Here is the story my W216 since I bought it 6 months ago
I have always loved the W221 Facelift S Class since I was around 16, I told myself one day I would buy one. Years later, I have owned Jaguars and BMWs, but never a Mercedes- so I decided to follow my dream and buy one.
The 4.7 biturbo engine seemed like the pick of the bunch, much more power than the old 5.5, better economy and slightly cheaper tax. A Stage 1 remap takes the car from 435bhp and 700nm to around 510bhp and 800nm, nearly as much power as the 6.2 v8 and more torque!
I viewed a S500L variant with amazing spec, but sadly my gut feeling told me to walk away, as I found too many issues that could be expensive to get right. I started looking at the Coupe version of the S Class- the CL.
I am glad I waited, as soon as I saw it, it had too be mine. The seller had spent a lot of time making the car just right for sale, it had just been ceramic coated, 2x premium rear tyres, front brake pads, service and 12 months MOT.
The car is on a 61 plate, 84,000 miles and in amazing condition, bar the wheels. A very high specification:
