1. Sam I hope you put your engine at top dead centre as this AMG is a interference engine 0

2. Having worked on cars since my pre-teens, I find your program very interesting and exciting. I was introduced to European cars through a friend with Fiat, Alfa, and Ferrari. Later I was introduced to Porsche and Mercedes. Which led to the race shop of freeman/Newman and then to teaching Auto Tech at the Univ. of New Mexico and finally retirement. Now at near 76, I enjoy reminiscing… I wish you the very best…

3. The new steering wheel looks worse than the original. The original was classy.

4. cheap ass steering wheel

5. I love this car! I need to get into this auction action…..I'm gelous of all the sweet cars you find and turn around! I'd never be able to sell any,I love them all. That Mercedes is sexy,black and shitload of power! Yup love it

6. "Customized AMG 55 (pulled from the junkyard so you will not be able to get insurance) for less then a retail one." Gee thanks.

7. A little work and talks too much

8. That first instrumental was banging

9. wait….you're a bit of a guru with these engines…

10. Literally a shade tree mechanic.

11. 6:10 Samcrac grows another hand

12. On all Mercedes Check engine lights comes on when you disconnect the battery. You must drive the car for over 150 Miles, give and take 20 miles to reset the check engine light.

13. I would fix the car first before taking a look at module fault codes.

14. do this guy put out the finish product? he just says that all he has to do is this and that but no test drive or review of the finish product

15. Don’t like the steering wheel

16. Good job

17. It's been a whole month, no upgrades or new vids for the E55 ??? 👀

18. no mention of the car asking for airmatic since you took it out. did the maxicom have that option to disable it?

19. LOL, a feeler gauge doesn't tell you the diameter of anything, that's what a calipers' purpose is…. A feeler gauge tells you the space or gap of something…

20. I love your videos Sam. I wish you lived in California and California had better regulations on salvaged auctions. I'll need a broker to buy. My family really needs an inexpensive car. I can do the upgrades and repairs( besides frame damage and anything that is not worth the time consuming labor like having to bore out the heads due to head gasket problems). I watch you and feel inspired and I wish I could somehow have you help me so that I could do this right and not get scammed. I was thinking of going for fuel efficient Honda civics or something similar but some cars are super cheap and some aren't even though they look identical and have a r and/or d and seem fine. Then reading coparts reviews and knowing I need a broker kills me!

21. In Germany you need to have headlight washers for xenon headlights.

22. Dude hope you are not buying these cars to resell. No one wants a car with a salvage title. Its like the kryptonite for car sales.

23. I CAN ONLY BID ON CARS IN ALBERTA,CANADA AND I'M ONTARIO CANADA

24. I wouldn’t buy a car from this guy… that strewing wheel is disgusting

25. So where is the Dyno before and after showing the 40 hp gain? Click bait.

26. I guess that's the new look? Foamy video game steering wheel instead of quality leather?

27. I guess that's the new look? Foamy video game steering wheel instead of quality leather?

28. I own a bunch of AMG'S and I like Sam! He knows his cars!

29. You are never your name, your name is …. !!!

30. Sorry, but that new steering wheel looks ass ugly.

31. Buy a panamera samcrac

32. Sam, there's an Extended Limited Warranty on your model. You can have your ESP/ABS Brake lights fixed for free under the ext. warranty! Go to MB dealer and have them check your VMI. My friend with similar year/model just had his ESP unit replaced with a brake fluid flush included and didn't cost him a dime. There is also an Extended Warranty on the fuel tank so if you tell them you smell a fuel odor around your car and also outside of the vehicle especially when tank is full, they will pop-in a brand new fuel system and possibly even a fuel pump under the warranty. Just an FYI, might help your case.

33. Don't you mean you're going to leave a 0.25mm diameter between the pulley and clutch? Now I'm confused, lol!!!

34. Dear god, that steering wheel makes the interior look like it's been modified by a 17 year old chav from Essex.  Sam, if you're going to sell the car you need to chance that wheel or you'll drive punters away.

35. Always keep the wheel straight when pulling it off..

36. the headlight washer nozzles are mandatory in Germany for Xenon headlights

37. No way anyone can repair that. It's almost as bad as a burned car with a burned shack on top of it, ripped apart with an excavator.

38. A lot of work for only 40 HP. Modern turbo cars net more power just with a flash tune. No physical mod necessary to add 100+ horsepower, just software.

39. No belt wrap kit needed to prevent belt slip?

40. React to DYI Build hellcat update

41. i prefer the older steering wheel

42. Really Sam, diameter with a feeler gauge? Gap maybe, spacing.

43. Hey around 9:00 minutes can you explain lil bit more how you do that or make a videos 😇 thats a nice car

44. Headlight washers are mandated for all cars with xenon lights in Europe.. since this is a European car they are there

45. Never ever rely on French tech (refering to Valeo)

46. P.s. no you need a speed sensor

47. He is running the plastic idler HAHAHAHA….lets see how long it lasts

48. Is that a Nissan Figaro in the background?
