I’m liking the hybrid in the X5 plug in. If they only put it in the X7. I think I would prefer that powertrain over the V8 TT.
I would probably choose it over the TT V8 also.

That car is pretty beat on. Mine had 50k miles on it when I traded it and it was indistinguishable from new.
Always found this plastic top funny
Refresh cars like mine don't have that.
Wood and trim fades really easy on most of these I see
That was an issue on most Mercedes from 2005-2017, the refresh model thats solved
These are nice cars but every time I get one in I'm reminded how soft they drive, full sport is softer than my A8 in its softest mode and they just do not track and react the same way. Not a bad thing but just not what I prefer......
Actually drive them and you will understand. They are not comparable

I will try to test drive one to get it out of my system. I’m sure it’s faster across the board but don’t think its 300-400 mile fuel range is worth the trade off for the 0-60 around town. We take a bunch of roadtrips. Another one planned this weekend.

Thats what the S63 is for.
Oh I know all that, condition though is typical almost now one is like you are with treating cars properly. If it's owned by people like us no it's fine......but I see this condition every often with Mercedes cars to a higher degree than other brands.
The refresh is a must on the W222 for many reasons, the S63 is much more inline with my tastes and was a serious contender but the transmission and steering just wasn't it for me.

It’s been hibernating for 3wks🫣. It’s covered up in the garage. It’s clean waiting for some nice weather. I’ve been having fun rowing gears lately. Even took the family to church in the track car. 😁

Pretty much. I believe all of our vehicles can do 500 miles on a tank except track car and farm trucks. I may run the vehicles down to fumes but when I fill up, I hope it’s not until another 500 miles later.
