I thought the suspension system in the 2000+ S-class cars, along with the 2003+ E class cars, is a different variety of "ABC" that's based on the "airmatic" setup, and not the hydraulic setup found in SL and CL class cars?
Might be talking about two different things. I have not heard many bad things about the air suspensions, but based on my own experience and other people I talk to, the hydraulic setups are significantly more problematic. That might explain why your friend got 100k out of his S class suspension, and I've already spent several grand on my SL's hydraulic suspension when the car only has 35k miles.
