S210 55 AMG 4Matic Production Numbers.

[036]

I was looking for this information for many years.
But now i like to share this knoweledge with you guys. Got all Vedock screenshots, will never post them of course. Let me work it through and i´ll come up with colour combinations and other fun stuff.
There are 88 cars. Not 15.

I'm not sure who came up with "15" but I see it everywhere. There are also 41 sedans.

I never knew there was such a car, 4Matic in a W210 55 AMG.

maw

EDIT… I stand corrected… says AMG 45, “after the model upgrade in 1999, the E55 AMG also became available as an E55 AMG 4Matic sedan and wagon with permanently engaged all wheel drive.” So I guess I knew after all. The book makes no mention of E50 or E60 4Matics or Estates, presumably because they weren’t around “after the model upgrade in 1999.”

ROW got all the cool toys, including the E50 and E60, in both sedan and wagon form... then the E55 variants... and 4Matics...

Were there any E50 wagons? I never heard of that before.

@036 By the way, I looked it up right now on my spreadsheet of VINs, looks like there are 90? These all have 030 code and with a sales designation of "E 55 AMG 4MATIC"

I may be wrong on the E50 wagons - I know very little about the 210 production data. I assumed that if E60 wagons existed, there must be some E50 as well - but maybe not!

 

[WDB748372]

I've done so much on the 210, thought I totally missed one of the coolest models! I'm almost certain there aren't any from the factory. The E50 should have the 957 code and there's one 957 210.272 which is the E60 I have.

Did you track that E60 Estate back to the factory? Any chance that's a transplanted drivetrain into an Estate body?

AMG 45 doesn't mention that model, and the time frame (after 1999) wouldn't lead one to think it existed, which may or may not be a barometer for anything but raises the question.

It's tracked back to the factory. I do have a copy of the original invoice.

Any chance that's a transplanted drivetrain into an Estate body?

Also yes! It's an E420 estate. It wasn't just a drivetrain transplant but there are 6 pages of line items on the invoice that totaled to 287,500 DM (~$160,000 USD) in 1997. (Navigation system, subwoofer in trunk, tweeters in rear door panels, revised seats, dashboard, headliner etc.) I can create an owner thread if anyone is interested.

Unlike the W124 E60, I don't believe the W/S210 E60 were official vehicles being offered but it could be requested or converted at a later date. Either case EPC certainly doesn't see an E60 but rather E50 or E420.

That would be fantastic!

This is correct... the EPC does not acknowledge the existence of any W210 E60, only the E50. I'm not sure why, other than it would have been difficult to distinguish between the two without another unique option code.

 

[WDB748372]

Right and I don't think there is any option code that differentiates them. Without it, we'll probably never know the production numbers of W210 and S210 E60 models. I've gathered maybe 5-8 S210 E60, possibly some are the same car.

I've taken a look at the order of engine/transmission serial numbers but then again some cars with an AMG 60 stamp do have a stamped serial number that follows the sequence of other VINs when decoded.

 

[maw1124]

Also yes! It's an E420 estate...

That's what I figured. AMG 45 is actually pretty good about bragging about what they did.

maw

 

[036]

There are no E50 or E60 4matic.
How many sedans 210 55 4M were build we will check soon. Some say 155, i´m sure more...
We can surely also check E50 and E60, please give me 2 VINs....

 

[WDB748372]

WDB2100721A221024 (E50) (Engine SN 990751): This is an E50 that was sold.
WDB2100721A233920 (E60) (Engine SN 990917): Car came with a certification that it was converted in 1996. The Engine SN is similar to what most E50s are around.

The ones below could be E50/E60. They just have an Engine SN that's off than most. Perhaps you can spot a difference.
WDB2100721A068903 (Engine SN 003593)
WDB2100721A452710 (Engine SN 002939)

This is correct, the W210 E60 was not an official model. These are all E50's with a E60 upgrade package.

Thank you so much for this input! My source made a mistake, there are 90 cars.

PS I love when i get confirmation from more than one source, lovely.

Finally we can be sure and say- there are 41 sedans and 90 estates.
