In the late 1970s, Mercedes Benz released their 2nd generation S Class, the W126 body which was such a big hit that they sold it all the way from 1979 to 1990. Improving on an already near perfect design takes a huge engineering marvel. To achieve such monumental tasks, Mercedes Benz spent over 1 Billion US Dollars in 1980s money into the R&D of the best Mercedes Benz S Class ever made, the W140 S Class.
Sporting numerous mind-boggling features such as CAN BUS technology which was literally unheard of in cars at that time, double paned glass, self retracting trunk handle, rear vanity mirrors, side airbags, electrically operated centre rear view mirror, 722.6 5 speed electronic transmission, optional air suspension, a magic carpet ride, and most importantly an optional 6.0L V12 engine, it was beyond compare for the 7 Series E38.
You could get the W140 in 3 wheelbase forms. A short wheelbase W140 (280SE/S280, 300SE/S320, 400SE/S420, 500SE/S500, and really rare 600SE/S600), a long wheelbase V140 (300SEL/S320, 400SEL/S420, 500SEL/S500, and 600SEL/S600), and the coupe C140 later known as the CL Class. Engines ranged from the base model 2.8L I6 M104 engine with 193PS, all the way to the massive 6.0L V12 M120 with 410PS.
This review is on my post-facelift 1997 V140 S320 long wheelbase with a 3.2L M104 I6 engine developing 230PS, and 315Nm torque which is while not fast, is nowhere close to the definition of underpowered.
The best Mercedes S-Class ever made.

My long overdue video on my personal car, and also my favourite car of all time. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Don't forget to check out The Great EsCake on Facebook who has created my new logo for me.
Respect for choosing this one bro. Do you still have it, i am planning on getting one after returning home from working in china(saving all my money for this beast)
Unfortunately sold it once again. This time to a collector from Cebu :)
Well it did seem to be in great condition, it was bound to attract other enthusiasts. Any regret though? Or was it very expensive to run?
Some regrets haha
@@KyleLiongCars Next time get the 600 ✌🏼😆
Was interested in a W140 S320 that was in the used market and thought I'd watch some videos on it. Was really satisfied watching this video!!! What a beautiful car and a happy young man!
Thanks so much sir! Hope you end up scoring one in great condition
You deserve a million bro! One of the best car reviews I've ever seen. Saw many reviews on this car but this was well shot and explained. You got a sub from me👍
Thanks so much!!! Glad you loved the vid
One of the most beautiful Benz ever made
Agree
That's a fine example of a W140. Clean, with all the right bits and pieces. Nothing ostentatious or desperate for attention. 👌 Great review too. Very knowledgeable.
Thanks sir
Great review as always Kyle. It’s always great to see another w140 driving by. But sadly they are slowly starting to disappear. I’m lucky to have mine still running and keeping it in tip-top shape. It’s always a treat driving the beast.
Thanks! Yeah for sure. We really got to keep them running, or else no one will :(
Maintaining a legend is cost worthy, plz keep it, let not it disappear. 😊
I just love this Benz. Honestly, I would prefer this than the latest high end full-sized SUV.
Same :)
Well some people love the modern look more :(
True
yeah you probably said that to get likes. pretty sure everybody would take latest suv. no need to lie
I am only checking this after some viral video of some russian street with unfinished houses and full of these old mercedes
I saw a w140 yesterday, black, goodmess the prescence of that car!
It does look really impressive and imposing in black. Mine's a bit on the gray side but close enough hehe
mafia
I kept smiling when i was watching this review. #RespectTheMerc indeed. Thanks for letting me ride this 🙏🙏🙏
Glad you liked it hehe! :)
Love it! There’s a mysterious abandoned S600 Guard in my area that I always see. It was a US-spec V140 with bulletproof tires and flagpole provisions on the fenders.
Damn if you could find the owner, do restore that!! :)
ride it pls
Get that car in your garage asap bro
They cost much.. The tyres.. Transmission will failed often to the weight.. Glass in normal in S class if you want to design one from scratch will cost you more than 5000 dollars. Stay with normal one.. Still more than enough
Despite the car you have shown I like the accent you spoke....no overacting, no exaggerating, you know how to explain them.. plz keep doing this. Subcribed, good review..😊
Thank you!
Greetings from Singapore! Still an incredibly imposing yet elegant looking car that doesn't seem to have aged 1 bit.
Hello!
great car. I had 4 of them and there are absolutly insane! Good video!
Oh wow! You still have them?
.....Всем владельцам MERCEDES здравия и благополучия ! Были W201, W140, четыре года на W124, 1985г.(2.0, 4 - ст.ручка, pierburg, самоблок).
Я заглянул в Вечность.
I had this one with S500 engine version M119
it was amazing and mine was facelift 1996.with updated engine.
Absolutely👍The merc is always "Respect personified"
Yes haha
Your channel is exquisite. I've been following you on my other account since you started.
You're extremely knowledgeable an good on camera, keep going! As far as I'm concerned you're channel is one of the best automotive content on youtube!
Thanks! Means a lot :)
I’m dying to get one 320 99 , but reliability scares me , even with 40k !! Thanks great review !!
You're welcome! Don't worry about it. Reliability isn't too bad
Amazing car, great content. Keep,up the good work, looking forward to more informative videos. Perhaps more w140 related videos?
Thanks sir! Yes, perhaps more vlogs on the W140 in the future
My favourite car!
Same
I love your enthusiasm about the vehicle!
It’s hard not to if it’s my favourite car of all time hehe
The 16s look good on there. I'd space the front wheels out 1'' & the rear wheels 2'' to make them flush with the fenders for a nice broad-shouldered stance.
I love how they look
I own one and i love my W140
Lovely car indeed
I love the way you smile during the review, cuteee
Thanks mate
Glad to be here before this channel makes it to the top! This is definitely one of the best 24 min I have watched in my entire car life. Thumbs up for all the cool details!
Not sure I’ll ever make it to the top but many thanks for that! Hahaha! Glad you enjoyed this
A much better review of the W-140 than Doug Demuro's lazy effort which got 1.4 million views! (?) . You failed to touch on the soft-close doors and trunk which on my '99 S-320 still work flawlessly. Also, the SWB like my daily driver handles and maneuvers very well for not only for a "big sedan" but any sedan. "A giant taught to dance on its tip-toes" as one reviewer put it early on. Putting TOYO tires on a W-140 will get you 6 years of hard labor in Germany. tsk-tsk...kids today.
Thanks for that! That definitely means a lot hahaha!
Actually the soft close doors were optional in some S280 and S320 models. I already had mine checked if they are faulty, turns out, mine never came with the soft close mechanism altogether.
Toyos are great though 😂😂
they rust very much under the plastic panel between tail lights around trunk button .
the problem which Coupe version C-140 did not have .
The w140 is the best generation ever , such a great video you just made! , you must try the iconic LS400 it will blow your mind how it's so comfort you will feel your self driving a magic carpet and with that baby V8 engine its just a perfect match
Especially the LS400 98-99-20
I’ve tried the LS430 and LS460. I get where the LS400 was headed and yes, amazing
The best s class indeed
Agreed
If you see a W140 in Japan stay way
That German Brick is a piece of art
Whut whut
Lovely car! Our mechanic friend is arranging us a test drive for an S320 sometime this month. My dad and his siblings are planning to buy a nice Benz for their dad (our lolo). Hopefully we get to snag one in v nice condition!
Go for it :)
Great video about great car, I have V140 500SEL, greetings from Ecuador..
Thanks!!
How much cost that car i love it very much the beast
😃😃👍👍❤❤ I have one like her color Silver and is very beautiful and I will not sell it from the lovers of the Mercedes😎
Yep these beauties are keepers
@@KyleLiongCars
Yes, I thank you 👍
Great review
I’m considering buying one
Thanks! Good luck
Great Review Bro.
Thanks
Love that car ❤
Same
@@KyleLiongCars Please pray for me to buy it 🥺🥺😭💔
Apparently a lot of people in North America find the 3.2 version no slouch either!
They do haha
Chino you did great video.
Chino?
I actually live in N.America, Colorado, just off of a turnpike ( highway), and my 3.2L 220HP w. 5-speed transmission W140 seems to be happier in the higher revs, highway traffic. If it lags anything it would be in the city traffic when I will occasionally just downshift. Can't speak to the 4 speed.
Guess this is proof that even in the USA with big roads, the 3.2L is not underpowered :)
@@KyleLiongCars No, in fact, the inline 6 is regaining popularity as the most balanced configuration and BTW; I stand corrected, it's 228 HP and 232.0 ft.lbs. @ 3,750 rpm. and naturally asperated. The W126 500 SEC only put out 231 HP with a 5L! That's less than my 'X' wife used to put out and about the same weight! No I 'cruise' at 100 MPH at about 3200, maybe a little more RPM. all the time. Hard to tell, I am usually sleeping at 100 MPH
Glad to hear that. I’ve heard people saying it’s underpowered for a long time
Regarding to 6:45 my W140 do not have memory seat but still has electronic steering wheel adjustment.
Oh?? Nice option. Sad mine doesn't have it
@@KyleLiongCars I use your review to purchase that W140 btw, thanks for awesome video.
My pleasure man. Glad to have helped
I think this car has a special interior ! Nice review , you’re nice . Thanks !
Thanks
It's that multi-link suspension, man
Love it
hi, is the maintaenance on these baby expensive? partswise?
Very haha

Kyle, Sana ma-try ko din ang smooth ride ng Benz mo 😭
Very classy look can't compare to new modern car nowadays.
-Darwin
Agree. Ibang level tlga ng smooth siya
The old style climate control is not at all hard to use. It looks so much better and it is exclusive to the S Class, while that screen is the same I have in my CLK 230K.
Ok you’re right
Princess Diana’s last ride in 1997 with Dodi Fayed in Paris France.
Yes but we can't really blame the W140's design for it haha! The particular S280 that she was riding was already totaled and its structural integrity compromised :(
@@KyleLiongCars it's said the Mercedes reached speeds up to 65 miles per hour before hitting the thirteenth pillar on the left. Then it spun around and hit the wall on the right facing the rong way🎹🎶
@@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12 yikes
@@KyleLiongCars yeah I can't even imagine that. Also after the crash the car was held in storage for investigation purposes for quite a wile. Maybe up to 20,17🎹🎶
@@KyleLiongCars just found this comment thread again the damage to the roof was due to the rescuers cutting it off to airlift her out. They said if she was wearing a seat belt she may hav survived. Also before the crach the Mercedes was already an accident vehicle🎹🎶
When yuh talk bout road presence.
It’s there
Love this car!
Same. Regret I sold it once again
nice review
Thanks
Doug demuro Philippine cousin!!
Hope that’s not bad haha
Only going up in value. Brand new cars aren't as nice. So solid. My w140 has over 200k on it. Drives better than any car.. beyond smooth everything works. 12 point suspension. Best Mercedes ever built.
Nice car, but maintenance is expensive.
It’s not too bad haha
I own one of these and may be selling soon to make room in my garage :( . Same color.
@@KyleLiongCars I'll definitely keep it.
Great choice
Is that so? Why would the V8 have the same consumption as a smaller I6? I'm very curious
Not exactly the same but the I6 is pretty bad that it’s already close to the V8. Also, the I6 has to drag the weight of the huge beast a lot so it has to rev a bit higher to maintain the same speed so more fuel is consumed
@@KyleLiongCars ohh makes sense! Might as well grab the V8 if available
Yes might as well if you find one
Nice one kuya kyle what a great review of 1997 S320 model. 16:51 hindi ako sure kung anong year model yung nakapark na S320 na mercedes benz it’s like past and present models. Na-amaze ako pag nakakakita ako ng mga mercedes benz kahit pa luma yan ang ganda parin ng dating. I hope someday magkaroon ako mercedes kahit luma pa yan basta ok pa hehe
Thanks bro! kakatuwa talaga mga older Benz. I prefer them pa kaysa sa mga newer ones. Good luck and hope you get one rin in the near future :)
@@KyleLiongCars agreed. I showed some one a pitcher of a 2,022 Mercedes-Benz S580, and they said it looked like. A Hyundai!🎹🎶
It looks like a Genesis. Why? You’ll know in my review of the W222 S450 soon hehe
@@KyleLiongCars thanks. Also, you're impressions of the Mercedes reminded me of a concert grand I was touching before. Very large🎹🎶
Thanks :)
awesome!!! greetings from Malaysia! keep up ur goOd Job
Thanks man!
@@KyleLiongCars ... welc bro, actually my parents do keep an W140 S600L V12 1997 model, fully imported from Japan instead of Germany... only done around 60k km only... fully loaded including original Satelite Navigation System with TV Screen, glass sunroof, headlamp wipers, parktronic parking sensor, rear and side blinds, duo tone Nappa leather seats, memory package, electric steering column, XENON HID and so on... its a 4 seater car as the rear seats are individual... the car cost us back rm1.3 million in 1997 eQuals to today 15.1 million peso
Geez that’s an amazingly specced car. How are you guys dealing with maintenance though? Must be a big pain
@@KyleLiongCars ... we still send the car to service at MB SC... it has full service record from day one, even hardly drive it now, we service the car every 6 months as reQuire... beside, my parents also own an W222 S63L V8 Bi-Turbo 4-Matic 2016, 2018 W205 C300, 2013 W212 PFL E350 Coupe, 2015 W176 A250 4-Matic and 2020 W167 GLE450 4-Matic
That’s sweet! I can’t imagine the bill you guys receive servicing all those 😅😅
The E38 7series much more beautiful
I personally like the W140 more
Ang ganda ng car review mo, u deserve more subs bro. Naka subscribe na ko. Parang si Doug Demuro ng pinas haha.
Salamat bro
How about the fuel economy? I’m quite curious.
2.5Km/L City, around 5-6km/L on the highway
@@KyleLiongCars Jesus Christ. Well, that’s to be expected from a car like that. While I can afford it, if I’ll use it as a daily car and I drive about 100kms a day back and forth due to work, it’ll bankrupt me. 😂😂😂
Same HAHAHAHA
The car is very beautiful, my dream is to own this car .
The car is very beautiful, my dream is to own this car

Get one now before prices go up :)
Just curious, is this the same benz model where Princess Diana died in back in 1997?
She was riding a short wheelbase version of this with a smaller 2.8L engine. The S280.
Personal car hehe sarap salpakan ng work varianza yan hehe ❤️
Ano g varianza?
@@KyleLiongCars work mags hehe
Personally sobrang hate ko mga aftermarket rims. Lalo na mga masyadong malaki haha! Purist all the way 😅😅
@@KyleLiongCars varianza d3 na work hehe
@@KyleLiongCars pero actually ang habol sa mga ganyan either VIP, Yakuza spec or much better parang ginagawa ng purists dito sa pinas Catalogue build.
Nice!
Thanks
Wow
Yep issa wow car
How much does it cost to maintain cause I want one
A lot haha
@@KyleLiongCars Aw man😂
Sadly
You need to learn how to drive. It does drive very precise and never does anything unexpected even when you max out speed on the autobahn or on any curvy mountain road. You can control it really well IF you are savvy.
Well I guess I really have to try driving in Germany. Definitely a dream come true for me. Here in the Philippines we have really small roads so our driving style has never really been adapted to high speed driving :((
@@KyleLiongCars it is not about going straight fast - it is about maneuvering quick in tight spaces like you can see it how in movies like Ronin performed - and this is possible even with the M140 but you need to train and learn how to tame the masses but it is possible. With the right winter tires for example going over the Alps during snow all done and lots of fun ..
Would love to learn and try that someday
I have one and I want to sell it, it is in excellent condition.
Post it on FB Marketplace :D
How much?
These car are too under powered to be a 6 cylinder.. my friend just had to rebuild the engine at 150k miles and now the transmission wont go into 5th gear.. 1995 s320. Found a youtube video that says its a easy fix (got to insert a pin by the gear shifter but have to removed everything from center console. The problems are coming in hard, blower resistor died so AC wont shut off unless you disconnect the battery. Jus ordered the part 64.99 on FCPeuro (best place for lifetime warranty parts). turning signal died, we changed the light, turns out the wire harness for the lights started to melt (same problem I had on my BMW 328i). The right door stopped opening and recently the fuel pump most be going because car just loses power. We changed fuel filter, added a fuel additive and also drove the car till empty to put fresh new gas (always use Super 93) and no luck. Its kinda sad because my 1991 Cadillac brougham d'elegance lasted me 280k miles (purchased with 90k) never had any problems at all and I sold it to someone that still drives it today with no problems. All I had to do was minor stuff like some suspension parts that cost me a couple hundred buck and just regular oil changes. I will never buy a German car again for a while. It just doesn't make sense. I need my car to work.
Our roads are tiny here. The 6-cylinders are perfectly fine for our roads :D
planning on getting a s300td is maintenance a deal breaker? pls advice
Shouldn’t be too bad
Beautiful car but get rid of cheap ass tires. Put Michelins on it and the entire ride will be better.
I've tried many tire brands already. Brand alone doesn't necessarily mean a better or worse ride. Each brand's model is what matters. In my case, the tires I got on it are pretty good! There are good and bad models of Michelins too
@@KyleLiongCars you’re absolutely
Correct. But Michelin still makes the tire Mercedes specified for the W140 to ensure proper handling and the best possible ride for the car provided the car itself has a proper suspension that’s not all worn out and loose. I also believe Mercedes had also had the comparable tire from continental. I just know there’s several brands that just can hold up to the weight of these cars and therefore they just don’t last as long. lol just trying to be helpful is all.
@@garrettdodson6110 Thanks for the info. Would you know the exact model of Michellin that's made for the W140?
early gang
Great to have you back! You never fail to watch my vids hehe
yep lol
I have that car 😳
Nice
Nice Video ,BUT ! - I can see that you fear the almighty S600/600SEL's V12 .
I belive you never worked on the V12 M120 Engine or have watched to many TH-cam videos of incompetent V12 owners or those that wanted a cheap Mercedes W140 V12 .
It is so easy to work with you wont belive but only for the owner like my self that knows the Engine .
Only thing i could advise is that a V12 owner should have his Personal Scanner [C4-5] to check for fault codes if something isn't right not to just throw unessesary parts by gussing what a problem might be like many do .
Dont be affraid of the V12's , they the same as S320-S420/500's just that some parts are double .
Some say that the S500 V8's are only 1 second slower then the V12's , trust me it's more then that .
Aah that Torque (580kpm) on take off in 1st or 2nd gear .......... or keeping revs at 1600 rpm , at those rpm , the 580 kpm is always available (what was that i saw in my rear view mirror ,aah , an S500 lol).
This dosen't mean to rev the Crap out of the car but just to add . M120 engine standing at traffic lights ,one actually has to look at the Revs dial if the engine is on as it is so quiet & smooth .
Go get that V12 & never look back , once you got one, you never look at any other W140 Variant again .
Alright haha! Some thing to look forward to in the future when time and budget permits :D
@Kyle Liong Cars Yes . I am aware that in Malaysia were you are at i think , Those are verry expensive still .
I do have a few Malaysian friends with S600's that i used to help out .
We’re in the Philippines. I think even more expensive than Malaysia haha! Less available parts too :(
I counted zero cup holders lol
Yes hahaha
@@KyleLiongCars great review by the way.
Thanks
Wow Kyle I don't know how you tolerate it, but how can you be wearing pants in the Philippines? When I went to visit my lolo and lola, the only time I wore pants was during their 50th Wedding Anniversary; I was wearing a Barong. Anytime after that was always wearing Shorts and a t-shirt.
This is why I wear shorts in 90% of my videos haha! Pants are not comfy in this heat
It's a very good S class but not the even near W126 S class , W126 ( 1979 - 1991 ) is way much better built quality and ironic car that no other car can compete with
Hmm having owned both, I personally prefer the W140. Everything about it feels more well-built to me, except for its electronics for obvious reasons haha
anyone wants custom made w140 shift knob can check our video
I think kasing haba siya ng Crown Majesta
Nope. Mas mahaba pa ito ng almost 10 inches haha
@@KyleLiongCars mas mahaba pa sa hiace na bago?
May maikli naman ng konti haha
Front bumper left corner nuh tan good at all.
Gotta have that patched up soon
Probably a good cruiser luxury car but old mercedes's look a bit ugly and for grandpa :/
I beg to differ haha
But i know the feeling haha i drove for a year an old citroen c5 very good comfort but everytime i see one its a grandpa driving 😅@@KyleLiongCars
Ahhh the dictator car
Yes
Imagine if the exhaust was like effspot's jk jk
This has a 6 cyl. Not the V12.

Thank you! Uhhhhh NOT tipid at all hahaha
Parang camry lang Hahaha , do you mind creating review of BMW e38?
Naghahanap nga ako E38 eh hahaha wala mahanap. Mga 1/2 ng Camry
A car packed with technology....that fails after a few years. I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole, ever again! It's a beautiful looking car, a jet propelled bungalow, but ther tech is too unreliable and half of it, unnecessary.
The word is twenty, not twenny, because it's got a T in it! Stop dropping your T's. And stop saying 'like' every 5 minutes! speak English, a language that hasn't been spoken in America for many years.
This has been my most reliable old Merc :D
Definitely the golden era for Mercedes interiors in my opinion...
Not just interior for me ;)
You need to do the pre-facelift W220 next bro.
Lemme find one
@@KyleLiongCars 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Agree it was a masterpiece.Back in the day compared to what was on the road I remember these cars standing out .
Never had the money to buy one but sometimes think maybe it would be fun buying an old one and having the car of my dreams
It still stands out till this day
@@KyleLiongCars yes I find it stands out more then the new S class good to see people like you keeping them clean and original and driving them around so we have more car eye candy to look at
Free eye candy for everyone hehe
Like the son I never had. Dude, you should do a compilation video of your suspension sound effects. Starting with 17.16! It sounds exactly like my W 140 going over a pot-hole except not at all. But the effort was outstanding!
Hahaha at least someone appreciates it 😂😂
I just love old Benz. I have 9 from W116, W123, W124 to W126. W140 scare me because I'd electronics. I like simple mecanics and no bull 💩 from computers and electronics.... Anyone got a view on this?
I gotta agree with you haha
Bravo my friend, great video ‘. From 🇫🇷 with Thanks
Thanks
As to the "body roll" - I don't get it. How is your suspension? If it's old It's going to behave accordingly, like a wife.
Well typical body roll as with most large sedans
That's when they were made in Stuttgart Germany not from Alabama USA. It turns heads in my small town. And it waighs over 4 thousand pounds. It's a 1995 s320 it was 70,000 dollers in 1995 new . I wanted a rolls Royce but my wife said no way. I have to wait until she passes. Oh well.
Bro hold up
我這台顏色跟你的一樣...也是320
除了皮革其餘配備都一樣
1995的4AT油門是鋼索的
1996電子油門+5AT反應會比較好
動力大約要過3000 rpm才會出現 但在台灣也算夠用
避震器換之前確實像你說的狀況
我把老化避震器換掉路感變清晰很多坑洞都感受的到但還是舒服的
最大的改善是操控高速換車道也非常穩
我這台所有的配備都正常
26年來都停在地下室
哇26年停在地下室！我也想做這樣但沒位子。
我也試駕過了那些1995之前的。你說得對。這些比較新的電子油門感覺完全不一樣。
我去了台灣時，感到很奇怪。怎麼連賓士S Class 大水牛也當個小黃。好可惜。
@@KyleLiongCars 台灣這種車非常便宜一台W140現在大約5萬元台幣(大約9萬₱內)以內就能有車況一般能開的
15萬(約26萬₱)以內基本可以買到車況非常不錯的
W220價格也差不多S600之類會高一些
W221台灣也開始當小黃
W221台灣價格比一台新的VIOS還便宜(看車況但大部分都是)
而且台灣現在還有多元化計程車不用漆成黃色只用換車牌就能營業
讓很多大排氣量高稅金的車去換成多元化因為不用繳稅 大排氣量的稅金真的太高了一台S600一年大約要14萬₱....
現在不少LS460也都掛計程車牌
哇噻那我來搬到台灣了吧哈哈哈！難怪兩年前我看見了一台F80 M3為計程車。我在台北需要坐小黃時，每次就會等比較高級車我才要坐哈哈
@@KyleLiongCars F80 M3那台很有名
前幾天我也有遇到
其實他是一台318...
不過改的完整度非常高連內裝都改成M3樣式
我還記得它車牌TAX-699 😂😂
Rely its very nice car . Straight, snap-free body
Thanks
The reason the air vents are off center is because Mercedes added an extra gauge to the instrument cluster the previous generation didn’t have.
Why wasn't it integrated into the design though?
Remind my childhood using this car for a long trip. So comfortable. Btw what the sound you used for the intro?
Glad this video made you reminisce haha! I forgot the name of the song.
Hello. How many liters of gasoline does it consume per 100km?
20+ in heavy city traffic
wait a minute! that's a S600 interior! stitched dash and two tone seats!! that only came in for S500 grand edition and S600!
Exactly that’s why it’s so rare because it’s mostly for the top trim cars only :)
I ran the VIN tho and verified that it really came original with the car, and wasn’t just swapped in
@@KyleLiongCars that's crazy my initial thought was someone swaped a S600 interior! I didn't think they offered that for 320's at least here in the US! I've never came across one here in the US so far! But it's so weird they put two tone interior and manual steering adjustments and no memory seats! What about the headliner Suede?
Headliner is alcantara. Kandi suede-like. Weird though the rear seats have similar pattern as the front but are monotone
@@KyleLiongCars its crazy how many variations and personalisations they did with one car! Some of the middle eastern came with wild specs too! I know on the w126 some came with TV's lol!
