New S600 W221 2007 owner !!

[Portofan]

Hi all, just joined the club... Had a few MB's (C220 '04, current CLA 200) and have just acquired a 47,000 miles S600 W221 for weekend drives.... LHD version to take it to sunnier places ..
Would like to do a full inspection, the interior and exterior are excellent and the car runs perfectly, a delight to drive. BUT I am aware that it needs proper care before bills start stacking up ... Any suggestions? I live in West London.. But don't mind driving it farther to get proper specialists in these cars...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on getting a beautiful car!
is it the silver S600 with the black leather and AMG pack?
I remember seeing for sale a silver S600 lhd
The S600 is a fantastic car, pure luxury but with great performance too. I loved my old S600. It was such a nice car. When I thought it was time to move on and sold it, I regretted making that decision straight away and went and bought a couple of S classes

Glorious cars.

Needs a photo, though.

Which part of West London? It'll affect whether we send you down the A3 to PCS, the obvious choice, or out West or even North.

Then Wayne Gates in Harrow, PCS in Horndean, but the shortest hop will be down the A316 to Nigel at Alexanders of Twickenham (ex-MB Weybridge)

Thanks !!! Much appreciated..
Also I would like to get the NTG sorted out to the European version (it's japonese), who would you recommend? (Maybe do a Android auto OEM upgrade also ?? Any experience with those ?)

Personally while I love cars of this era, I avoid their Satnavs, Bluetooth and media, using the car’s inbuilt tech only for their amplifiers and speakers. Other views will follow

Nice car! Welcome to the group!

I agree. I fitted an aftermarket Carplay/Android Auto device to my 2006 S600. It uses the original display screen, so it doesn't alter the look of the dash at all. I linked to the item I fitted in this post: New member - 2006 W221 S600 | New member introductions
The only slightly annoying thing with it is that I have to exit from the Carplay screen to get to the regular car control screens, and any sound output from Carplay stops when I do that. But since I stay on the Carplay screen most of the time, this is only a minor complaint. I don't know if all such devices have the same issue.

I also added an aftermarket amplifier between the existing amplifier and the speakers to give me greater control over the sound quality. Description here in case anyone's interested: W219 Harman & Kardon sounds awful | Electronics and Audio
