S-Class (W223) Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223) Facelift

Fun fact, these were originally E-Class All Terrain wheels.

Mercedes have the best wheel designers.

Mercedes have the best wheel designers.

They could come up with even crazier stuff imo. Just like that new S-Class wheel. It looks so detailed and intricate. Sometimes they tend to use the older wheel designs over and over which I’m not a huge fan of, but still.

These are one of the craziest!

Too bad they’ll be hard to clean though.

If you have a brand new from factory S class, you'd have someone detail them for you.

With all it’s interior flaws, it still drives like an S class. That alone is a reason to buy it. For long distance drivers the S, as a package, is the best, there’s not really an alternative.

Oh yes there is. A superior package even.

Pretty alloy design but a touch to0 sporty for an S450. Reminds me of these allows.

My thoughts exactly. More in keeping with AMG models.

I get the impression that with the FL they gave the S a sportier look than before, and with the 7 they did the opposite.

I see what you're saying, but I've been loving the athletic look of the W223 facelift. To me, it suits the less profile of the car. Similarly, I used to love seeing a W220 on sporty 5 spoke wheels in the 2000s.

Off topic, but this is probably the most beautiful S-Class, IMO of course. It just screams elegance, status, gravitas and class. The early-mid 00s were such a good time seeing these beauties roam the street in great condition.

It was the prettiest car inside and out, especially next to the stodgy, brick house W140. The rest of the W220 wasn’t so good.

So the problem was the build quality & electronics? Not the car?

That is the car, but no it looked and drove beautifully.

Mopfs are fine BTW, the pre Mopf is much worse.

Back in the early 00's, some years before I retired, a client of mine had a W220 S600L V12 in a deep, dark metallic blue. Very refined, subtlely elegant automobile.
