I have two w220's, a S500 and S55. My 2003 s500 has been bulletproof, well over 200k. My 2004 s55 has been more fragile by comparison. The fuel pump went out. Oh my g**, the fuel pump was expensive. Aside from that I think these are really undervalued cars. Nothing like them today.
Totally agree. I am impressed mine has held up as well as it has given the abuse its been through! I have a S500 parts car as well that I will probably use to dress this one up a bit. It still runs and drives just neglected! I'm very tempted to put it back on the road!
Can’t wait to keep up with this build! I have a 2003 S55 as well and wish to see more
Thanks next time it goes on the lift for suspension and engine maintenance. Parts on the way!
@ sweeet I’ll be tuned in for that! Need some pointers to look out for
