Good question.
I've seen the engine bay of an SL600, and it was so tight that it'd be a nightmare to work on, and the mechanic who was working on it agreed.
I have never looked at the V12 in a W140, and you'd have to assume there'd be more room to work. Heck, it should be similar to a V8, but with two more cylinders.
The V8 has a 90 degree angle. Anyone know what the V12 is? 60 degrees?
