@RyanRoadReaper Don't think so. First year of facelifted one was on the market in US during the last year of W220. Compare facelift to W221. But I still think the W220 aged beautifully (I like simpler lights of pre-facelift cars)

E65/66 are genuinely the worst vehicle you could own if you don't do the work yourself. It's not just the engine problems that the later V8 cars suffered from. The rest of the car has parts that are outrageously expensive and unnecessary. Actually wouldn't mind putting up with it for a good 760, though. The W220 S-Class is extremely cheap to maintain in comparison with less complexity (even with the hydropneumatic ABC suspension). The design sure does look great compared to modern BMWs

@TommyNoBaka It's funny how polar opposites the MB and BMW V8s were of the era. The MB M113 was as easy and cheap as a small block GM V8. And then BMW thinks it's wise to have such things like water-cooled alternators

"little" btw

It's still sad compared to 90s BMW design but it's even more depressing that I see this as favorable to what they're selling now

@leviathan5207 It's not like they had to replace all 6 injectors. The average injector usually lasts the life of the vehicle with proper care. Whoever did the work just insisted on replacing them all while they were in there, I suppose.

Or they can just do the work themselves
