It isn't an easy task and I'm sure wiring harnesses, modules, etc. will have to be replaced as well but if one plans to keep the car for a long time, could be worth the initial outlay. That being said, in the case of the w220 the air suspension was just one in a long list of niggles - especially the pre facelift variants. | |

One of my colleague here in US did that. He switched his air suspension to coil over and removed all the sensors associated with that. He said most of these engines are bullet proof but all the funky gadgets and sensors made these cars a timebomb after the warranty period. |

After all, all wrecked cars (exotics or not) end up gathering dust in a police station or junkyard somewhere. | |

| ![]() Audi R8 supercar found abandoned in Goa We rarely get to see high-end supercars on our pothole-filled roads. Only a handful of these cars exist in India, and one of them, an Audi R8, has been left abandoned in Calangute, Goa. ![]() The car has a damaged bonnet, a dislodged front bumper and a broken front headlight. The supercar is finished in white and has black wheels and red interiors. From the comments on an Instagram picture, it is believed that this is a 2012 Audi R8 powered by a V10 engine. It is said that the car was involved in a drink and drive accident. It is always saddening to see exotics abandoned like this. Source Link to Team-BHP News |
