[QUOTE="black99lightnin, post: 15671699, member: 21296"] I don't think anyone has discounted how robust the E55 engine and tranny are. The issues are with airmatic, supercharger pulley, and typical 211 E classes(central gateway). For someone very handy you can do most stuff. Front airmatic is not bad at all. Rear is a PITA as you are supposed to drop the rear subframe. Some people have been lucky to sneak the rear bag in but I've seen many not do it correctly and the bags have gone bad almost instantaneously. I wouldn't be afraid to purchase an E55. A 211 E63 or early 212 E63, I'd stay away from. But I've had clients put a 100K miles and have 0 issues with the 6.2, and others have grenade a motor while still in warranty. Before we bought our CTSV coupe I wanted a Vagon, wife wanted no part of that. [/QUOTE]
