Thinking of trading in the 03 CL500 for.....
Same year S55 or S600. I like my Cl, but I need four doors again for family needs...and I wouldn't mind a bit more power to play with too. 
Any advice between picking one or the other? Is one more likely for maintenance issues? I'm leaning towards the s600 just cause I like the idea of the V12.

Performance of the 55 may be closer to the CL in terms of handling and nimbleness. The S is not quite as nimble as a CL. But... with the 600, you are a renntech ECU away from a hold on to your hat mama locomotive thrust of 745 pounds of torque at 1800 RPM's. Even stock, the torque in the V12 is addicting. If you like better handling and drive fast, the 55 may be the better choice. Its more driver oriented.
