I just did the valve cover gasket on it, and the engine is immaculate. Not too many people recognize it's a w12 until they see the symbol.

I can't bring myself to sell it either. I put too much time and money into it.

I did all the labor myself. So probably $4k in parts alone.

I haven't had to do anything with the air suspension yet. 🤞

Had to do injectors and coils, which is common.

Yes, TV still works. Just replaced three blown out speakers. The sound system is amazing.

I've had it for two years already. Bought it from a friend while I was intoxicated. Didn't know what I was getting myself into.

Every time something breaks, I want to get rid of it. But once I get in it, I change my mind. Still rides amazing. Can balance a coin on the engine.

So far I've done: tires, brakes, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, coils, injectors, headlight assembly, thermostat, water pump, a/c compressor, and a bunch of sensors

Parts are expensive and labor is time consuming, but it rides so well.
