Not sure if I should say anything, I may be accused of being ignorant by
the new high master of knowledge.
However being a daredevil I shall try and sneak some stupidity past the
overlord of automotive development information, guess if he catches me
I'll cop a beating with the workshop manual of the W140 (and that's
gotta hurt, especially if it includes the electronic section).
Anyway I think the gripe the ignorant so and so's have is fair enough.
The issue being that there are a lot of MB only parts on that car that
fail eventually and trying to find a part out of a wreck is a lottery,
considering that the part may fail again.
Automotive development is good when it is taken one step after another
but the leap between the 126 and 140 was mighty and a bit too far. As a
side note the W220 also suffered from reliability problems due to more
leaping.
Technology is great when it works but when it doesn't and costs a
fortune to fix it is a pain.
I have heard stories of cars being wrecked because the accident damaged
electrical equipment that is too expensive too replace, or damaged
electrical lines which in turn damaged the various computers that are in
a car.

Wow, the ignorance on this list has reached an all time high.
You folks really haven't a clue about how automotive development
works, and why an S class is designed the way they are. Not a clue.

Piss poor design by children who were totally starry-eyed over electronics.
Also suffered from stupid stuff like dual pane argon filled windows that
cost $1000 to replace when your neighbor's idiot child threw a rock over the
fence, $300 window motors that had to be programmed to work, and it goes on
and on.
