Like the exterior and beige interior but i'll once again agree, I also feel the wood colour is a little light.

It sounds like you're pretty serious on this car, if you don't mind me asking, is your S550 your only car?

The S550 is my only car. I am at a stage in my life where one luxury car is more than enough too satisfy my lust for them. If I was to "shift gears" totally then yes the XK would be my next toy....

Understandable, one luxury car is probably enough
