For Sale: 2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG – Obsidian Black – The Sleeper Weapon With All the Right Options
If you know what an E55 AMG is, you already know this isn’t your average mid-2000s Merc. This is the supercharged hammer from Affalterbach — the one that looks like a business sedan but goes like it’s late for war.
Finished in Obsidian Black, this 2005 example is clean, understated, and menacing in all the right ways. It’s optioned with some of the rare and genuinely useful extras you actually want:
Key Features & Options
Panoramic Sunroof – Transforms the cabin and floods it with light. A rare, desirable option on an E55.
Electronic Flat-Folding Rear Seats – Yes, the unicorn feature. Turns your AMG missile into a wagon when you need it.
Reversing Camera – Modern convenience on a future classic.
All Standard AMG Equipment, including:
• Hand-built 5.4L Supercharged V8 (476hp / 700Nm)
• AMG-tuned suspension & brakes
• Leather interior with memory seats
• COMAND navigation
• Harman/Kardon audio
• Bi-Xenon headlights
• Dual-zone climate control
• All the usual E-Class refinement… just with a small supercharger problem (it wants to boost. Always.)
Recent Maintenance & Upgrades
This E55 has had all the important (and expensive) jobs ticked off, making it a turn-key AMG rather than a “project” with surprises. Recent work includes a full gearbox service, rear main seal and plate, rocker cover gaskets, new MAP sensor, fresh serpentine and supercharger belts, new belt tensioner, and a new A/C pulley. It’s running a new main & aux battery, a new centre fascia (the original had the classic crack), and both fuel pumps with fresh in-tank hoses. The engine was serviced less than 2,000 km ago, and the tyres are sitting at 80%+ tread. The hard stuff’s already been handled — just hop in and enjoy.
