They have a few tuft tests which I don't think I'd seen before but the smoke trail, to me seems like the kamm should be worthwhile.......
My odometer no longer works either but seat of the pants feelings about cross winds, gas mileage, down-force and other characteristics can still be commented on with an opinion. Heck I know when I'm down 1/4 quart of oil or down 10 lbs of air in my tires by feel alone.

Not much of a point of going through these exercises in form without some observations to go along with them in my opinion.

Regarding the link, great link now compare your S-Class to it's contemporaries to gain full appreciation of what you have. Not all notch-back looking sedans are so graceful with the air upon release at the rear window area.

EDIT: Can you rig a pull wire to your trunk release?
