S63 - talk to me

[MB8701]

W221 - S63.

Very tempted about tickling the ownership of 1.
I have an S320 right now so not a stranger to the car in general however I wanted to ask if there was anything to watch out for over and above the usual things putting aside, fuel, insurance and tyres. Any other big ticket items to watch for?

As far as I know the engine is bullet proof, the only thing I am aware of that might be problematic is the ABC but isn't guaranteed to cause issues.

If anyone owns one let me know what its like

6.2na or 5.5 Biturbo?

Not sure how much the brakes are but on the W211 they were about £2k fitted so I would guess more on the S.
