2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia, 2008 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, 2008 Mercedes-Benz S550
The reason is simple ! The S Class is just sooooooo beautiful ! I did consider S550 2 years ago when it first came out, but at that time I think speed is so important to me, so I bought the E63. But after I bought the 997 Turbo, I realize I don't really need 2 extremely powerful cars at the same time, so I think replacing the E63 to a S550 is a right decision I made ! When I want the speed, the 997 Turbo is in my Garage waiting for me !

20+ to list......
That's probably the cleanest S550 I've seen to date. I hope I can be as wise as you, because I can never overcome performance with luxury.

Stunning wheels indeed. Did you lower the car? If so, what module and by how much?
I know you said that with the 21's the ride does not feel all that differnt, but how much road noise do you hear? How much more. I am contemplating the 20" Brabus MB E's and am a little gun shy at this point

Ditto on the "don't tint". It's an awesome sight the way it is now.

...wish my garage could have those big 3, but I'll settle on your pics of the Range, 997, and the W221 as my current wallpaper.
