Great touring car like most of the cars in this class, though it seems most (not all) are just used to drive/commute around our big cities... whereas in Germany these cars (especially the Diesel S-classes and BMW 7series as well as Audi A8s) are most commonly used by business(wo)men who travel 75,000km or more a year.... have a look on carsales how little miles these cars do here...i'm amazed at that.... Great car nonetheless Great mileage eater.

Wonder what all the 10 special requests Piëch asked it to meet where? Built in a amazing glass walled enviro factory, in Dresden. Not for Oz, only NZ, they did get very close to selling it here though, be a great 2nd hand buy. Cheers, F-0 F-0 Buck[uncle!]^^^^

What's the point of a true luxo ride if you can't have the luxury of adjustable air suspension as standard fit in the S Class ? M Benz are working on a twin turbo version of their 3.0 litre diesel that first came out in 2005, that's said to be north of 230KW's !! In 2009 BMW have released a 3.0 litre single turbo diesel making 180KW and 540 nm's of torque, but four years ago M Benz released their S Class 173KW 540nm engine, so its taken all that time for BMW to catch up, go figure ?
