Here is a pic of my 2012 S550 4Matic. Put on 22" Vorsteiner V-FF 107 carbon graphite wheels (9" front offset 28 and 10.5" rear offset 35). Tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 255/30/22 front and 295/25/22. It's lowered just a touch to get rid of the wheel gap using Ghost Links.
Put painted roof and trunk lip spoilers on there. I feel like it's almost complete, was wondering if anyone had any other ideas for any other subtle mods it could use.
The vehicle only has 12,000 miles on it now and picked it up about 6 months ago from a first owner who did not use it a lot. Bought it at 9,000 miles.
Thanks a lot Bobitza! Yes mileage was super low and a great meticulous first owner just like myself. Given they treated it how I would have and with the low mileage feels like I've owned it since new, drives really tight.
Picked her up on Thursday evening with 143K on the clock.
Gave her a good bath today as well as interior detail. Fixed a couple of interior trim pieces and got everything back in order, i.e. trunk tool kit. Cleaned and conditioned the leather and detailed the exterior as well.
OVERALL, I am VERY happy with my purchase, this is an amazing car!!!!!!

Congratulations! Enjoy your car. This W221 body is one of the best S class body type I have ever seen.It's a long car at 206 inches and very masculine looking.
Picked up a Barolo Red 2007 with 80k miles 4 months ago. Love it. Great car. Clean Carfax, prior CPO. Fully loaded with AMG package, P1, P2 and P3 I believe.

This was my car and my photos over 10 years ago. This is the best car I've ever owned. I fell out of the Mercedes fold for a little while but came back in 2011 with an E class, then my current W222 S63. These are really nice cars but the W221 build quality was so solid and the features were so good. I sure miss her.
Dayum, that's what I call fully loaded. I think you have all possible packages and options installed (technical and "visual"). Like new condition as well ... this one's a keeper.

Thanks. I think the only option it doesn't have is the rear entertainment.
