The body is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features AMG bodywork including a sculpted front air dam, side skirts, rear apron, and a trunk-mounted lip spoiler.

Braking is handled by eight and four piston AMG calipers which are painted silver with black AMG lettering. The AMG-tuned Airmatic Dual Control air suspension provides adjustable ride height and stiffness.
The AMG-design sport front seats are upholstered in Two-Tone Red Leather (257) with matching rear seats and door cards. Black OEM all season floor mats are fitted and Bird’s Eye Maple wood trim lines the center console, dash and door panels. The seller notes wear on the seat bolsters and some fading on the wood trim.

The digital odometer currently shows just over 163k miles from new and the SRS light is illuminated.
The hand-built M113K 5.4-liter V8 is supercharged and factory rated for 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.

The car ended up selling today to one of my instagram followers. And I got what I wanted for it. It’s no longer available
Sorry you don’t see the value. This isn’t your average E55 and even if it was I wouldn’t take anything less than 12k for it. Good luck finding another
So this car has almost 300k km on odometer and it somehow did not sell for 10k ? That's wild.
Thankyou to all who are interested in my E55. Its still available contact me directly [email protected] keep an eye out for future listings and follow me on YouTube for updates on the car.
Thankyou everybody the bidding is getting intense! I really appreciate you guys and your interest. Hopefully this car will go to good hands and a deserving owner. My efforts have been heavily invested into the vehicle and my blood sweat and tears will be reflected into the quality

@KsMerc Reserve
Is there a reserve price, or is it highest bid?
@Hyelifels Thankyou!
@luckytruck it happens no worries. Thankyou
Great looking E55, very rare and cool color combination and the 65 wheels are the best ones on a W211.
@luckytruck Sorry guys, I got my auctions crossed. I think the s63 coupe was in Woodland Hills. Love the e55 though
Woodland Hills? I used to live in Warner pines then Warner villa!!!!! I would take this in a heartbeat but I’m based in NY now
@KsMerc the srs light is passenger seat weight sensor.
That car is so clean!! It looks new. What's up with the SRS?
