I like too try and fix things myself now, but it just worries me if both coil packs were too fail or for one of those turbos fails you are looking at thousands just for parts! But on fllip side these engines are solid, it may be a car too consider when im a few years older maybe!i had the V12 in the SL600 it just rushes along. affortless. and yet you can poodle about with as little effort, and the exhaust note does get going too. IF its been treated right the miles prob not a big issue but it must be said these things can empty yr wallet almost as fast as they move . if yr in a position for that not to hurt much ,go for it, if not common sense says no,but then common sense aint much fun .i had NO reliability issues with the bi turbo V12 at all but then mine had less than 40,000 miles. as said coil packs are a known issue and electrics/electronics are always a possible big headache, i doubt if you will experience much mechanical engine bother they seem fairly bullet proof if oils and filters changed at or less than recc intervals. is that biturbo ? if so at those miles thats a risk unless already done
