The 5 speed automatic transmission that Mercedes-Benz used it a masterpiece, with a V8 or V12 you dont need more gears than 4 or 5 the motor has enough torque to move this full size sedan around. And the 5 speed automatic transmission is really reliable compared to the transmission that replaced it. I have never understood why a normal vehicle need more gears in a automatic transmission than 4 or 5, it is just something that will break and be expensive to repair...
It's a lovely car! Insurance isn't actually too bad, but running costs (petrol, UK car tax) are high, and there's always the potential for a very big repair bill with a car like this!
I thought it's the same later model s600 that made nearly 500bhp. That's a monster of an engine and only can use its full potential on the autobahn. I would say take it to a drag strip but I knew you got Mechanical issues to worry about

I agree, 5 speed is plenty with this much torque!
Lovely car and it now looks a lot better without the gold trims and wheels. The AMG bumpers make it look really nice.
Another great video 😊
Thanks a lot mate 🙏 yeah the gold wasn't really my style!
Welcome to the family my friend 👊🏽
Thank you 🙂
You're very lucky, that’s my dream car, but the insurance on it must be quite expensive though

In the UK (possibly worldwide?) the later W220 and all W221 S600s had the same M275 engine with close to 500bhp.
I'd love to do that 🙂
I have owned one for 3 years I love it. Such an undervalued car
Congratulations 🙂
I agree... It's so much car for your money!
I have a 2006 S55. I bought it instead of a V-12 car because of the coil assembly on the V-12.
Great car and a wise choice. The V8 in the S55 is meant to be very solid... And I love a supercharged engine!
Your car looks much better than it did when you got it.
Thanks very much 🙏
@@Rich_Runs_Cars you are very welcome.
Cup holders in the rear center arm rest. The driver doesn't drink while driving.
Of course! I was forgetting it's a limo 😂
I think someone told it's the golden era of Mercedes and he took it too far
😂
😅😅😅😅
Epic car. The new wheels and 3D plates are awful.
Thanks for the feedback 😂
