  • Reliability (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    The M113 engine is famously robust, but the car is plagued by complex hydraulic suspension leaks and sensitive electronic modules.
  • Maintenance (1)
    1 out of 5 stars
    Operating costs are very high; specialized repairs for the ABC system or the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) can easily cost thousands of dollars.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Ahead of its time in 2005 with features like Distronic and Keyless Go, but the early COMAND infotainment system now feels extremely dated and clunky.
  • Comfort (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    Superior ride quality and a silent cabin with the hardtop up; the multicontour seats remain some of the most comfortable ever put in a grand tourer.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 5.0L V8 delivers effortless torque, and the Active Body Control (ABC) system keeps the car remarkably flat during cornering, though its weight is still felt.
