Thankfully you have a warranty since water cooled alts are very pricy, I would however be honestly surprised if it's the alt since they normally last a stupid long time. I have a W220 customer who has 320k miles on his 2003 with the factory alt still!

Looking online, the alternator for a W222 S560 is certainly priced as though it's water cooled, but I don't actually see the coolant fittings in any of the pictures I can find.

You got me curious and it looks like it's an air cooled unit except for the V12, that's surprising! Normally you start to see water cooled when you have serious amp demands like on any W222

Only the phantom interests me since the others don't isolate you the same way and are so slow/boat like to drive vs Bentley they don't appeal to me. If I'm not going to drive a car I want it to be as smooth as possible with a better rear seat than fronts. Otherwise I want it to drive well since I'll be doing that

So they’re keeping it through the weekend. They don’t know what’s wrong with it, my guess is that’s code for “we didn’t look at it”
Im at the BMW dealer lol

Brought an i7 home. It does fit in the garage, barely lol. Took the family out in it and let my wife drive it, they love it. My daughter and I took it back and drove a 760. If I go that route I still have a lot to think about EV vs V8. The i7 is really something else.
My daughter found a beautiful 2020 Alpina B7 on the showroom floor in Alpina Green she says is her “dream car” lol
They’ll have it all week next week, watch and see.
HAHA exactly.
The wraith is a poser rolls?! What about a Dawn?
Ghost and Wraith are no longer on the 7 Series platform.
