AMG W211 vs W212 | The Final Showdown

I would love to hear the sound inside the cabin of your 212… mine creaks and squeaks at every bump

cool

For me the W212 facelift is the one that looks better

I go for w211

owning a e55 for jus a day now lol. amazing on the highway, definitely could have better handling especially in the front end

W220???!!


I'll get me coat.

All these look better than the latest E.

From 2003-2009 Is wild for the w11

W212 is better in every way hands down. And if it wasn't you would still have the 211 haha

212 has that squarish/boxy shape - the best design after W124. W212 styling will age like a fine wine.

Such a stupid title! Almost as good as “Which bear is best?”

I don’t know how you feel guys
about seats but i love that fact that w211 has those wide, meaty leather seats
Just by the looks you can tell that the leather in w211 is way thicker and durable than on w212

I like the shot of the w211 "no messages" flexin

I see a lot of people saying the 211 quality was much better than the 212. That is false. I have owned 2 211s and 3 212s. All were 63s. The 212s were a lot more reliable, and had more quality than the 211s. The 211s were terrible. (Not powertrain wise) i loved the powertrain on both. But the bodies on the 211 was complete crap

Can you do a video on the 2008 SL and 2014 and 2017 to hear what you say about them.

211 намного лучше и надежнее, однако 212 тоже неплох, но по механике, надежности, комфорту салона, качеству материала, 211 давно же обогнал 212. 212 только более современный, и на мой субъективный взгляд, это все.

What’s the les pain year to get 550? From 2011 to 2014 thx

Both beautifull

The w212 is by far a better car all around and it is more reliable the facelift was a game changer the best and most expensive facelift I love the angular sharp edges of the w212.

I can't believe you sold the E55 😢😢

Never ever seen or heard you talk about the CLK 55 AMG w208

The 5.5 biturbo such an underrated engine.. the facelift w212 e63 an underrated car to

Mercedes just about throw an AMG badge on anything they make in these days, it used to signify a quality vehicle, now it means virtually nothing !

W210 ❤

Thank you!!!

really enjoy your reviews please continue giving us more

The w211 is the first Genuine Sleeper Sedan that Super Cars Feared✅

M157 is the best hands down i I own all of them

Sad to see your E55 sold 😞. I still have mine. As always, love your videos.

Can somebody please buy me a W212 please 😢 I just love this car

I always have a soft spot for w211 simply because it's appearance in MIB movie

W211 63👍😁

can someone tell me please whats the best height from the ground for front and rear in S211 SPORT (18 inch wheels original fit).Have to switch ring on shock absorber to lower it but still so its not going to scratch the wheel arch.

Mercedes-Benz

My ideal combination would be the transmission and dynamics of the 212 with the engine and styling of the 211 E55. The exterior and interior styling of the 212 just feels dated and screams “Chrysler” to me for some reason, but the 211 has stood the test of time and remains very classy and understated.

w212

Love your videos AMG Meister!

It is as you say. It basically comes down to what you prefer.
Me personally think that the M113K sounds better than the M156. The reason being that i love the more deep old school rumble from the M113K than the higher and more snarly M156.

That said I do have the CLS 55AMG and not the 211 and I know that exhoust sounds better.

I would love to see a sound comparrison between the E55 vs CLS55.

Keep making these awesome videos🤩🤩

M113 all day no head bolt issues

Thanks again

S55 amg is the one for me!

Jdm s211 e55 incoming ? :)

Must be one of the cleanest W211's on the planet! Love it!

Sorry but you cannot say W212 feels better build quality and more premium than a W211 that would be a lie, M156 with head bolts rusting, cam lifters, cam adjuster plates etc? And 7 speed was better but also had 3 different control module generations with first 2 being most problematic. Given budget it took to develop W211 platform in general, it was the last big budget (1.7 billion) build after W140 1 Billion euro mark. I have seen aging W212 and all the updated plastic interior will suffer with time a lot more than W211s.

Personally if I had a CLK63 with same engine, E63 with same M156 would be redundant, I would have kept E55 or gotten a Biturbo version for more power/acceleration etc.

Maybe cls55 or cl55? Ultimate 113k would be clk dtm

I used to dislike the W212 a lot when it came out but it grew on me so much it's my favorite E-Class now and one my favorite Mercs, and specifically the pre-facelift.

Love your videos Meister. I have a W212 M157 (late 2011) which I purchased here in Oz 4 years ago for near the same price as a W211. While I prefer the looks of the W211, the concern was the head bolt issue with the M156. I picked mine up for what thought was a steal at the time with only 56,000km, it had been custom tuned and had the middle mufflers cut out. The sound from the exhaust is simply glorious and puts a smile on my face whenever I light it up. My only complaints are the old tech, that Mercedes don’t update the software _ hence the on line services don’t work and a creak I get from flexing in the panoramic roof that seems to be a problem with the W212. Love your work Meister, keep it up 👏👏.

W211 is one of three best-looking E-Class generations (W123, W124, and W211) in my opinion. The W211 E 55 AMG was the game changer for Mercedes-Benz that led to the second "horsepower war" and new golden age for automobiles in early-2000s and continued for a decade or so. (1960s was more or less the first one with American and Australian cars pushing each other to the limit).

It’s not even close the W212 is the better car all around. The body styling alone is enough and I love the W211.

Everyone has their preferences. But for me it's the 6.2L for me. As an owner of a 2014 C63. I love it. Would love to have a 4 door version with that motor. But just my preference. They're all amazing machine's. Each one definitely has something the other's don't.

What was the odometer reading on your e55 when you sold it
