Meh! My car has over 152,000 on it. They need care and feeding but the Germans did good with the 222. Best S-Class ever. Least babysitting of any that I’ve owned through the years.

True. I just finished up with a whole bunch of maintenance stuff and am ready to go the distance with my car I’m just hoping the motor mounts and trans mounts and suspension parts hold up a while longer. I’d thought about just getting a new Genesis G90 with 4 year maintenance included and not worry about anything but I’d be lucky with the higher miles I have if they gave me 30k trade in and the car to me is worth a lot more than that. I’ve maintained the heck out of it. The G90 there’s a lot of things I like about it. The self opening and closing doors 409 hp motor and even more tech than my S class. The things I font like about it no road feel like my S and funky handling. My car with MBC has great road feel and in curve mode handles amazing. Plus it’s a Benz and not a Hyundai.

Is the rear accumulator the one you can see in the trunk near the battery? I'd love to see a technical document explaining all the functions and operations of the system if anyone knows of one. The discussion here is very helpful but it would be great to get the complete overview.

Here's a great resource. It also explains the upgrades from the original ABC system to the more recent ABC+/MBC.

MBC is similar but now with cameras, much faster response times, a lot more computing power and somehow even less babysitting than in the 221 cars; which were a huge improvement over ABC I in the 220 cars.
