I finally got my 550 last night. It had been setting at the prep center in GA for 2 1/2 weeks. So far I like it better than I thought I would. Even the wheels don't look so bad.
It has a very different feel than my E6 550. Seems quicker but more isolated from road and outside. One I drive it a few days I will report more and include pictures

Yes it is the light wood trim. With everything black, I wanted a little more contrast. Actually, the light wood in my X5 looks better.
I will take better pictures and post tomorrow.
