Model year differences 2007, 2008, 2009
I've been kicking around the idea of an S65 filling the void selling my E55 left last year. I'm curious to know if you guys could point out how different an '07 model is from the subsequent years. TIA

OK, let me try (but I can't guarantee I get EVERYTHING right..):
2007: Distronic and Panorama-Roof optional, leather (seating and doors) "even and flat".
2008: Virtually no options (options mentioned before standard), leather now "structured".
2009: New wheels standard (S63 Performance-Package wheels), Carbon-Fiber trim available, according to other members on this board, speed-limit raised to 193mph.
Possible that there are some additional minor changes (i.e. software)..

Oh, BTW - in case somebody reads this - I have a question, too..
Does anybody know if the 2007 S65 (or the 2007 S-Class in general) has a tire pressure monitoring system that actually displays the current pressure?
I tried to find that info online but I only get the info that the car has "monitoring" - what could also be a simple warning-feature without pressure-display..
Thanks!

2010 CL65
MY08 DistPlus now incls BlindSpotAssist
MY09 incls all-leather sports steering wheel (w/slightly softer leather finish than '08 AMG CL steering wheels)
Presumably, more recent 65 motors are more debugged than earlier MYs (esp w/R&D put into 65Blk motor)...anecdotally, know of many past (esp MY07 and older) lemon buy-back 65s b/c of motor-specific lemon issues
Yes, TPMS (incl on MY07 S/CL) shows current tire P in each tire...reasonably accurate...also useful would be temperature readings in each tire (like 599 has), esp useful on ~40F CA winter AMs when perf tires can be sub-optimal in traction/braking for any vigorous driving
