Where to start? The Italians or the Germans?
D*** you and your distronic.

Seriously, that's a very nice looking car.

One of these days I'll find one. I'm in for a 221 or 216 CL65/600/S600/65. Don't care what really. needs to be a color that's not black/silver/grey, with sport pack (if it's just a 600), and absolutely must(repeat: must!!!!!!!!) have distronic. Only looking for 07-09 though as I'm not a fan of the 2010+ facelift. Gotta make it as hard as possible, eh? Took me two and a half years to find my current '04 S600. I haven't seen one since either.

PS, one little hint for your 65. Go and code the car to euro-spec with Xentry. It'll turn off those silly front corner markers, not ding so much when you put the key in the ignition, and not remind you about your seatbelt. Best mod ever IMO.

You will be happy to know that the W221 S600/CL600 has Distronic Plus standard.

Beautiful car! These S65's are so amazing!


As far as Distronic goes the system keeps you automatically at a distance from the vehicle in front and makes a major contribution towards minimising the risk of rear-end collisions by identifying potentially dangerous situations and responding accordingly.


Car slows down you slow down. Car Speeds up you speed up. Enough to keep a equal distance not so much you crash the guy in front and not little that you get hit from behind.

Got my ceramic Red Stuff brake pads ready for install. Had to paint them black, couldn't imagine seeing the red in the mix.. Now, they are Black RedStuff brake pads. I will be sure to post performance on them.

Going to throughly clean the calipers, rotors, wheelwells, etc when installing.

Can't wait for the season here to star attending some local car shows with. I have always loved Automobiles. Had many. I researched enough to educate some people about the Mercedes & AMG line up. Car should spark up some conversations.




Have taken the wheels off and gotten them cleaned up to about perfect shape.

Did u cut the rotors or anything? It's def not a good idea to just slap pads?!?!?
Doesn't matter how pampered it was/is, 44k rotors aren't going to mesh well with new pads. They will def wear the pads down very quickly.

Red stuff pads come with abrasive coating for that purpose. (Seating) Will be ok.

I have switched every vehicle I have had over to Ceramic without turning (Unless needed) My 01 F150 had 170,000+ miles. Now has 194,000. No problems.

How did you lower the car? I ask because of the ABC system.
