Any option difference between 2005 and 2006

Okay guys, as the title asks, are there ANY differences between a 2005 and a 2006 S600 I have searched the web, and this site and EVERYTHING seems to be identical. I know the 600's get everything and the kitchen sink, but I just don't want to miss out on anything that could swing my opion on which one to buy. Thanks gentlemen

See yeah

PS: I only ask because I have it narrowed down to two, an 2005 and a 2006 imagine that.

You might check the MBUSA website, and compare the listings for the '05 and the '06. However, in most of the W220 series, there was absolutely no difference between the '05 and the '06 - except that for '06 S500s and S430s, some fiber optic harnesses (for the phone) were made optional in the '06 while they were standard in the '05. If handsfree phone was standard on the S600, this would not be an issue.

The S600 and the 500 did have very different specs.

The 600 came with these features as standard which were options on the 500:
4 zone climate control, ventilated front seats, dynamic front seats, heated rear seats, power rear seats, upgraded interior (alcantara headliner, Nappa leather dashboard etc.), Parktronic, leather & wood steering wheel and gearknob, in trunk 6 CD changer, ABC...

Yes, I am well aware that the S500 and S600 have very different specs. However, MRAMG1's question was whether there were any differences in options between the '05 S600 and the '06 S600.

That's what happens when you speed read, assume you mentioned the 05' S500 and S430 had the same spec and then decided I want to throw in some confusing remark
