55 doesn't mean 5.5. The 55 cars have supercharged 5.4 V8s.

See the 600 (S600, CL600, SL600)? Not all of them have 6.0 V12s.
Take this as an example, the R129 SL600, it had a naturally aspirated 6.0 V12, but the successor, the R230 SL600, had a lower engine capacity with only 5.5 litres, but boosted by biturbos.
Currently, all 600 badged models share twin-turbocharged 5.5s.
The 65 AMG models, such as SL65, CL65, S65, CLS65, etc., uses a 6.0, but has the biturbo.

A few examples -

B/C/E/200 - 1.8; three variants - NA, Turbo (B200), Kompressor
C/E/CLK/SLK/230 - 2.3; NA (older), mostly Kompressor. Some C230s are 1.8s (Supercharged), some are V6s.

Currently, if I'm not mistaken, the 3.5 (350) is the only engine that is being used by the all/most of the models.

actually a fresh grad can afford

I just graduated from flying school, now working as a pilot

I can afford to buy a Nissan GTR (RM 750 000) and still have enough left every month to pay the installment on a nice condo (KL One)
