I probably won't add an exhaust to anything but the D4 and it would be a valvetronic unit

12.3 quarts of oil and a W12 only filter on top of 3 underside shields and almost no one is willing to touch one of these cars so it's dealer only. You also can no longer go to most VW dealers so you are paying Bentley techs instead as they are the only place you can have a lot of things on this car worked on.
Here are some more pictures
Highly advanced suspension, looks totally modern
This is why you don't have idiot shops work on cars like this....owner had a local \"German shop" replace the trans fluid for me before I got the car since it was almost due (3rd time he's had it done)...
So the other shop stripped 3 bolts, broke one off in the case, and used a generic seal and filter with the seal massively over tightened and deformed
The pan is hella easy to get to as well so I don't understand what the issue was????? It even has a removable cross brace and bottom access fill plugs for crying out loud! My D4 Audi is a PAIN to get to the pan on and I didn't have an issue!
Engine is tight but no leaks, access is quite decent as well. I'm probably going to replace all clamps out of fear

Got annoying news about the coding for the intelligent lights and the automatic start in individual and engine stop start off. Apparently the server they have to use for the W223 has changed, and now the coding I want done would cost $1,700! I paid maybe $400 for the S560. Trying some other sources but no way I'm going to pay that...
Got my spoiler installed. I will post pictures.

You can turn it off every time you start the car, this is coding it so that it stays off and you don't have to do that every time
