Considering 2008 S65
Good day all. I am considering purchasing a 2008 S65 with 20K miles on it. I am coming out of a heavily modified E55. Can anyone share their +/- experiences to be on the lookout for? Other than gas of course. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Having a 2008 S600 - which is similar, I can tell you that its a completely different beast than any modified supercharged E55. Its going to be quieter, heavier, more luxurious - but I don't think you will be left wanting more power 
Once those turbos spool up - the car takes off like a champ. You will not have any regrets.
Make sure there is an extended warranty though - you do not want to have a 5 year old V12 without a comprehensive warranty

Congrats you will love it, I also had an E55 (stock) before the S65 and even though I know it is faster it feels slower because the power comes on more gradually than the 55.
