For a while, the Mercedes-Benz W211 series, especially the AMG55 or 63 version, was one of my favorite vehicles, and the then 476PS strong E55 AMG only had to admit defeat to my E39 M5 because of the higher price. I have always liked the simple design in connection with the hammer-hard V8 compressor power on request and in the back of my mind there was always the thought of what you could get out of it Tease out V8 can. Well, it shouldn't be and the E39 M5 was anything but boring. The owner of this Mercedes-Benz W211 has at least partially fulfilled my dream at the time. He modified his E-Class in such a way that even the connoisseur has to look twice to see that it is “not” an AMG model. Something like this usually only works if the vehicle has not been refined by a special tuning company (tuner) but by a private tuning screwdriver who has a vision in mind. Of course, there is at least one workshop in the background that made the changes for this vehicle too, that's clear! But it is not a standard project that has been given the same accessory manufacturer from the rim to the rear spoiler. On the contrary, with this E-Class parts from a wide variety of suppliers (Mercedes, Carlsson etc.) were installed and that ensures that in the end a car is in front of us that is unique and with such individual tuning is certainly not to be found a second time .
Personally, I like such conversions best because the owners can let their thoughts run free with such projects and often their own work can be found on the body or the interior. Which tuner is still doing the work today and gets an expensive AMG body kit and screws it precisely onto the car? More and more often the choice falls on some pseudo-replicas made of GRP which will never achieve the style and of course the quality of a high-quality body kit. This is particularly noticeable with this E-Class because the car reflects the personal touch of the owner down to the last detail and looks simply high-quality when viewed from every side! We already know a few details about the modifications to the W211. What we have learned we have listed below for you in a summary.
Ps. If you want to see even more vehicles made from predominantly privately made hand look into ours Selfmade category!
