TEST: W220 S500 2000 for a year

Lived for a year with the W220 S500 and have some things to tell you about it.

Most of them are with a very big smile on my face the car is astonishing.

This car was a one one person car owned from the factory until i bought it. Only 160000km with full servicehistory.

I had all the ordinary problems (issued) to the 2000 modelyear, except for the airmatic. And it was nothing to write home about fixed them as one should on a daily driver.

Airmassmeter changed it myself a 45min operation.

Crankshaftsensor changed changed it myself. App.30 minutes.

I had bad wintertyres on so the grip wintertime was not much to hooray about.

Nighttime instrumentation is very sharp and well done.

Upgraded the Navigation software and it gave me good service.

No ventilation in the seats though unfortunately.

Built in phone and Distronic worked as a charm also.

ZAS made the V8 very economic on the freeway.

The best instrument cluster is probably the most beautyful i have ever experienced.
