Kaleb,

The M120 motor is very closely related to both the M119 and the M104,
I believe. It's a pretty solid engine mechanically... but
electrically, well, all the M119/M104 problems apply - wiring
harnesses, EZL failure (ok, that's not real common), TBA (that's more
common), etc. There are two of everything on the V-12... two TBA's,
two EZLs, etc, IIRC. Gobs and gobs of power though. If the airbox is
anything like the M119, it just pops off in a few seconds of tugging -
no big deal. Nice design, actually.

As to the comparison to the old 600 limo, I think it's warranted but
not apples to apples. The old 600 limo requires the resources of a
medium-size country with lots and lots of oil reserves in their
deserts. You have *got* to be certifiable to own one of those things.
Now the W140, with any engine, merely requires the resources of a
large city, perhaps a small state. If you intend to do DIY work, you
either need the WIS or that new service DVD (they'll have the same
info but in different format I think), and the patience of Job to try
and troubleshoot anything (or just to learn how to navigate the WIS!).
Parts cost, well, let's just say Rusty will be sending you more than
just a card come Xmas. ;-)

If you get it, Kaleb, you need to get some fat 18" AMG or tuner
(Brabus, Lorinser, etc) wheels on there to complete the look!
Definitely a sweet ride if you can afford it. I bet the cruise works
quite nicely at the 155mph governor.

:-)

Any trouble with them?

IIRC, saying a 600 Limo (6.3 V8) requires the resources of a small country to keep roadworthy is like saying a V12 600 requires the resources of a medium sized country. Besides, who wants to pay 20 cents per mile for fuel?
