Probably not as its the last year for that body style. But I'm sure MB will offer a "Last Edition" value packaged model like they have been doing for the other out going models. Might be worth a wait.

NO that's MY2005 (may be European version?), i.e. this is the same W220 body...

2004 S500
2005 S500

I have an S500 2004 and for 2005 I believe they are coming out with a new
paint. May have started on the 2004
models produced this past spring. The big
problem I am having is getting Sirius
radio setup as it is standard on the S500
and didn't know about it until setting up
controls. They are mounting the antenna on the trunk and it looks terrible.
Let us know how you make out or you may want to start talking to your dealer.
