What kind of package is on this 01 S500

In my never ending quest to find a reasonable deal on S500 I came accross this one in an add on CL.com. I haven't seen too many with the wood steering wheels, and the spoiler on the trunk appears to be different as well. Can someone tell me a little more about this trim package or where they just options??

S500's dont have ABC!!! They use Airmatics Suspension.

Other than that its the Sport Package with the Wood Interior.

It's not rare in an exotic sense or anything, its just that ABC with ventilated seats was a pretty expensive package.. for this car.. Whomever ordered this car this way was just dead set against an s600 I guess...

Nice find...

Anyone know what kind of aftermarket front grill that is? Pretty snazzy. Looks like the new jobbies!

more detailed pics of the car. I don't like the mirrors at all, nor that chrome strip between the front and rear doors. Deal breaker for me, considring how many other S500's are out there for sale

I'm pretty sure the grille, hood medallion, mirror covers, spoiler, wheels, and exhaust extensions are all aftermarket. Everything else looks OEM. The rear air and adjustable rear seats are an expensive option on the S500 (std. on the S600) as is the wood wheel and shifter (I think). You can take the mirror covers off. The chrome strip on the side may be standard on the S500. I'm too lazy to walk outside and see if my '04 S430 has it, but I don't think it does. IMO, it's a pretty good looking car except for the mirror covers, but I think they'll pop off without leaving a trace.

One more thought: this car seems to be loaded up. Between ABC and all the interior goodies, it's basically an S600 without the motor--like somebody else said.

S500
I am pretty sure my car has ABC, and I know it has ventilated seats, I have a S500 as well. I have wood steering wheel, and knob, my steering wheel is all cracked tho, kinda wish I had the regular leather one. I dont think I have any of the rear luxuries tho

I'm curious as to what grille that is too. Although I think it looks a bit too close (exactly like actually) to a W140 S Coupe.

All the extra chrome(except the grill) make it look like a cheesy rice burner especially the tail pipes. Sorry so harsh but someone made a beautiful car into a car from the Fast and the Furious movie.
