You can get an E55 pretty cheap, under 20k. There were a bunch of pullied/exhaust/tuned E55 videos floating around racing muscle cars (and 03-04 Cobras which have essentially the same motor concept) and the MB's were blowing the doors off the Mustangs making similar power.
I know I raced one with my stock+nitrous 01 SS and the guy didn't stand a chance. That car was a factory freak in itself, and with the bottle on top of it...
I think if you're looking for a nice car that's quick BUT you don't plan on driving it that often or don't mind paying for repairs, those aren't too bad.
Otherwise, I would never buy a used one as a driver or even a weekend car once it's out of warranty. With big power comes big repairs at big costs. It cost me a few grand every couple months to fix my CHEVY, and parts for those are 1/8th of the cost of a forced induction benz.
