W210 E55s: Request pre-purchase advice on '99 and 2002 e55s

Well our beloved "Betsy" has gone to car heaven after valiantly saving my wife and 8-year-old from harm in a rear end collision. Now I am considering the AMG cars listed above. Apart from the CAN-bus system limiting what I can DIY (compared to the '96 E320) I would sure appreciate any info about weak points, maintenance headaches, and owners' wisdom on these cars.

TIA,
-Tom
