V12 or V12 BITURBO? Clear Side Markers?
What do you think? I like both but I like the biturbo a little bit more, personally. I can always change it at any time.

I think the clear side markers look better than the orange.

On another note: I drove the 600 today and a guy in a bmw pulled up next to me, I looked over he gave me the thumbs up. I definitely love the s class and I'm really glad I made the move to mercedes.

Leave the original V12 badge on the car. Don't try to make it look like an S65. Just V12 makes it more of a sleeper and is classier. And of course no extra badges on the back.


Clear side markers look good.

Did you end up going with the 20" wheels? How does the ride compare to the stock 18's?

Yes. The ride literally feels the exact same as it was with the 18's. I guess the ABC makes a difference. I did go with bigger tires also for more sidewall. Love them! It definitely makes the car look a lot more aggressive.

I'll get some pictures when I go back out.

I agree, leave the original tags on the car; (IMO) it looks classier that way, or in my case, none.
