but the cls 55 is far more aggressive looking!
Am I looking in the wrong places or are these cars starting to pick up in price a bit ?
The sun roof cover has those slats in it because you can just raise the rear of the sunroof up to let in a little air without having to open the entire thing. My S500 has it too!
I believe the lines in the sunroof cover is to allow hot air to escape when the vehicle is parked with the sunroof popped up. Since hot air rises it escapes through those lines and keeps the interior cooler. This is just a theory though lol.
This car is compared with m5 e60 wich is bettttter
4:34 in Europe we got it as a secret compartment
Mercedes really just so bored and smart even the cup holders need to be advanced.
The sun roof cover doesn't have holes in it for the sun. Its so that air can flow thru it if u open it or tilr the sunroof
Man I wish he'd enunciate a little better...
