My brother had one earlier this year with 270,000 miles that is still going and we just picked up another with 175,000, great cars

As a happy C55 owner, i all ready answered that question. I chose the C55 for its general look, outside and inside, the smoothness of the V8, the rarety and the story of the car (it's fun to know that AMG decided to put the V8 under the hood when Mercedes told them it was not possible to do it). Now, if you don't intend to keep it stock, go for C32 ! Hello from France 👋

This channel is perfect

New subscriber love your channel. Wish I would’ve found your channel earlier, I looked in a long time to finally find & purchase my dream car 2005 SL 55, AMG mocha espresso, designo package, my opinion is the M113k is one of the best engines ever made,?, Bullet proof, and all the AMG vehicles with the M 113k truly, the best bang for the buck, as a retired mechanic a pleasure to work on.

I own a 2002 c32 for over 7 years now with 118k miles and if I take apart my fault to keep some excellent maintenance and only a very good maintenance I have to say that c32 I love it because is w203 body with a beast underneath and love as well the small body for city driving,no mods only stock,I thinking to do some lifting but I respect the car to much to do something to it until now Thank you for your videos

I love my 03 C32. and other then a sc pulley bearing replacement ( which wasn't that hard ), it has been bullet proof in the three plus years I have owned it.

Ditto. I have had my 2003 C32 now for over 16 years and even after putting 130k miles on it (19k when I acquired it from the 1st owner) and many track days, everything works perfectly! Everything. In fact, very little signs of wear and still in nearly-new condition. As you said, it has been absolutely "bulletproof".

I have had E63 2007 family wagon. It was cool car. Now I'm considering about 2007 CLS 63 or E63 sedan. But the C55 sounds interesting also

Definitely the C55, V8 naturally aspirated is so nice. Planning to buy one soon 😊

currently have a 02 clk55 and 01 ml55, 04 crossfire and 01 slk230, used to have a 04 cl55 and 01 c240

Currently own a 2003 C32 AMG bolt on mods and tuned. Previously ran nitrous but it got scary so it had to go. I have owned quite a few AMGs but the w220 S65 and the CLS 55 are prolly my favorites. Awesome content keep up the good work👍

I have a 2011 C63 Amg w204 I’m looking to buy a Cls 55 too this summer

Hello mate, thank you for that interesting video you've made. I just found your channel because I'm doing some research because I do wanna buy a W203 C32 or a C55, ideally a Station wagon. After your video I immediately subscribed and gave this video a like. And now I will watch a few of your other videos. But one question I do have: It seems (again, I only saw this video) that you do own a W203 C55, a W210 E50 (or E55) and a W211 E55. Am I right with the model names? Overall, which car is your most favorite car and why? Again, thanks a lot and very kind regards from Germany, Philipp

The c32 suspension is much more comfortable than the c55. The c55 lapped Nurburgring 21 seconds quicker than the c32 Amg with similar power. The main difference is the handling. I've changed my c32 suspension for c55 suspension. Car feels a lot more like a bmw now. Actually handles.

Bald Man, I have a convertible mustang GT, I plan to mod for autocross and maybe throw a S/C on, and a reliable Lexus LS, for a daily I park the convertible for the winter, the C32 appeals to me a bit more as it could be my inbetween car that maybe I take out during the warmer days in the winter and toy around with maybe throwing a pulley or a few other bolt-ons to make the C32 a little more aggressive? Yes I know I don't need another car.

Boosted m112k with stacked pulleys V8 killer

Great summary. I’ve driven both. C55 is far more fun to drive than c32 imho

Owned a W202 C36 Sedan, a W202 C43 Wagon, a W203 C55 Sedan, and a W204 C63 Sedan

Looking to buy an 02 c32. I’m mechanically inclined, I’ve got a 02 CLK 320 and an 09 e63 and would like something that has an aftermarket to build

I have a SLK32 and a C55 (so not really a C32, but same engine).... so far, SLK32 is a LOT MORE reliable... C55 is a lot smoother to drive, but the 32 engine has a more "brutal" delivery...

got a c32 ...had it for long time and left it set for couple years...put a battery in and boom started no worries ....just need to put auxillary water pump cooler and it will be all good

So basically i should just go for the E55 s/w211 right away?

Have you ever had a problem with the secondary air intake pump? I keep getting the engine light coming on and it is only supposed to be for start-up to blow into the cats. I can’t remember the exact code but I think it is P0140 or something like that. C32

@Łukasz Kosteczko I would say the C55 as it has higher reliability though it will likely cost more to obtain up front. If you have a lower budget then the C32 is a great option and is easily upgradable. Both are really great first AMG cars.

I have a 2003 w203 c240 4matic . Not to bad and basically the same as the c32 except not supercharged or amg anything stock. So I understand my car just a bit nicer. Or a beautiful c55 and all tge fun that comes with a big boy benz lol. I chose the s550 lol. I'm not messing around with an old amg car. I already spend way to much on my 240 lol. Imagine a c55 .. yikes .. Beautiful car though. I'm getting a 2009 s550. Or a sl600.. I'll risk the price on a 95 sl600 v12 .. dream cars.

I'm residing in Thailand. Planning to buy a C32 which is around 14-15k USD here compare to 25-30k for a c55. I've heard 2002 C32 have common issues with radiator and intercooler pumps. Is it true? If I buy one which parts should I replace to have an everyday car? Do you think will it be a good daily drive in Thailand's hot and humid weather? Thanks

@user-qk7tp3wk9f

Hi there the main issue is the radiator and leaks into the auto transmission. When you buy one just change the radiator unless there is a receipt to say it has been done. Then have your trans oil tested to see if anything leaked in. The intercooler pump will just cause the car to go limp mode until it cools down. I've changed mine to the updated Bosch pump and haven't had to change it since. Been 5 years now.

C55 sounds and looks so much better but honestly its not worth double the price
