S600 with AMG badging, AMG exhausts and AMG brakes..etc
Wouldn't all that mindless upgrading surpass or equal to the price of a new and authentic S65 AMG??

Yeah, I think it's brilliant -- very hot, except for the fact he felt the need to put S65/AMG/BiTurbo badges on it. Why could it just be a S600 with an AMG Bodykit on it? Are people so vain that they need to give it the final "S65 AMG" badge to seem top of the line -- is an S600 w/AMG Body kit not enough?

120k would be a sweet deal and having the V12/quad exhaust/S65 body kit and brakes would be enough to sway me from an S63.
It's a shame that it doesn't have the cashmere interior and I'm sure those 22's aren't comforting on a long drive.

) But its true, any real MB person would know by looking at the Exhaust system and the badging on the interior is probably missing also.

I remember seeing this ad a week ago. I thought it looked really nice, but I never made note of the S65 badge.

I would have deleted the rear spoilers and the 65 badge. I would take the rest of the updates though and end up with an an s600 amg. the flank "biturbo" badges aren't misrepresentation anyway.
This S600 however is missing even some of [what i thought were] standard 600 interior fare, such as the 10 vertical pipings on the seats (ala designo) and v12 badges on the backrests, as well as the ruffled leather section on the doors. This interior looks like a "mere" 550.

2007 S600
That was the same reason I bought the S600 instead of ordering an S65. All the ones that I found did not have all the options.
The only thing I still need to change is the programming (going to RennTech in a few weeks) and the brakes (not sure which brake kit to get.)
I didn't think the S65 looks that different from an S550 sport. I was planning on changing the wheels anyway, so buying an S600 was a better deal and I get everything the way I wanted it.
