Default Mercedes "500SEL"

Dear 500sel owners,

Just a couple of days back I had a test drive in a used 500sel and i am smitten by its handling, power, build quality and its interiors and planning to upgarde in a very big way from a 2.4ltr to a +5ltr engine i suppose. above all its at a tag of just 1.5lac (rupee approx. corelation to UAE) and its 1998 model.

Please let me know ur ownership views on this Best Selling Iconic model.

I would like to know
a) where I can get more info on this car.
b) whats difference between 500sel and 560sel
c) number of cylinders from base model to top of line
d) years of production the models have been since.
e) how is the maintenance part
f) the owner of the car says he gets an FE of 7 overall, is this right, its fine with me but something below 5 will be hard on my pocket.
G) any major parts requiring changes i mean something like ac compressor, water pump, fuel pump etc this is based on ur experince with such car.
any other info u wish me to know.

regards
and thanks
