s211 e55k How many on the forum??

[nickjonesn4]

I’d say on the other hand, estate cars are used more as work horses, lugging loads/buggies/shopping and families about etc. The saloons are more of an ‘executive express’

Perhaps as they get older the saloons attract a different crowd, ie tuning etc but that’s just a generalisation I suppose

I've had a washing machine and a tumble dryer in the back of mine to the tip
4 people, roof box and two bikes round europe twice
fine in the snow this weekend on its Yokohama winter tyres

Been down the modding route too,# smaller s/c pulley, remap, headers all done too so it also goes like the clappers and sounds like a 50s F1 car under load

I think the Standard alloy's do look alot better in Anthracite over Silver, It was something i was thinking of doing but one of mine were cracked so i bought a New set of non oe wheels,

Great looking car nickjonesn4 , and Wow what a lovely House pictured too.

Cheers, sadly its not looking quite as tidy now as been victim of a couple of anonymous parking scrapes. Edinburgh is a nightmare for it!

[guyvert1]

Thanks merc85, the wagons do have a certain presence , I love the fact its hidden a 1st glance.

 

[merc85]

Yes I had a chap comment on mine outside my work, he said oh I love the wheels... and it’s even got uprated brakes, is it a 320 lol

I managed to fit 2 chesterfield armchairs in the back of mine a few weeks ago. They fitted, just!

 

[Brucy]

Here’s mine, another silver one! Had it around 4 months - loving the understated presence, until you use the loud peddle of course...

 

[merc85]

They have aged really well imho, I love the Rear 1/4 Angle when looking at them they look wide and purposeful, Lovely Brucy thankyou for the Pic

 

[merc85]

S211 E55 AMG Wagon

Joined the club about a month ago, bought @guyvert1 's wagon. Very pleased so far, phenomenal car! As you all probably know it's a mega-specced machine , and it's decent miles for its age and very good condition. The odd niggle to sort but I'm planning to have it for a long time so plenty of time for that. Already had 2 brand new batteries, the back one was working but wasn't particular strong, so a couple colder starts and it was flagging the convenience functions message, which in turn was bringing the front one into the equation which was totally f**cked (9.4v) , which gave the red dash of doom. Both were '04 stamped batteries so probably not surprising. New Genuine MB one in the rear and a new Varta YTX-14BS in the front, both showing much better voltages and no warnings! Already have a good Optimate charger ready for the winter as I don't do loads of miles.

Also discovered a cracked intake hose so have replaced both of those, and next jobs are working out TPMS & Parktronic issues. Does anyone know if an iCarSoft MBII is good enough to pinpoint the faulty sensors on both systems?

Going to TRAX in a few weeks so hopefully may meet some other wagon owners!


(hopefully my image works, been a while since I used proper forums and the death of photobucket scuppered my previous method!)

Congrats on getting hold of an E55. They are a great car IMO and can still surprise many of todays fast saloons.

The W/S211 always seems power hungry and getting those batteries changes has probably saved you a winter non start.
No idea if a Carsoft MBII can pinpoint the faulty sensors, but you have Mercland and MSL with Star who can.

 

[merc85]

Congratulations on the purchase ninjacj Welcome to the Forum too. Mines still in bits waiting for news on a Driveshaft
