SOLD 2004 E55 estate S211 RY53 AWX 5.5 litre supercharged engine : 476bhp SOLD
Bought at 117000 miles August 2015 and now showing 157100 miles
3 previous owners
This is a great car, one of the best I’ve had. It’s quick, huge and has been very easy to live with.
They have an excellent spec anyway but the main options are the, always popular, boot bench seat to make it a 7 seater, the cooled seats, which although whilst they do operate they don’t do much and dynamic seats. This means the bolsters inflate as you corner as well as a massaging option.
Duo tone seats in blue and black which are in excellent condition and everything works including the rising parcel shelf.
Viseoo Bluetooth phone connectivity in the centre console.
Refurbed headlights and the bodywork is generally in excellent condition. I replaced the chrome load area trim as it was a bit bashed and the protective blue film is still there.
Tyres are Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5 on the rear with 5.5 mm tread and Pirelli P-Zeros on the front with 4.5 mm.
In the last 5 years it’s been looked after by a local, ex MB Swindon tech who is excellent. It doesn’t seem that it has needed much beyond routine service and maintenance but there have been a few things.
This year it’s had a considerable amount spent and should now be ready for a good few years service.
MOT – 19/09/2023
Prior to my ownership it was serviced at MB Chelsea and Startech in Chessington.

Bad bits – front passenger park sensors don’t like getting wet and show a fault at times. There are a few marks on the headlining that my local car trimmer said I should leave alone. Some stone chips commensurate with age.
Fuel consumption is up to 25mpg on a run, 18 or so around town and 9 around Longleat safari park.
This isn’t a super low mileage garage queen but it has been sensibly used and well looked after with the odd age commensurate mark and it has been very reliable.
It will be a very reluctant sale and I may well regret it but time to move on.
The car is in North Wiltshire
