Correct, but that’s why all statistics are normalized. Especially in the auto industry. You would take your total claims divide it by engines produced and multiply it by 1000. This would give you a number of claims per 1000 vehicles. This way you would be able to take build volumes out of the equation.
The AMG version always felt like a cloak-and-dagger engine. I've worked in a Merc dealership and have never seen one. Still, the regular M120 is a beautifully smooth engine. Great video as always.
With out doubt, one of the best engines of all time! Something I would love on an engine stand in my workshop, as I don’t have sufficient funds for a Zonda at this point
yes can't wait to watch this in its entirety! M120 is a complete legend, one of those overbuilt beasts (like the 2JZ) that only got phased out because of emissions
All mafia guys in 90s Russia drove w140 (called Kaban which means boar) or 7-series (called Bumer). Those who has s600 were the most respected and feared mafia bosses.
Bro your amazing with your informative videos thanks you thank you 🙏🏻 but one small correction if I may the biodegradable wires were done away with starting from 1995 not 1996 so it only effects the 94 and below model year car just to clarify
Awesome video bud, next season we gotta get together and go for a cruise. I could take out the old man’s gt500 or my motorbike, get all the boys together too. Kyle
I have a Mercedes Benz 1997 S600 COUPE and i love it very much and its very reliable i also have two 1993 600SEC but i need the wire harness for one wound anyone know where to get that from.
It's actually an easy engine to work on and maintain, just needs a rewire 👍 It's cheep if you work on them yourself. I am using one for my V12 supercar project 😎
The M137 was less powerful but it was much lighter, making the V12 S class faster and more economical overall (which is what matters in the real world). Also, other than the badly designed coil packs which failed quickly (theres a fix for these now), the engine is more reliable than the M120. It doesn't leak oil as much, it doesn't have failing wiring harnesses and throttle actuators, and it is much easier to work on.
Almost the pinnacle of automotive engineering. Barring the Porsche 911 turbo S. Can you guess what they have in common? Easy; German engineering at its finest.
