The service schedule is the same as any other 2006 MB: service every 10K miles, alternating A and B. A is mainly an oil change. B is more comprehensive. Filters and plugs (all 24 of them) at 60K. (V-8 plugs go 100K but all V-12s have plugs replaced at 60K).
Maintenance is bound to be more expensive, but repairs are the real killers on these cars. I wouldn't consider owning one off warranty. If you are talking Starmark with 100K and enough time to see you through, fine. Otherwise, you could be in real trouble in 18,000 fun-filled miles. Third-party extended warranties are not that easy to come by for AMGs, so do your homework now.
The biggest downside is that you'll never be happy with a V-8 again.
