Post a picture of your W140 here!

Over on the Cadillac site I belong to, we have a lot of threads like this for different vehicles. I thought I should bring this sort of thread over here!

Here's my '99 S320 Long Wheelbase. It's Smoke Silver with parchment leather. 75k on it. I love it! Wanted one since they were new (when this one was made, I was 11 years old...August of '98)

Yup, not AMG ones though, they were an optional extra outside of the US market.

well, they're not stock.
i got them when i was shopping for new wheels.
my family in holland hooked me up.
i think they look sharp without overkill.
and i'm sure you can find them here in the us.
i'll look around and will let you know.

Vasir, aside from the difference in acceleration, what drives better? The S320 or the S600? I'd imagine the 320 handles a bit better..seeing as how it's engine weighs ~1/2 as much as the V-12.

the s600 feels more like a boat than the s320. i know the turn radius has to be the same on both cars, but i feel more comfortable turning the wheel and doing a U-turn in the s320.
the S600 deff. feels heavier, but it has an 'i-am-better-than-you' feel when you drive it...very hard to explain.
the interior trim and even the buttons in the 600 feel better than the 320.
if i could have the 600's Interior, steering wheel, and grille on the s320, id be a happier man.

I like both cars equally, but there are features on each car i like more than the other.
ive never been in an s500 or driven one, so i cant compare it to that, but wow, drive an s600 and you will be amazed. i really think you need to own both cars...

Haha, if only I could afford the maintenance on two W140s...not to mention one V-12.
