"Problems" with the 2014 that were fixed/resolved in the 2015, 2016...?
Any "problems" for the first year new/facelift 2014 - that were later fixed/resolved in the 2015, 2016...?
I know they upgraded/changed the touchpad in the 2015 - but am not aware of anything else...?
Anything mechanical, etc.?

My S500 was registered later on in 2014 and is technically a 2015 model , it has the newer touchpad you mention.
i must admit I am thrilled with the car and will have owned it 5 years next month, it was a Mercedes used car and just one owner when I got it with 40k on the clock, it is now on 68k as it is not my main driver so it is kept as best !

If I were to go with a 14-17, I'd go with the 17 because of the 9 speed transmission. Otherwise, the touchpad change in between the 14 and 15 model year is the only major change I'm aware of. With S-classes; the particulars of the build sheet mean as much as anyting else. My current car has just about everything except a heated windshield.

This post indicates that the M278 cylinder material were changed in 2015 (2016 model year I assume). Guessing it was done to address cylinder wall scoring?

I bought my S not knowing what I know today and how vastly different they are on build sheet, I got relatively lucky in that I got a lot of the features I wanted but lost out on 3-D sound system and rear seat exec package, but I did get AMG Package and a few others to get a 117k build.
