The confusion comes because the turbo coolant system is run by an electric pump after the engine shuts down. People think this is a separate system but it's actually drawing engine coolant to run it. I just reviewed the technical data so please don't argue.

The S63TU technical data document is posted on this website, I don't have the link handy (I have the document on my computer now). They actually do a good job with pictures and diagrams separating out the different systems.

Summary:
DME's and intercoolers have their own (2) electric waterpumps and a reservoir in the middle/top of the engine. This system does not utilize a low coolant sensor in the reservoir, but the pumps will shut down and store a code and display a message if they sense they are pumping air.

The engine and turbos run from a separate system utilizing a mechanical pump AND electric pump (to continue cooling the turbos after shutdown). They run off of the reservoir located near the firewall. This tank does have a coolant level sensor.
That is interesting.
