Before I bought my beloved w210, I was looking at the 740i Sport Bimmer and D2 Audi S8. If you are also looking at these, stop now. There is no comparison. The W210 is the most capable, dependable and FUN car of them all. I have owned mine for 6 months now and can honestly say it is the best car I have owned. It is very comfortable (although the Audi seats have the edge), clearly built for cruising an autobahn at 100mph all day long. This thing just chews up the miles effortlessly. I get between 17-21mpg in mixed city/moderate highway commute. Not too bad considering the Saturn 5 rocket performance that lurks beneath.
Amazing

I have owned Volkswagens, Porsche, BMW, and a 2011 CTS-V Coupe. I stumbled across this 2002 E55 AMG by accident and drove it for the heck of it. Although it needed tires, shocks, and rim reconditioning, I was impressed by the performance, looks, and (now) the ride. This is by a long shot the best built, fun to drive, fastest accelerating car I have ever owned. I constantly confuse so many people by the sleeper look of this car as I leave them far far behind me. I bought this car 10 years old and it is in better condition still than the 2011 CTS-V I bought last year (Which was sold). I cant imagine driving anything but an AMG EVER AGAIN.
One of the Best Cars

Truly amazing to drive and power is unbelievable. Reliability is simply amazing. I was very pleased to own it and would never want to sell it. It has everything from spacious interior to brutal power to smooth gearing to executive and humble looks. I don't think there would be a better car with so many features in this price and Yes, reliability is a dream come true.
Best 4 door Sedan Ever!!!!!!

Pay attention to key maintenance issues found on the internet: Transmission flushed history (the fluid IS NOT LIFETIME), crank and Cam sensors, Mass Airflow Sensor, and plugs and O2 sensors. These are actually easy to DIY if you are experienced in wrenching cars. Just have patience. An awesome fact about these is that it has a non-aspirated engine and the suspension is "öld School": no air, oleo, or electric suspension that costs $$$$$$ when they break down. They do eat front tires if you drive them to their potential. I've had many long, 1000+ mile trips in mine with absolute comfort and "performance" when needed..:) First a disclosure...I owned over 8 BMW's before I got the E55. Love the BMW's for their sharp suspension and looks. Still my favorite brand. But as I got smarter (e.g., Older), I needed more comfort in the front and room in the rear seat (especially for the Gkids' child seats). I was very lucky to get my 2000 E55. This is the last of the true AMG's from Affalterbach before MB turned AMG into a brand, not a car built by performance-minded super engineers. So if you want a classic with muscle car + performance (mine has close to 400 ft/lbs of torque... minor chip mod...:)) and stealth looks with superb German engineering, this is your car!

Got this after selling my classic car which was a occasional driver and got lots of thumbs up . But this car has it all I loved the body style and the power is equal or better than my Big Block classic with all the creature comforts and almost 3 time's the gas milage . The only problem is this car is so much fun to drive I let the others sit in the garage,
