The part # is older than the one in my car now...so, there must have been a stop in FW revisions at some point and then they restarted? For point of reference my old unit said "sv50-0142 when I checked it. "

So, is it possible that a cd player from the end of '00 would be compatible while my orig one from the end of 01 is not? The SW revisions say it is, but I find that hard to believe. Thanks for any additional info.

It's possible as BMW sells the radios refurbished at the part counter. The best way to verify would be to connect the Sirius receiver and see if its recognized.
