I am sure I am missing something, the full amount of work that was done to this car is hard to remember, if I didn't like it, it was replaced immediately. Car has no oil leaks, and no mechanical issues whatsoever.
Oil was changed every 3k miles with Liqui Moly and Hengst filters, vehicle does not consume any oil and has minimal engine wear, these engines last 400k miles easily with proper maintenance.
Flaws: Car does have some paint chips on the doors, nothing out of ordinary. Sunroof tilts but does not slide back, auto trunk function does not work. Tint needs to be redone at some point, it is fading. Rear quarter windows have dry and cracked seals.
You will not find a cleaner E55 AMG on the market for this price, car is pristine. It drives like new, interior smells like a new car and it looks very good on the road. Car is extremely fast and reliable.
