Yeah.. I'm curious who in this world cud truly hate the S-Class? I'm a BMW fan too... but there's times when I have negative points with the new 7... But the S-Class? How can people ever say it's not a nice car? I'd truly call it a Zero defect car... as long as u dont have the 400CDI lol...

Flaw #1 - boring 16 inch wheels are not inspiring.

Flaw #2 - No twin/quad chrome exhaust tips.

Flaw #3 - needs Sportier Alloy type pedals.

Well, first 2 flaws can be fixed by going for the S55 or the S600. Its not really a "flaw".. just a fringe benefit for spending more money..

The normal styling w/o sports kit is very bland.. but that is sooo mercedes heh.

The flaws I see with the S class is not specific to the S class. The COMAND is weak, but functional. Another flaw, again, not specific to the S class, is the increased use of plastics in the interior.. which of course, can be alleviated by going for the S600.

There is no real specific weakness to the S class. The same negative points in the S class exist through the whole mercedes lineup.

I agree there are flaws but in mercedes most of them like wheels ... plastics etc. Can be covered by spending more but then think of other competetors who have flaws with their design which really wud have to be the same... unless you plan to demolish the rear part and make a new one which I truly think for my new 7 series which im dying to get when its out the '760Li' but then I do wish to change the rear and the layout of the A/C controls ... but then those no matter what I spend I just cant change right? My point is compare to other cars the S-Class makes so much of a perfect package with just a bit of tweaking here and there... for that we always have BRABUS right at the corner...

The assumed the question was related to the standard S500 & S430 not the S55 or S600. My post just indicates that the S-Class is not perfect. The new 7-Series comes standard with 19 inch wheels I believe and sportier pedals, not sure about the exhaust tips. Owners of the 7-Series will be less likely to desire aftermarket wheels.

The engine on your S430 is the weakest link(far beyond a simple flaw)--after test driving S430 you should have said "good buy!" What were you thinking , dude, that engine should have never gone into anything past E class. THat car needs engine first and whatever you put on it last, what were you thinking?

Thats right Kev any W220 with beige or light gray(ash)? interior is a travisty and a crime agains humanity. YOu have to remember though that 745 came out 3 years later than -w220 (since 1998 in EU) and it looks like the car is still half-baked if you take the problems with it into account so it was easy for BMW to look at S class and improoove on lets say interior quality, put 19" wheels and put in 6 speed auto as 6sp was not available when S came out. BMW would have been a very good car for the money if it were not for silly rear end, eyebrows and and at least some of the buggs worked out before putting the car on the mar=rket

Yes one more, how do you like your cheap ride, big boy? I have read some posts from you that "suggest"you are in love with it.

The 745i comes with 18 inch wheels standard. The 19" inch wheels are $1300 extra. most people order the 19" because the new 745 look very big and the standard 18" wheels look more like 15" wheel on the fat 7

So when is $80,000 considered "cheap"? Add in another $25,000 i've wasted on my car and you're into 6 figure territory. More than you'll ever see in a lifetime and I spent that in one year. And i'm STILL living comfortably. Jealous now? Don't hate me because I live the lifestyle that you only dream about.

Oh wait, you work at mcdonald's earning the BIG BUCKS at $6.25 an hour, my bad homie.

So yea, keep on sagging your jeans real low, flashing off your BAD *** nikes, and wearing the NEWEST Sean Jean shirt and keep pretending you're someone even remotely important in this huge world. Because hey, you're white and you watch MTV, so you HAVE to be *******g cool, yo. If Eminem can be famous, YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE ALSO!!@!!@!@!@@

Fast Eddy

Sounds like you without notifying your doctor stoped taking your medicine----Jesus, sweet Jesus what a mess you are. As it stands now I dont see a "cheap ba$tard" in you ----you were definitly complimenting yourself ---instead I see a crazy "ba$tard"
Who ever told you I had cable? hahahahahahaha With 3 kids unfortunatly no time to watch programs you mentioned on or off cable so I don't have it there you have it stu pid. Who is "Eminem" your tuner? If so than resolve the problem of the ride that as you put it "sucks" with him. If you asked me and not this Eminem---I'd tell you get the engine with your car, stu pid instead of dressing up this poor s430 like a christmas tree.
Next time put "decent engine" at the top of your priorities when you buy a car-what is the point of driving a car with a performance of a Buick for $80k? Buy yourself a brain while you are at it as well.
Hopfully you have medical coverage otherwise God help ya and good luck psycho
