Inherited a D2 Audi A8L from my uncle. Ebony Effect Pearl, progressive-rate sport springs (28-30MM drop) with Bilsteins, Hypergram 18" x 8.5" wheels that match the paint, tinted windows, rear muffler replaced with dual in/out 2.25" stainless muffler & tips, little trunk lip spoiler...my older kid is now driving it and most all the consumable parts are replaced (whole list) and it is reliable. People really like the car, ask questions. In fact, two GSP troopers pulled us over (going from Barksdale AFB) just to check it out

Ha ha ha.... those shorts are so '80's!

Just got back from a 4 week holiday and was happy to see another upload of this car. I was then sad to hear you say that its sold

Scandi flick gone wrong. ;-)

Where is the exhaust sound? Why u showing inferior with classic music?)

Your mMercedes sedan does not have a turning circle anywhere remotely close to a Smart

So far so good on the content These cars are a death by 1000 cuts, due to a lot of deferred maintenance by previous owners. You would be better off addressing what needs to be fixed as you discover it, even being proactive with the common issues like hoses and replacing the accumulators. Also, grab as many M120 parts you can get there was parts we couldn’t even get at Mercedes Benz when I worked for them. The parts were “unobtainium”

Wait. What’s the inner diameter of the hose? What is it rated for?

Maybe I missed it in the video, what'd you pay for it?

Which turbo kit did you go with? I want to do the same thing to my 1994 E320 C124

Oh yeah if you can't afford 200k new vehicle why would you judge the suspension lol just a joke if you are bottomfeader type just get coil springs all around for like 600$ set of four lol I just got brand new second hand for 300$ set of four and about 2hrs of labour's after zero issues with suspension what a joke those people

Whata he is talking about lol have had roughly seven w220 from s430 up to s600 face-lift the most reliable is s500 pre face-lift 2000to2002 lol try and buy w221 for 1800 and drive it or w126 or even w140 what a bs as I personally owned w126 w140 w220 and w221 the most reliable the most cheap to maintain s class would be w220 the best performance and fuel milage with low cost maintenance is 2002 s430 models pre face-lift less glitches lol with stereo system 😅 just a joke how they negatively saying w220 not good siting in 200k vehicle bought for 1800$ and complaining 😅 just a joke

Love the build man. I have the same car. Would love turbo on mine

I did change pulleys and had an SRS issue, but that got fixed. Ill keep watching you guys, you make sense and I believe people can understand you because your not killin em with tech talk. Keep up the good work.

My s600 is in perfect condition, do appreciate the vids. Not the worst, just needs maintained. Mine is a 2004 and loves Hellcats...... Just sayin

Congrats on the v12 best of luck with the w220

ditch the k jet and go efi......

love that generation...shame to hear they arent too reliable :/

Nice, save for the cracked windshield

crushed the video format, much love to you guys! Keep on Benz'n! Sharing ideas is the quintessential component to this community that makes the love for these cars that much more possible... cheers

Welcome. What diameter are the brake discs and what is their width?

bistine coils on this is awseome fun and clean

If it was the worst chassie ever, why are you buying and reaping it?

Car sounds respectable, nice. I guess the headers are the things that really give these V12s the loud sound. I like this sound better

I love the w203 but that is very good and cheap to fix, living in europe parts are stil availeble new.

u guys are doing what WE wish we could do 🎉 cheers and bless

is beard dude gonna drive ?

I didn’t realize the 600 biturbos could be had so cheap until I saw your vid. Got a 04 CL600 now with a bunch of fun issues 😁

Great video!

The one thing I hate about mercedes is the US bumpers

Monkey Wrench Mike loves the W124 also. He has a few now as well, he also has two estates.

Good to see some fellow Utah peeps. Cant wait to meet you in the wild. You all are like Utah's own, Monkey Wrench Mike and his affliction with Mercs as well.

Great video, the W220 is my favorite Mercedes chassis, the newer ones feel too big and plasticky and the old ones feel "historic", it is truly the greatest sleeper road trip car. Like you said bring a fire extinguisher but you'll be riding like a king! Part of W220 ownership is accepting what you won't bother fixing. You're right about getting a used/driven version than a "clean" version because the maintenance is what makes these cars.

Awesome video, I’m Luca from the Facebook group, what I’ve done is taken that Y pipe off and true dualed the exhaust because of it being way restrictive, I totally recommend tuning the car with stage 2 or 3 if your willing to take the cat down pipes off and cutting out the pipes right before the cats, removing those pieces and replacing them with properly rounded pipe pieces

In a separate comment you mentioned poor braking performance so I thought I would share my issue I just wanted to share a bit of my experience with the 8-piston Brembo calipers that are common in our cars, as well as many Merc models, including certain AMGs and the SLR McLaren. I've been dealing with some corrosion buildup on mine, which has definitely impacted braking performance. I discovered this because my friends highly tuned E55 still manages to stop a good bit faster than mine (stops faster than mine at much higher speeds). This lead me to look into mine upon inspection I noticed that the calipers were full of corrosion explaining why my braking performance is not what you would expect from an AMG. If you, or anyone else, has the same calipers, it might be worth checking for any corrosion or other issues. I found this forum thread that talks about how to address this problem with some light disassembly and cleaning: www.benzworld.org/threads/s600-amg-8-piston-caliper-corrosion-issue.3056600/#replies From what I understand, when these 8-piston calipers are in good shape, they should provide phenomenal stopping power. Good enough to stop an SLR. Just thought I'd share this in case it helps someone out there, maybe even your S600! Keep up the great work on the channel!

Great to see the big girl riding how she's supposed to. Hope you keep the ABC and not get coil overs, the ABC makes the cars. I'm riding the ABC time bomb on mine, will be replacing the accumulators in mine in the next few months. And yes I'm broken, being in an abusive relationship with two of them, the S600 for interstate and highway trips, the S430 for daily duties.

I love my W211 E55 the cars don’t prefer 30% throttle they don’t care they are just machines and therefore have zero preference. However if you do exceed ~30% throttle in a V8 Kompressor or 65 bi turbo for more than a second or 2 you are in very illegal territory. I don’t know if the s600’s are this punchy tho. Not to say my car isn’t driven lightly.

11-11:30... "We can rebuild all the lines with the 3/8" is amazing information it seems. Gotta let my mechanic know & hope he's willing to tackle the job. 2005 S600 here on the east coast with a slight rear drivers side sag when the car shuts off and I really appreciate the knowledge shared in this video. 🫡

Bad ass video guys ..i lik how the st8 pipe still sounded not to loud.

W220 best car to own under warranty.. hahaha Great Video!

The Best or Nothing ! Blahhhhhh !!!!!!!

Inspiration

The "punting" part when getting hit by a larger vehicle would be MORE than a little scary if you happen to get punted into a nearby body of water. Would make for a BAD day!

I own one and its been great for years

Where can I buy these headlights? They look amazing on the mercedes.

The headlights look disgusting.

Really good video. Your passion for this vehicle is obvious.

It’s your car o do what you will. The headlights and that steering wheel #fail

Really miss mine, which i had to sell due to work commitments. Non turbo, C124 300-24 Sportline in Smoke Silver with Cream and Wood interior.😢

Yes!!! Exactly what I needed to keep on loading miles on my M103!!
