I've had my E55 nearly 4 years now and it's basically the same as a CLS55. It's been great, no major issues, and it has not been expensive to maintain. Bought with 58k kms and now at 98k. It's a great car to own if you can do some of the work yourself, you will save big bucks. Buying with low mileage helps.

Here's a part of my member journal:

The maintenance & repairs I have performed since I acquired the car (October 2014, 58,500km) includes:
December 2014 - oil change, air filters, transmission service, and valve cover gaskets (63,636km)
January 2016 - oil change, transmission electrical connector flange replaced (74,140km)
May 2016 - front ball joints & control arms replaced
June 2016 - front brake pads & rotors replaced
January 2017 - oil change (85,151km)
August 2017 - secondary air pump & relay replaced
May 2018 - alarm siren unit replaced
June 2018 - oil change (93,590 km)
July 2018 - transmission service (94,700km)
Sept 2018 - new tires (98,010km)

The 63 cars are good too, once the headbolts and or cam wear is sorted, they are solid cars.

Thank you for the insight. How much do they cost typically? Like how much is an oil change for a 63 if going to an indy shop instead.
