You have to respect it, this is someone that loves that 200K piece of engineering as much as you, most of the styles are unique on that poster and it's not like it's a riced up car so stfu. People are doing worse to these W140's and E38's these days, abused mechanically and some drop them when they get a big bill, don't hate on someone who's going to keep up such a nice car. It's rare seeing any of these cars, we see a lot of them in Japan on BenzWorld.
As far as W140 vs E38, I love both but E38 lacks a bit in the interior but it's a great car.

My grandmother has had 5 S-Class Mercedes, all bought new ('98 420SEL, '95 S420, '00 S430, '05 S430 & '07 S550) & I've had one ('82 300SD).
Her '89 & '95 were the only 2 I never got to drive (too young at the time). I do remember the '95 being a really nice car to ride in.
It'd be a tough choice for me between the W140 & E38. I think the E38 is more the driver's car, which is appealing, but I've always been more partial to MB.
W140 S600, yes please.

Well since we're reviving this, I guess i'll put my .02 in. E38 with the M-Parallel's is a veryy handsome car, wouldn't mind owning one. W140, and this may upset some of you, is to me my LEAST favorite S-Class. The styling is so bland and uninspiring. I will take the dictators' vehicle of choice and go with this:
The almighty W126. May not have aged as well as the W140, but it has immense road presence and it stands out in a good way.
I'm somewhat impartial though, my uncle has one thats been sitting in his garage under a tarp waiting for somebody to come do some restoration on her..

Same as my W123 240D until it got rear ended by an F-150 in the rain.
