Anyone know if the 'Sport' setting on the W/S211 does anything with engine power or is it just gearbox change settings and/or throttle response?
Wasn't sure if it was similar to the BMW 'M' button on most of their M cars that turns the engine up to max output?
Hi all. I'm thinking of changing my 2004 E55 with 80k for a 2008 S65 with 97k. There isn't much info out there on the s65, I am possibly going to do the deal depending on my findings. Obviously I know it's not a cheap car to maintain however does anyone know of any common faults and general...
Just got my EVO through and see a nice little piece mentioning the E55k again as a great 2nd bargain motor.
Glenn is in it from Turnbull & Oliver so good little bit of advertising there. Good work Glenn/Olly
It looks very simple, if a bit fiddly due to the restricted space.
Remove the supercharger belt, relieve the tension on the serpentine belt tensioner, pin in to hold it like that, unscrew the central star bolt, remove central star bolt and pulley, reinstall bolt with new pulley (25nm...

Hello,
I have decided to sell my 2003 53 plate E55k.
It has done 106k miles and is in excellent condition. When I bought it I took it to terry at Wayne gates and spent about £900 on it. Earlier this year all wheels were refurbished, it has 4 matching michelins, and apart from a broken...
Well I bought E55BOF's e55 amg estate. Very happy with it! Since buying it from him on Wednesday I've driven from beaconsfield to Cornwall, then a return journey to Dartmouth naval college. It's great having that power back as I've been missing it since the last one in 2013.
Plans for this car...
I've been using LED units for a while now.
One has gone so I need to replace.
However, as they get more powerful, they have become out of sync with the xenons and I don't like the imbalance.
The side lights look too bright and too blue.
Is there a more powerful whiter halogen bulb...
After three months of soul searching, I'm putting my E55K estate up for sale and asking £7,500 due to mileage.
Key details below, I am still struggling to get decent photos of the interior and am somewhat disappointed with photos of the exterior - I don't think the poor light levels here...
Having owned my 2004 E55k for a few years now I want to start on a positive and say that as a main dealer Hughes in Aylesbury Bucks were superb in looking after my car during the time I had it in the UK they see a lot of AMG models go through there and I would have no hesitation in recommending...
Ever since I bought mine, I've been under the impression it didn't have one fitted, and I've not fitted one.
However, thinking back, when I first got through a set of budget rears - I lit them up. Turning off ESP - I was able to leave a large 11.
A post on here not so long ago made me...
