After exactly 1 year of ownership, I must say it is a blessing to be able to enjoy such a magnificent automobile.
The W124 500 series is the best Mercedes-Benz (hence best Automobile) ever built in many aspect, I congratulate all E500E owners.
For me the BRABUS 6.5 is everything I wished to see in the E500. Basically a Supercar version of the E500!

As the Carshow season comes to a close, thought I add a few shots of this season. It actually progressed in the season as well and ended in even better shape than when we won the Concours in June. Now only a couple of things left to sort out for the next season; need to get a set of Brand new Brabus wheels, and depending on where I decide to keep it a set of E500-specific headlights.

See you in at the 2017 events!

That is an awesome looking car. A great color.

Why didn't Mercedes make them all 6.5s? Then we all could enjoy the power.

6.4....a bit too elaborate and costly, 6.0 more doable and enough, trust me. They, MB should have done the Limited w 6liter and without
that interior, perfect IMO

About 2017 events, somewhere in Deutchland I would prefer and look forward to..........

Yes it will be in mainland Europe, just need to decide early next year.

Nah, the Limited should have been a 6.4 with 440bhp. That would have truly fit the name "Limited". Just my $0.02. If MB had mass-produced the parts, it would not have been that costly. The 6.0 was downright cheap since they built a bunch of them and had already done the R&D with the 119.960 engine.
