The rare two-piece 19” AMG Cromodora double five-spoke alloy wheels are fitted with a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires measuring 245/35 front and 275/35 rear showing 2024 date codes with new black lug bolts. Tires were installed in October of 2024 at 103k miles. Ventilated disc brakes are fitted on all four corners with 8-piston front calipers and 4-piston rears which are finished in silver with black AMG lettering. Brakes are inspected in the video below and show in like-new condition. The AMG-tuned Airmatic Dual Control suspension offers adjustability for both ride height and stiffness. Lots of maintenance was done in this region of the car including:
The cabin is upholstered in Anthracite Nappa Leather (251) with an alcantara headliner and original black carpet floor mats showing AMG embroidery. Black Birdseye Maple veneer lines the center console, dashboard and door panels and shows no signs of cracking or discoloration. Both front seats are heated and ventilated with three-position memory and feature multicontour seat controls which includes a Dynamic setting which hugs the occupants in turns. Additional interior features include four-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt/telescope steering wheel, COMAND system with audio bluetooth integration, and Harman Kardon Logic7 surround sound. A second new key was bought and programmed at the dealership by the current owner. The headliner was also fixed by the current owner along with a driver side seat switch. Weathertech heavy duty all weather mats are included for the cabin and an additional mat for the trunk. Included in the trunk is a spare with a complete tool kit.
This W211 is powered by a hand-built supercharged 5.4-liter M113K V8 which is factory rated at 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an AMG-enhanced five-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows 48 service records and included in the sale is a folder showing service history going back to 2020. The performance upgrades include a 83mm Nachi supercharger pulley that ups PSI by 2.5 PSI along with a Stage 1 Eurocharge ECU tune which ups the horsepower by 54 and ups the torque by 74 foot-pounds. This upgrade was done by thge third owner. The current owner completed a thorough mechanical and cosmetic refreshment to the car and then spent nearly $5,000 during September 2026 in preparation work to ready this example for auction at a specialty Mercedes-Benz and AMG shop in Atlanta.
The video shows a detailed inspection of the car and a complimentary driving and walkaround video:
We adore all E55 AMGs with the W211 being the heavyweight brute of the bunch. AMG was obsessed with adding super chargers to their engines in this era of car manufacturing of which they called Kompressors. Audi was applying turbos to their hot V8 q-ships while BMW went the motorsports route of high revs and individual throttle bodies. AMG did what they were good at and thuggishly slapped huge superchargers on top of their aging but dead reliable M113s to spice things up as they developed the M156 motor from the ground up for the upcoming E63. Let us tell you, these things are still fast by today’s standards, especially with a small pulley and tune on it like this car has. A tuned E55 is what they should have felt like from the factory. Mercedes-Benz purposely under-tuned these motors to keep them cool and reliable far beyond past 500k miles. In short, they were very overbuilt and take to ECU flashes and small pulleys very well and is safe for the motor and its reliability. The seller shows several pulls in the video and the car has legs. This being a 2006 is the most desirable as it was the last year for the E55 which got the nice COMAND, mechanical revisions, and the 200-mph speedometer — which these need once the limiter is removed. This is a 200 mile per hour car as it sits. The Chromodora wheels are a huge upgrade (also expensive and collectable, mind you) and look sinister with the black paintwork. Stuttgart Steel then combed over what is arguably one of then nicer W211s we’ve seen and dialed this thing in. The owner has spent a ton of money on the car getting it up to his high standards and it shows. All of the problem areas on the M113K powered W211 are taken care of. Rear main seal: check. Air suspension: check. Ignition service and CPS: check. Headliner: check. Suspension, fluid, and brakes: check! This is kind of the perfect E55 AMG if you’re looking for one.

With just an hour and a half left, I wanted to point out a few things about this E55: - Over $15k in maintenance performed under the current ownership - Paint correction and 5 year ceramic coating - Super rare Cromodora wheels with new Continental tires - Recent suspension refresh - Rear main seal just done in preparation for the auction - New spark plugs and valve cover reseal - Garage kept and smoker free - Unusually nice interior for a W211 - Bluetooth integration in the factory COMAND system - Last year M113K E55 AMG which is the most desireable We put a fine toothed comb over this car prior to listing it and I loved working with the current owner to dial in his last year E55 AMG in. He is someone you want to buy a car from. This is a really nice example that drives extremely well and I'm so happy to have this on my profile. Happy bidding!$16,750 bid placed by @Bigjai

@seller thank you! Very informative and quick response. Will watch in the final hours and may bid, this came up at the last minute for me so we'll see.$13,500 bid placed by @Bigjai
@elementex 1: Both were replaced with 2 struts, I know the invoice said 1 but there was 2. I can confirm both struts were new when we had it up in the air since I always check for air suspension issues since I've dealt with them on my personal cars in the past. The suspension works as designed and I show it raise and lower in my video and it firms up when you put it in "sport." These drive terribly when Airmatic has an issue and is immediately noticeable. 2: They were actually OEM rear airbags. The owner saw them because he had ordered the wrong bag and then the shop had to get them overnight for the Mercedes dealer. I made a mistake identifying them as Arnott since the dust covers looked just like an Arnott (the plastic has a particular look to them. Maybe Arnott uses OEM dust covers on their products?). I've had the car paarked and not started for a week here at the shop and it does not sag. Shows the valve body is also healthy. 3: We have no documentation but the owner has always use 93 octane, as you should with an M113. This was a verbal confirmation of the tune between the old owner and new owner at time of the sale. I can also confirm by just how quick the car feels as I've mostly driven stock E55s. The Eurocharge website for the stage 1 does not mention a specific octane usage for the tune. It seems it would be fine on 91. 4: The recent September invoices are in the gallery at the bottom. We have actually tripled checked the RMS repair since we did it since they can be fickle and it remains dry. We also had a third party PPI on the car from another bidder and the shop that did the inspection confirmed no oil leakage. 5: The owner backed into a concrete pylon in a parking garage, barely hitting it but knocked the bumper slightly off. The body shop reattached replacing the clips. No paintwork. Cost was under $275. 6: No intermittent faults. We filled the tank up and no smells. Fuel filter was replaced for maintenance reasons. We did scan the car with our MB diagnostic tool as part of our own in house PPI to make sure cars are Stuttgart Steel caliber and didn't see anything out of the ordinary or we would have flagged it.@elementex I'm heading into the office right now and I'll get you a detailed response here in about an hour or so.$13,250 bid placed by @Erb123
@seller a few last min questions if I may (sorry I just learned of this listing) 1. If I'm reading it right the June 2022 invoice says that the left front strut, while the listing mentions both fronts. Do you know when the right front were replaced, and what brand/model are currently installed now? Does adaptive damping function normally? 2. The October 2025 invoice shows genuine Mercedes rear air springs, while the YT vid mentions Arnott. Which is it? Does the car maintain its height after sitting several days? I assume it does but want to clarify the which are installed. 3. Is there any documentation identifying the Eurocharged tune, its minimum required fuel octane, and compatibility with the current pulley? Does the 83 mm measurement refer to the pulley’s belt-contact diameter? 4. I might have missed it in the docs, but could you upload the completed September 2026 repair invoice (unless its there, let me know)? Were both front thrust arms replaced, and has the rear-main-seal repair remained dry since completion? 5. The January 2024 service note mentions a garage post incident affecting the driver’s rear bumper and quarter panel. Was any quarter panel repair or refinishing performed, or was the work limited to the bumper and clips? Is the history of the notch under the front bumper known? 6. Longshot here but is there an existing Mercedes diagnostic scan available, could you share it? Are there any current warning messages, intermittent faults, fluid leaks, or fuel odors after filling the tank (still spooked by that haha)? Thank you!New to MB Market, and have owned 3x E55, the last one an 06 which I deeply regret ever selling (I got spooked after the water pump / fuel tank fiasco). Regarding that pesky water pump and fuel tank, was that ever taken care of under the 15 yr extended warranty that Mercedes stretched it to? Also, yes those wheels are amazing but for some reason I prefer them much more on the SL. That said, they are valuable and if I were the new owner I could sell them, replace with stock and keep some cash, perhaps. The only other thing I'd do is go back to the classic grill, but as mentioned, can get those from Mercedes. This is a beauty, will be watching.As we enter the final 24 hours, I just wanted to check in with everyone. Thank you for the interaction so far and all of the DMs as well. All of the phone calls I've had with bidders have been lovely along with the in person showings.$13,000 bid placed by @Bigjai

@MLDMOTORWERKS Thanks for the comment! The grill is aftermarket. You can still order original grills from the dealer if you ever wanted to convert it. It's a 10 minute job to swap them out. The receipt from Tint World had a disclaimer about the removal that they weren’t responsible if the rear windshield was damaged in the removal process. This was a generic statement for any car. The rear glass is in excellent shape. As for the tint, the owner had it removed because it was too dark to pass North Carolina state inspection. He then had it new tint applied at 35% except the windshield. The car just comes on the Cromodora wheels. Let me know if you need anything else from me!Are the factory wheels included? Is the black grill the original but coated/painted or is it an aftermarket? Receipts mention tint removal and possible damage to the rear defroster. Is there any de-lamination of the defroster lines I guess you would call it on that rear window? Thanks$11,250 bid placed by @texdot88

I did go in and measure the supercharger pulley and it is a 83mm Nachi bearing. These are OE suppliers, made in Japan, and this smaller pulley adds 2.5 PSI of boost to the kompressor.$10,250 bid placed by @Kfuller

The MB Market added two additional photos showing the OEM supercharger pulley and the removed phone holder from the center console. We also removed the CTEK battery tender from the trunk picture post photoshoot since the car does not come with one. Let me know if you guys need anything else from me! I'm around all week to show the car in person if needed. Thanks!$8,000 bid placed by @DawsonOrangecounty

Okay, this is an exciting one. I'm a huge E55 fan and love the W211 chassis. I helped prepare the last one on The MB Market for Gas Motorcars and then I was reached out to by a lovely enthusiast to help dial in and sell this 2006 E55 AMG under Stuttgart Steel with my complete control over the project. Let me tell you, this is the kind of owner you want to buy a car from. He has enjoyed this car for the last five or so years and spent both time and money making it right. The car was maintained and set up as if I was the owner, so I jumped at the opportunity to help find the car its next owner under my profile on The MB Market. We had it shipped to our warehouse and my brother, a long term AMG technician, inspected the car. We found a few things that needed taken care of (thrust arms, rear main seal, shifter bushings, normal W211 M113K stuff) that we fixed but we were impressed by how nice the car was underneath and up top. The owner also gave us a small check list of items to take care of like PDR and returning some things to stock that made it more marketable. We were both enamored by how the car sat on the ultra rare 19" Cromodora wheels. The painted centers look menacing with the 040 paintwork. It's the perfect pre-facelift wheel on an E55 AMG and very valuable at that. Nature was kind to me on photo day with one of the more amazing sunsets I've seen this summer. The car just looks stunning and it really does drive and feel like a car with half the miles. The interior is honestly one of the highlights as the Nappa leather was carefully sat in and still has is natural satin sheen, the wood saw very little UV, the Alcantara head liner has recently been redone, it has Bluetooth built into the original COMAND, and it smells eerily similar to the 24k mile car I helped prep for market back in early August. This is a remarkable example and the car was obviously garage kept. I want to note that the phone holder on the center console was safely removed post photoshoot and I have a picture I'll upload here showing it was removed without any issue. I made a very thorough listing on this car to showcase its condition. I also added a long video for serious buyers to watch. I also have a high resolution Google Drive of the pictures that you can blow up and zoom in on since these are compressed (my files sizes are huge from my camera): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oTj76BJ8ue9zlAMbmkWaFNee4Cl87n9r?usp=sharing I am available for in-person showings as well! I am attached to The MB Market's newly acquired HQ in Marietta, Georgia where the car is stored indoors at my Mercedes centered shop. Please let me know if you all need any more pictures or videos. I'm available for phone calls and Facetime as well. You can comment, PM me, or reach out to me via email at [email protected]. Thank you and happy bidding!
