i love my interior and I feel it will be complete when I add the blackwood steering from Grazio-Co I have. It's way chubbier than my regular steering wheel and honestly their leather matches the airbag better.

I think this poll has answered your question... there are 12 people who prefer a regular GS compared to the 11 people who prefer the Platinum? I don't even know how that's possible. The amount of people who prefer the Sport Design (31) is more than the Platinum and regular GS combined!

Includes badging in black pearl, different 16" wheels polished, badging on the fenders and a lighter color wood.

SD GS 300 only, black pearl badging, greywood in 2002-2003, different shiftknob, chrome grill, darker colored wheels.
In 2004 it included dark tint headlights, different badging in the front fender and you did not get blackwood. Also could get a SD Crystal white/black leather.
The op never asked what they are...maybe s/he wanted to know which ones more popular within the CL crowd?

FrankWhite, I dunno what it is with your car, but it's really beautiful.

You must not have much experience with these German automakers. There is quite a bit of difference between a Mercedes Benz E320 and E55 AMG, as well as the BMW 325 & BMW M3.
