The W211 generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class was the third generation of the mid-size model produced between 2002 and 2009. It wasn’t known for its reliability since this was a period with unexpected quality issues for the Stuttgart-based automaker. However, it was a comfortable and fast family car, especially in the AMG versions.
What we have in this video is a Mercedes E55 AMG, which means this particular car was built between 2003 and 2006. By today’s standards, it’s a dinosaur with a supercharged V8 mill under the hood but we will get to the engine in just a second. But before that, we’d like to take a moment to praise the W211's design, which aged very well and in this AMG version, the white sedan still looks fantastic almost two decades after it rolled off the assembly lines.
