DESIGNO E55AMG W211 Wanted

[Sam87]

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to find a Designo E55AMG W211 model for a few years now but it seems like they are quite rare.

A forum member has one and I've tried to contact him many times but I have never gotten a reply. He has one in the colour combo that I want.

This is exactly like the one he has and what I'm after.





If anyone has one and is considering to sell, please let me know.

Another colour I would consider is red

Thank you

Hi,

Still looking for one of this.

@minty63 owns an e55 like the one above but he's never responded to any of my pm's. Does anyone know him personally?

How come when I try to tag him his username doesn't come up?

He was last on this forum in March 2022. I think the colour you are looking for is mystic blue, if it helps with your search.

Thanks Mike
I believe the colour on this E55 is called Designo chromaflair.
There's a mystic blue E55AMG for sale currently and I do like that colour also but the mileage is a bit too high

Chromaflair is one of my favourite colours! Difficult to photograph, as are most designo colours. As you say, incredibly rare, good luck with the search.

Oooooh, do you have a link?

Presumably not the £9k Tanzanite E55 for sale on 142k? 7k miles a year is pretty normal for a 20 year old AMG

Amazing spec on this one, punchy on price though

 

[ALFAitalia]

Just a bit!

True.
From what I've read the 55k versions I'm more reliable, torquier and a hell of a lot cheaper

I thought I saw that E55 somewhere. Its been to MSL and puts down a healthy figure too

No only does it produce more torque it does it a literally half the revs......

Sorry I messed up, its not mystic blue, it's the one that @MikeInWimbledon posted

This is the one! I think if the colour was a bit lighter, it would have looked better.
I know the owner of this blue one. Every time I see him, I ask if he's ready to sell but the answer is always no




Recently I saw this Designo E55AMG that was up for sale and I would have gone for it if the mileage was lower... It has over 160k



Another rare colour E55AMG was up for sale but I think it had problem with the engine and it needed quite a bit of work. I do like the colour on this

I saw this and it does look stunning! I think it's sold now as the advert is gone.

I love the engine on the E55 and you can get more power from them easily. Looks wise I prefer the facelift model so if I ever find an E55 that I like, I might end up doing a facelift conversion

 

[ALFAitalia]

So much nicer looking than all the black and silver one you see everywhere!!!

If only I could get one! I'd try my best to make it look even better

Good luck with the search.

I love the designo colours but...

The one thing I'd add to your "mix" is that the Designo Mystic Blue that I had was a fragile paint that was susceptible to stone chips, revealing the white undercoat. Now, paint's well beyond my pay grade, but if you can find a .. very rare...designo paint car, you might want to look at stone chips on it carefully. If you're as OCD as I am, it'll do your head in.

The mainstream 'normal" paints are much easier to live with. And cheaper to buy than Designo, which always goes at a premium.

Thank you Mike!
Ah, that's good to know..... I guess one way to protect it to ppf the front end, that's if it doesn't have stone chips already

Have to be quick, before it goes.
