Mercedes S600 V12 BiTurbo W220 review

Review of my Mercedes S600 V12 BiTurbo W220 that I've owned for a year now.

2005 S600 here.....i luv mines. It operates in open space areas only. For a 20 yr old car it performs Superior, effortlessly!!!(Highway preferred)

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Yes definitely best in the open and on the highways... It's awesome at that 😎

The 5 speed automatic transmission that Mercedes-Benz used it a masterpiece, with a V8 or V12 you dont need more gears than 4 or 5 the motor has enough torque to move this full size sedan around. And the 5 speed automatic transmission is really reliable compared to the transmission that replaced it. I have never understood why a normal vehicle need more gears in a automatic transmission than 4 or 5, it is just something that will break and be expensive to repair...

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

I agree, 5 speed is plenty with this much torque!

[@Sam_AMG]

Lovely car and it now looks a lot better without the gold trims and wheels. The AMG bumpers make it look really nice. Another great video 😊

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Thanks a lot mate 🙏 yeah the gold wasn't really my style!

[@ScorpionVonScotts600]

Welcome to the family my friend 👊🏽

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Thank you 🙂

[@uzzle21]

I have owned one for 3 years I love it. Such an undervalued car

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Congratulations 🙂 I agree... It's so much car for your money!

I thought it's the same later model s600 that made nearly 500bhp. That's a monster of an engine and only can use its full potential on the autobahn. I would say take it to a drag strip but I knew you got Mechanical issues to worry about

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

In the UK (possibly worldwide?) the later W220 and all W221 S600s had the same M275 engine with close to 500bhp. I'd love to do that 🙂

[@Who_is_HAISEA]

You're very lucky, that’s my dream car, but the insurance on it must be quite expensive though

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

It's a lovely car! Insurance isn't actually too bad, but running costs (petrol, UK car tax) are high, and there's always the potential for a very big repair bill with a car like this!

[@BobBenz55]

M275 ❤ beast. Have the R230 SL600 👍🏼👌

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Awesome car, I'd love an SL600! Yeah the M275 is brilliant 🙂

[@t.l.robinson2162]

I have a 2006 S55. I bought it instead of a V-12 car because of the coil assembly on the V-12.

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Great car and a wise choice. The V8 in the S55 is meant to be very solid... And I love a supercharged engine!

[@marklawrence2417]

Used to have a CL500 with ABC - you should not get any body role at all with suspension set - takes some getting used to... You did mention ABC pump.

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Great car 🙂 Thanks....have had the ABC looked at now and it's all working fine 👍

[@CL500MBZ]

Cup holders in the rear center arm rest. The driver doesn't drink while driving.

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Of course! I was forgetting it's a limo 😂

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Your car looks much better than it did when you got it.

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Thanks very much 🙏

[@t.l.robinson2162]

@@Rich_Runs_Cars you are very welcome.

[@Birmingham_racing]

I think someone told it's the golden era of Mercedes and he took it too far

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

😂

[@richardwilson57]

😅😅😅😅

[@simonwright6163]

Epic car. The new wheels and 3D plates are awful.

[@Rich_Runs_Cars]

Thanks for the feedback 😂
