211 E55 - Thoughts?

Hi All -

I have an acquaintance that is looking into purchasing a 2005 or 2006 E55 AMG. In searching the archives I find lots of discussion on just how bad & problematic are the 211 chassis, but surprisingly few specifics. The actual 211owners seem reasonably well satisfied with them.

So - What actually does go wrong with a mid-vintage 211? Assuming no warranty, how much per annum is reasonable to maintain and repair the car. He intends to use it as a fair weather toy, so mileage will be low, maybe 5K/year.

And are there any specific concerns with the supercharged AMG motor, driveline, brakes, etc?

Thanks,

- JimY
