Mercedes 500 SEL W140 Review & Testdrive
This Massive S-class is the W140 and really stands out from the rest of all the mercedes models. It is Just different. The build quality was just so high compared to the other brands. You could say everything after W140 was more about making money that building a quality product.
Offcourse this car has some issue's but overall it is just a fantastic car you could get these days for a low amount of money. This car in the video is on the top of the market. Very low miles and very good condition. But the price range of the W140 depends on location and engine and body type you want can go from a few 1000€ to high 50000€. It cam in 6, 8 and 12 cyl. petrol and 6 cyl diesel. long and short versions and manual 5 speed for 6 cyl option and 8 12 cyl had standard a automatic gearbox.
This car from the review is most populair model a long version with a v8. The very nice M119 5.0 32v DOHC engine . production 320/326hp and 470/480nm of torque depening on prodruction year. Still capable doing a acceleration in 6.7/7 sec to 100KPH. Dont forget this cars weight is 2010kg.
Total production of the W140 model is 406k cars and just over 26k coupe's. This car had a nick name of the cathedral because of it's massive size. In arabic country's the had the nick name "The Ghost"because of it's widebody apperiance. This car is 5.2mtr long and almost 1.89mtr wide. So lost of space.
This model in the review is for sale @ Henkgrooten.nl have a look on there website for more info about this car and the rest of there inventory.
Also have alook for the other cars i reviewed and project builds im doing at the moment. @ JMSpeedshop on youtube

All w140 cars had soft close doors. They just aren’t working on that particular car. I suspect there’s leaks in the air lines going to the doors. Especially cause when you opened the trunk you could hear the air hissing when the handle popped out. Also the trunk didn’t soft close when it should have. So the PSE pump in the trunk needs to be checked. You also remove the fuse for pneumatic close assist, which is located in the trunk, for a few seconds. Then reinsert and try the doors and trunk. Sometimes
This will restore the functions and you can then try each door and carefully listen for hissing air and mark which doors are faulty and get them
Fixed:)
The last over engineering S class ever.
W140 is my love and my dream car.
By the way,I still like W126 too.
Yes both are very nice
My dad bought a 300SE in exact the same color back in 1992. Same wheel, only short wheel base. I found it back 3 years ago and bought it, but it was far gone. When i picked up the car i let my dad drive it home. He hadn't drove for 3 years. When my dad died a year later, i also sold the car because it was not saveable...
Just got me a 1996 S420L a view weeks ago. Waiting to get it registrated
Oke. Nice memories. Your dad had taste. Now you can enjoy it to
@@JMSpeedshop Hey, goede video. De elektrische binnenspiegel wel nooit met de hand bedienen, daar gaat het mechanisme van kapot.
The King of all benzs ..W140 for life.
nice just saw this going down the road in my town now a video cool
Thanks
Last real and old school s class
Yes . Really. Love these style
A very nice one in top condition and with sensational low mileage! The colour is amazing. In german it was "Perlmuttgrau". Please take care on this beauty and keep it❤❤❤
Thanks for sure
This looks like I remember W140s looking when I was a kid speeding around the streets of Saudi Arabia. So clean. Those were the kings of the road in the 90s. My dad had a 92 500SEL once we moved back to the states. I prefer the look of the early ones but because of the wiring harness issues I would go for a facelifted model
Oh Yes ,! I forgot I still have My " 88 w126 560sec Beautiful ( but is in the garage for 10 years since I parked it it'going to need new tires , may be sure tune up ,...also a grea car )
Very nice review! They did the electric adjustable inside mirror so its position could be stored in the memory together with the seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors. The later W140's are with water based paint, this one is still with oil based paints which keeps better.
Yes the electrical mirror was also deleted in the facelift models. Because people broke it when trying to adjust by hand
Don't move the electric rear view mirror by hand that will break it!
I got 1993 W140 S320, everything works!
It'a real quality quality ,of what Mr Bruno Sako did ...eith card Blansh
Did anyone notice that the fuel consumption indicator is installed backwards?
Sold MY95 due to wiring degradation, even doing the engine bay loom was not enough - it's everywhere.
Got an MY97 with 722.6, superb.
Okey that is very sad . Better you have a newer model now then
It’s really just the engine harnesses that degrade. Yours must have been in extreme conditions..
Mashalla ❤
Very beautiful luxurious car
Heb twee keer meegereden met 300 diesel met de befaamde om606. Mooie ervaring
