w211 vs w220

my bro is considering between a 211 and 220 and since I am driving a 211, I am for 211. But what do you guys think?

The 211 is elegance model with a nice amg body kit and the 220 is a fully loaded version with sunroof, phone kit, etc. I am for the 211 as it gives a younger image, but with the new wald kit on 220, I am not sure now. Both are year 2004 NA engine.

IMO, the 220 was the worst S ever in terms of design, the interior and exterior of the 211 are much better. Also, which model for each series is being considered?

The 2004 W211 was the 2nd year for that series and has some problems. The W220 was in it's 4th year and although the earlier ones had their own issues, by 2004 most were resolved. You didn't say what engines these 2 cars have, but I would still vote for the W220.

I have seen the interior of 220 with him, other than the dash looking a little dated, the seats and overall feel is luxurious. I would say more luxury than a 211 in that aspect. He now changes his mind to consider a E55! I am really not sure if that is really worthwhile because there is nowhere a E55 can run in a very congested urban area...

There was a new GTR I saw the other day and no matter how hard he tried, he was always caught behind some road hogging cars...
