Had a W220 in the past too, was a S430... Nice car, but after that I've bought a V221 S500 wich is great! Because of some issues I need to sell the V221. Now I'm happy with a C209 and W211, but am looking for a nice V8 C219 or again V/W221.... Not sure yet... The C209 needs to leave a 2-door car is not really practical...

W221 is an incredible car. I'm looking to upgrade my W220 to a W221 but i don't know which engine option to go for. I am really tempted by the V12 S600, but i'm kind of intimidated by the costs of eventual repairs. S500 has a nice 4.6L V8 which is probably easier to maintain, so it's also an option.
Not really interested in diesel engines at the moment. My current S-Class is an S400 CDI (4 litre bi-turbo V8), and it's currently sitting at a workshop because of some issues with the EGR valve.

What issues made you sell your S500?
