CLS55 vs E55 AMG | Which to Buy? w219 vs w211 (4K) 

Those cars are almost 15 years old and still look perfect. Edit, I have a 08 63, only lowered a bit with the oem 2 piece five spoke split wheels and flush spacers. What. A. Look. Truly one of a kind cars. The original trend setter for the fast back sedan.

I had the E for 3 years. And it scared the shit out of me every day. Unbelievable that it's still getting the special attention that it deserves 15+ years later. Beast.

i remember seeing a cls back in '06 i was like WTF IS THAT??...that design was something special even better than the s class

Always loved the CLS......currently driving (for the last 6 years) CLS63. Awesome car!

Nice video. I went with the CLS55 but both are amazing vehicles. IMO the CLS is one of the most beautiful 4 doors ever designed. I preferred the CLS interior and I have found the stock exhaust note in the CLS to be more aggressive than the E55 and I can run 305's in the back without issue. That said.......no doubt that the E55 has better interior space, especially in the back, has better visibility (CLS A pillars are HUGE and I always have to double check my sight lines) and is more of an evil sleeper, especially the wagon. Either way you can't go wrong. The M113K will go down as one of the best combustion engines. The endless torque always puts a huge smile on my face.

CLS55 is simply the winner

E55 AMG because i love W211!!! ❤️🙏🏼

It's like you know what's in my head and then you upload a video about it

I had the CLS55 and loved every minute of driving it. Had beautiful lines and looked unique compared to any other Benz. At the light id always get people starring into my car since it looked like no other Benz! Also had an exhaust on it which sounded amazing. Still have videos on my channel. Miss it but it was time to move on.

Never really been a fan of the W219's looks up until recently. Then you post a great video about it and now I'm smitten

Cls allday I let the wife have the house and kids but that cls coming with daddy

Bought a CLS 55 after watching this video, always loved E55s but this time I went for the CLS

CLS! currently own one and is one of the most amazing vehicles I've ever owned!

CLS55 is a timeless car. With the right wheels they are absolutely gorgeous. I’ve been looking for a nice example to buy for the last 2 months.

The CLS is by far, at least to me, one of the best designed cars of the 21st century. It still looks stunning today. PS: even although the CLS is a four door it's classed as a coupé and as such it's C219 and not W219 🙂

we really need a cls55 amg video soley for that platform and discussing the 030 package for it and etc. gotta ask the best Amg content guy on youtube

W219 Gang 🤙🏾

CLS 55 all day.

CLS is the Best, what a Design

Love the collection especially the CLS 55 because of the distinct look, but the rest are beautifully done... thanks for sharing this vid.

They are both so badass that you buy which one is in better shape or cheaper or closer to get

Great video as usual! Deciding factor for me was seating for 5 and finding an initially clean enough AMG to buy.

Proud owner of a cls55 amg. I love it the torque the power. The looks the driving experience

I think the CLS looks better but here in Germany the insurance costs for the CLS are double the costs of the E55. So I guess I’ll go for an E55 next year! Can’t wait!

The e55 for me, I'm afraid; a tad more room and a less edgy design. Both are great cars though...

Cls owners like myself know the feeling fun FACT 👻🤓😎🤑💯

I had the W220 AMG for roughly 3 years and i miss it every day. it was every bit as clean as the cars in this video. sadly the hydraulic suspension was too troublesome compared to the air suspension of the W211 and W219. The M113K is a great motor, and I vow to own one of these 2006 AMG sedan models again someday.

As a former CLS55 AMG Owner my opinion is clearly unbiased when saying the CLS is the better car :) Also If you live somewhere with bad roads i.e. New York I'd recommend budgeting for a set of aftermarket rims because those factory 19inch ones will bend and crack constantly.

love the IWC plug... the moment I first found one for sale, I purchased it and first time I ever saw it in person was when it was delivered to my home from Chicago.

i do not have a mercedes but i subbed because i am looking into buying one. i also enjoy your content keep up the good work!!!!

Ich liebe den CLS 55 AMG Best wishes from Germany:*

I own cls 500 and thats the best thing that has ever happened to me. The car gets attention everywhere even though it’s 15 y.o.

Awesome videos man. Super informative and extremely thorough. Very well researched. Thanks a million! Really helpful!

C219... love mine and I hope it stays in my garage for many many years.

Had my CLS 55 for 12 years. Should have kept it. Very special car.

Cls 19" stock wheels on e55, perfection.

Currently have a 2007 cls550 love it !

*the CLS55 LOOKS so much different than any other car on the road.*

Very good review 👍

I've got a W211 E550 and love the classic 'mercedes' look it has - still looks sporty with that classic german look. Whereas CLS is still nice but only really the AMG, the rest look really old IMO.

Excellent comparison video.

Cls really looks timeless. From the back it could look like a 2020 car

I love all your videos but why don’t you talk about the CLK55! Would love to see that as it’s a classic

Im blessed i have a 2006 cls55 amg at 16 years old

An IWC CLS55 was for sale near me quite recently for a really good price and I didn’t buy it because I’m a moron 😅 I did end up with a mint E55 though so I’m not too upset.

Good video, i will be comparing the e55 vs e63 vs cls55 vs cls63 for my next purchase

Got CLS 55 with 63 AMG packaging. It's a bullet! 😍 Now I'm gonna modify a bit to make the rocket 🚀 from this beast! 😍😍

I have a 2010 cls550...absolutely love it!!! Just purchased 76k miles 1 owner.❤

It's weird. When the CLS came out I thought it looked much better than the W211. Now years later I think the W211 has aged better.

Another solid video with a great topic!

Both are beautiful

You also should mention the CLS never had panorama glass roof which was available on E class. Panorama glass roof is absolutely beautiful thing especally on white cars. Also interior of cls is much more luxurious things like leather wrapped center console door panels and dashboard

My next car after all these years 2020 I will get one! It such a timeless car!

Nice video. I would probably go with the CLS55 simply because the 4 door coupe styling is sexy and sporty at the same time.

1:29 lotus esprit one of my dream cars.

I love my 2006 cls55 amg :D

So hard to choose, but I think I’m leaning towards the E55.

Another great video of these excellent AMG machines!

CLS all day long. It will still look good 5 years from now, whereas the E55 looks outdated since 5 years ago

I still have my W219 2009 facelift and for me it's a no brainer. The CLS is still stunning today, even more so than the frankly ugly W218 that replaced it. The issues with headroom are not something that anyone will consider when purchasing one of these. You are not making this your daily driver to take the kids to school. I'm never getting rid of mine and the kids can fight over it when I'm gone as I think they might have appreciated somewhat in value by then. Definitely a future classic.

the j30 was the first to do the sloping roof thing. however benz was the first to do it aggressively.

I own a cls500 with AMG body kit.. definitely a much more crowd pleaser than the e class , its simply better designed , the sloping roof give it an ageless design , the seats looks better and its basically the same mechanically except for the CLS being a bit heavier ..

I believe the reason that design became so popular was the main Designer who developed that body style, actually did bounce to other manufacturers, he went to Audi, Hyundai, Bmw as well.

I have IWC spacial edition Cls55.

Nice lowered look on all 4.

Mercedes design has changed so much, but these still manage to look beautiful to this day

Can you do something about the S55 please?

I like both, great video!

That black CLS is GOALS!

I still have a cls love the body to this day beautiful cars

The style was started by the rover p5 wayyy before the cls. Then a Nissan held the 4 door coupe designation also.

Most beautiful collection 👍👍

Good review bro

The cls is by far the more interesting car

In fact Mercedes model code for the CLS is C219 and not w219 saying they consider it a real 4 door Coupé. I find it's design is timeless.

I love both. I originally sought an E55 and was disappointed I couldn’t find a good one around when I was ready to buy. A dealer introduced me to the CLS55 and I was educated on how they are mostly the same car which is what I ultimately bought a great mint example in factory original condition. I do like that the cls is a more rare and very attractive design however I still want to swipe up an E55 as I feel these are to become really great collector cars.

Great video, thanks the information 👍

I have a CLS 350 cdi it has loads of power, that amg version must go like a rocket.

I’d choose the E55 😉

2 best looking mercedes, i have 2008 e 220cdi avantgarde, and now cls500 2005 booth amazing

I just bought my 4th CLS last week ; I will keep buying them until they take my license away or the designers make a mess out of the car ! One thing I don't like is my 2006 was 190.3 ft. long and the new 2020 are 199.1 ft. long. They are beginning to mess with the car. If people don't like the smaller rear seat then tell them to buy an S-Class !

CLS offcours . However , there is no car more beatifuller than the second gen CLS AMG63s . That's a beast hidden inside a beautyfull lady ... thos stop-lights are just perfect ..

1 month ago I sold my cls55 after 7 years of ownership :( this video makes me miss it...I did however stay with the 4 door coupe design and bought a m6gc

Spanish Banks...beautiful spot, gotta love Vancouver

I have a 2012 cls 63 amg and the car just ages well it still pulls hard the steering is tight and the suspension is holding up well kudos to amg

Cls55 body is sweet..

Just saw an IWC on offer today for 50K €....I guess I'll just go for a mint '06 E55 with full service history for 20K or so...crazy tbh

My cars picture was used at 2:05😂. It’s the presidential edition I think there’s only 12 made, that’s another rare car too along with IWC edition.

CLS wheels pls name!!!

Solution = Both. Buy both. Trust.

the CLS makes me moist instantly. The E class gets a envious double take.

Cls55 still looks so good

Just found ur channel, Binging on your vids

I have an 06 E55 and love the CLS!! They catch my eye everytime I see one drive by. Quick question, the black E55 in the vid, what rims are those and do you know the tire specs? Thanks

That esprit at 1:29 tho 🤤

Class is such a great car, with great features, love mines🤗😍
