Really?
I thought those were praised as the "mercedes" back then, the one before the chrysler merger. I love those mega-sedans as they were called

Yes!!! the W140 has endless problems, my family had 2 early and late model and I spend a lot of time with them... back then it was cool cause they are like the biggest car out there but having one is nightmare...door won't close, trunk won't close.. I still see those W140 running around most with their trunk sticking up I don't know how many times I call roadside assistant because there were problems.. one time the window won't close and it was WINTER time hoilday dealer was close roadside assistant came and took out the door penal cut a piece of wood throw in it to support the window so it will close and he did it right in the middle of parking lot.. I will never forget that... Also they are fat and overwight.. drive like a tank but it is not bulletproof...W140 = junk

Thanks for looking at my S63/M6, I'm thinking about only light mods for my cars at this time, too busy now.

I'm looking for a set of 20" forged wheels for S63, M6 stock wheels are forged.
