Good grief, run away....I'm afraid of the complexity of MB and BMW V12's...I have enough trouble with V8's. I was told that on the BMW V12, they basically siamesed 2 inline 6's, and instead of making one engine management copmputer, just took the existing 'puters for the 6's and added one that made them talk to each other, so instead of potential trouble with 1 system, now you have 3 that can crap out. There is a reason old V12's are so cheap. Look at Jag XJS's too...can't give them away because they are so complex and difficult to deal with.
