looks nice. Wish my old '01 750iL had an M steering wheel... the standard wheel made me feel like I was steering a yacht.

06 CLS55 w/ P030, 05 Jag S Type R, 05 TBird-68 Dodge Charger R/T-440 w/4speed I'm original owner
Two different cars and different responses from each. I talk from some experience. I have an S type R (daily driver) and a CLS 55.
The XKR fits like a fine leather glove and the interior is by far gorgious (much better nav-touch screen). The SL (either 55, 600, 63 or 65) is as close to a luxury factory production race car as one can get. Much better performance in all departments.
If it is pure speed and performance then the SL is the best choice.
Beauty and almost AMG performance then it is the XK R.
The 010 XK R Supercharged will have 500+ HP. MB look out.
