E55 maintenance costs are basically the same as an E430 but the E55 is much much quicker and feels like a completely different car. The front brake rotors on the E55 are significantly more expensive than the E430's to replace. An E55's tires are usually more expensive too. I've had both an E430 Sport and an E55. I'd take the E55 over the E430 every time.
