This 2004 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG was originally delivered to Beshoff Motorcars of San Jose, California and displays 50k miles since new. Finished in Tectite Grey Metallic (753) over Black (251) leather, power is provided by a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Features include original 18” AMG wheels, COMAND with navigation, automatic climate control, a power-operated Panoramic Sunroof with Solar Panels, Xenon headlights, and push-button ignition. Recent services include an oil change, front suspension refresh, and new front tires. This E55 AMG is offered on consignment by the selling dealer and is now offered with the two key fobs, manufacturer’s literature, recent service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.
The body is finished in Tectite Grey Metallic (753) and features AMG-specific body work including sculpted bumpers, side skirts, and quad exhaust outlets. Exterior features include a power-operated panoramic glass sunroof with Solar, Xenon headlamps, and halogen fog lamps. The headlights remain clear and detailed pictures of the paint can be seen in the gallery below. Parking sensors have been added to the rear bumper under previous ownership and the factory blue-tinted glass remains for all windows. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery below.
The car wears original 18” AMG split-five spoke wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires showing 2022 date codes up front and 2018 in the rear. The wheels measure 18x8 up front and 18x9 in the rear with tires measuring 245/40 and 265/35 respectively. Silver painted AMG-branded multi-piston calipers and cross-drilled rotors provide braking at all four corners.
The cabin is upholstered in Black Leather (251) with matching carpets and Mercedes-Benz-branded OEM floor mats. Black Birdseye maple trim adorns the dashboard, center console, and door panels. The leather seating and door surfaces show very well with little to no wear throughout the cabin. The front seats are heated with memory function and 4-zone climate control is available throughout the car. Additional amenities include COMAND with navigation, a CD player, aluminum pedals, an alcantara headliner and power-closing trunk.
The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel frames aluminum AMG instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and a multi-function display. The digital odometer has just under 50k miles, approximately 5k of which were added by the current owner.
The 5.4-liter M113 V8 comes supercharged from the factory and produced 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine was hand-assembled at the AMG facility in Affalterbach, Germany, and the engine builder’s name is displayed on the center plaque. Recent services include an oil change, front suspension refresh, and new front tires.
The Carfax report shows a clean history and 23 service history records. This E55 AMG is offered on consignment by the selling dealer and is now offered with the two key fobs, manufacturer’s literature, recent service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.
The W211 E55 AMG became more than just a worthy successor of the W210. It helped define the direction of modern performance luxury sedans. Perhaps the most notable feature was the addition of the supercharger to the already legendary M113 engine. For anyone who has not yet experienced the thrill of driving a M113k-powered AMG, it’s an experience that becomes addicting with locomotive power as the supercharger whines. While W211 E55 AMG’s aren’t exactly rare in this market, OEM examples with no engine or performance modifications (only these highly modifiable platforms) are difficult to find in the daily-driver price range. These cars continue to feel as solid as the day they were built and are sure to engage drivers for another two decades.

I had a blast photographing this car for the site. It’s absurdly clean with cool options. My brother, who is a Mercedes technician, serviced this car during its current ownership and was drooling over it whenever it came in for service. Bid with confidence on this example.

@mbmikema No lighting, just an audible beep in reverse. Thanks!
@GASMotorcars Yes but where is the lighting to show when approaching an object?
@mbmikema on the rear bumper where stock would be.
Where is the aftermarket parking sensors installed? Meaning where is the lighting to show that you are approaching an object
Thanks all for the good questions and compliments on this E55. We're available for the next 40 minutes if anyone has any lingering questions. Good luck to al!

@Dashinator Thanks for the catch- made that change for you.
Listing says 200 on the speedometer but i only see 160?
$18,000 bid placed by @2senuf4it
@Dchesrown Good questions. No, we don't have any additional fees. Re a warranty, we don't have additional coverage available due to the age of the car. Thanks
Since you are a delership are there any additional fees? Is there an extended warranty available?
@OnTheHunt Thanks for asking. The glass up front is a Pilkington unit in blue tint. The solar panel does function and the roof operates as intended. Regarding the current owners reasons for selling, we'd be happy to discuss via PM or call. Thanks!
Was an Orem windshield used for the replacement or was it aftermarket. Also curious as to why the current owner is selling so soon and does the solar panel function work as it should. Thank you.
A video showing a walk around and driving functions has been added.

Very nice. Watching this one.
Drove this a few days ago and I can say it is immaculate! The paint is pristine, interior looks new and drives smooth as clarified butter! Wish I could get my numbers together to purchase it then but whoever ends up getting this...is getting a beauty! -- Yousef
Thanks for taking a look at this 2004 E55 AMG, we're pleased to have the opportunity to offer this example. Notable rare features include the Tectite paint, solar roof, and push-button start. Additionally, this example remains adult-owned and cared for with little to no wear inside or out. As the auction continues, we'll get some videos up once the rain passes in Georgia. Please let us know if there are questions along the way.
Nice Whip!!
