Can’t afford a new E63 S AMG? Just buy a cheap E55, add in a few bolt-ons like a smaller supercharger pulley, headers, larger throttle body, and a tune and call it a day. Find out what these simple modifications do for the quarter mile and 0-60 MPH times, and I show you one modification that made the car go slower.

Kincaid Killer Chiller far superior to ice cubes and never runs out. Best mod I did to my M156 C63 after installing the ESS supercharger. 635whp at just 8psi. Reliable and repeatable.
That car does 11s stock
Was your car in dyno mode if so are you in sport mode or had to use the paddle shifts Thank you also what year is your car my E55 is a 2003 model 👍
You need to add m1 not m1 and mix with water
not 100 but if you do all water i thought your jets need to be larger. First run you did you had a bit of meth in it so your jets would have been fine. Im doing meth with throttle body plate single and I want to run a little meth just 10-20%. Not sure how it will work.
I wonder how many people have bought E55’s thanks to Alex’s videos… I did and I see a few others in the comments that say they did too. 😁
How DARE you use the term "Quirks and Features"
Impressive my stock 2015 CLS63 SAMG goes 11.5
Didn't make it through the first couple of minutes, just all advertising
You almost made me cry…. I almost thought you were serious, u don’t know what i was thinking hahahaha!!!!
I've been watching all of your videos, about to scoop one of these for 10k that was stock until about 20k miles ago. Only 160k on it pretty stoked
Good run
That awesome. I have a 2012 I Porsche Panamera Turbo S all I did was a flash on the ECU and went 11.3 at 124 going to do some mods soon.
All those bolt ons, you should of been running 10.8 1/4… Did u do split cooling mod to eliminate the high IAT's
Can I install a supercharger to my 2007 Mercedes cls550 and what type of supercharger would you recommend ? Thanks!
Hi Alex! Maybe the car needs to cool down after each run, same then at the dyno tests….It calls my attention your first run which was the faster….Another consideration. You upgrade many things but none the engine oil cooling, maybe, just maybe if you upgrade it in some way, oil temp could keeps cooler and in consequence, all the engine….You are using the stock engine oil cooler!
What year is this? I’m looking to buy this car soon I want the same year as yours.
Did you have the traction control off?
I recently have a 2005 E55 AMG. Your channel is amazing! Thanks from Winnipeg!
I have a C32 AMG Mercedes 66k miles the little brother to yours. It’s fast though 12 second 1/4 0-60 4.6 seconds top speed 184 mph. It will go 190 mph with gear change. It had the Governor removed at AMG a $2300 Euro option.AMG would quietly do it for a fee to owners who paid for it. Who wanted to go on Autobahn and beat Porsche and BMW of the era. This was premerger car . Well Mercedes bought half of ownership than all of AMG than we all know quality after 2006 went down and AMG badges and packages on all kinds of Mercedes who didn’t deserve the badge BMW did same with M packages so it was the bean counters and corporate dbags who ruined the brand. The older ones are the best. I am testing waters on selling mine to get E55 AMG like yours Kleimann tune and pulley and lowered.
How is the E55 running this days after those mods
i have a E55 amg, and LTH and a tune here in Wv was about 35-40 minutes from VRP but since then they have moved to colorado
I don't have a W211 AMG, but a W211 E420CDI with the V8 BiTurbo Diesel
Funny, 1st through third, you have the same shift points as my 79 450sl. Just a wee bit brisker.
What went clunk in the trunk on the first launch?
I have an 05 CL55 & 16 E63-S. I've not noticed until this video how slow shifting the 55's are.
i have a w211 e63
I just got a black w211 e55 and I love your channel!! Keen to get that key chain if you have some left 😄
Oh shit you’re local to Great Lakes Dragway? Shiiit. I recognized it the second it cut to the first clip there. I live about 10-15 minutes away and used to go there a lot as a kid.
If I get this W211 I’m looking at later today, I’m buying a key tag lmao. Ya got me.
I have a beautiful e55
Alex are you racing the E55 in dyno mode?
What type of cooler do you have?
Your intro had me like what?!?!!?
Pretty close to a sleeper, how's it do on street tires? Nice jump on that vette.
new england dragway is 60 ft. above sea level. I ran my friend"s 2007 clk63amg cabrio on a 37deg. night in October. Ran an 11.9 at 119. All stock. Tires, everything. Loved that car!! I posted it on dragtimes and some people didnt believe me. Was running faster than a BlackSeries.
I'm surprised you haven't upgraded to facelift W211 tail lights yet
W211 E550
4:57–5:02 sounds like a Car Lost control but he Didn’t crash it
Can you tell me how or what you used the wiper resovoir
For the life of me I can't figure out why he didn't start at the bottom when taking the other side considering that is the spot where most of the burnt rubber builds up anyway
Just bought an '04 E55. 8 grand, 155k miles. Has a bit of a to do list, but it's a fantastic car. Can't wait to get the needs fixed so I can start making it faster.
what handheld device are you using to log IAT ?
From your firtst 4 runs (especially the faster fourth), you're launching with ONE foot. Try to raise the torque by braking hard with your left foot and revving the engine slightly below 3,000 rpms.
How much are the new replacement key fobs for a w211?
Is that into still incorrect? LOL i have an w211 e55 and i agree 🙂
Does legite55 code still working? Couldn’t get it to work.
I got an 04 e55 ////AMG
AMG ENTHUSIASTS ( Please help! ) (Please read all, thank you for any help)…. 04 E55 AMG Mercedes W211 M113 Motor NEED FUEL PUMPS!!!)
And I promise you (for the trolls) I have done ALL of my own mechanic work my entire life. I'm 38 years old and WILL NOT do a hack job on my BEAUTIFUL E55. That being said, all I'm looking for some fellow AMG w211 enthusiasts advice with finding some fuel pumps new, used but in good condition or upgrades within reason $. (Not the inter $module$) Any places, suggestions of a websites, distributors or Anythimg that could help me find 2 new fuel pumps for my beloved E55 would be greatly appreciated. I am out of work and my fuel pumps burnt out. So now I need to replace both pumps and the filter (I've found the filter) but can't find the pumps and this is really killing me, I can't afford the entire fuel pump module / sending unit, so I'm looking for some help, PLEASE, in finding an ANY KIND OF REPLACEMENT like buying ther replacement module set but maybe a little less expensive…. Dose ANYONE know of any direct fitment fuel pumps for an 04 E55 AMG Mercedes? So if ANYONE has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. I have been looking everywhere for some like the Walburo 250s or anything that will fit with a little bit of altered Plumbing, but a direct fitment that sit right down into the factory module would be even better…. just need the pumps 2 and the fuel filter. Thanks for any advice.
