W221 S65
Today I pulled the trigger and bought a 2007 S65 that has been meticulously maintained with 64,000 miles. I know all the scary stories of these cars but what the hell you only live once. I lived through owning a 2003 S55 for over 6 years and a lot of ABC issues and I still loved her.

LOOKING FOR A W124 COUPE
Very nice... but we need pics...
I chose to skip the W221 because I like the console mounted shifter. I was looking for an S55 but ended up with a S65. The M275 engine is just amazing....

nice purchase.
keep monitoring the radiator in front of the air intakes. the W221 s65 radiators are prone to break by the air inlets and suck all the coolant into the engine. i have seen 3 cars suffer engine damage due to this

I was considering cold air intake and maybe that would help solve this problem?
I plan on trying my best and doing all the work on this beast myself but we will see. I was able to maintain my 2003 S55 for over 6 years by myself mostly. I do think I need to get the WIS software to help me do this.
Thanks again.

I have never heard of this. Do you mean the radiator itself breaks/cracks?

I suppose anything is possible but this is the first time I have heard of this issue.
Thanks, I will keep an eye on it.
