by looking at the pic, that e60 doesn't have SP, NO NAVI. Dont be fooled by the screen. The car with NAVI should have larger screen, and DVD drive next to CD drive. 04 and 05 used the same engine. 04 doesn't have bluetooth, 05 does. isssues you will be looking at in an 04 are: Active steering malfunction ( i dont think that car has A/S because no SP) passenger airbag indicator and system malfunction (dealer will replace the sensor underneath the seat for free even if out of warranty) creaking door seals (trust me almost all 04 has this issue, dealer replace the seals and use teflon tape to get rid of the creaking noise) harsh downshift 1-2 (dealer will update trans SW). www.e60.net will be your best friend (if Admin feel the need of removing the site i posted please do and I apologize.) and next thing you know, M-Tech kit, M6 wheels, Quad exhaust, M5 conversion (without the M5 badge though) I know that will happen for sure. Cheers.

Thanks for that info, i had a look at the car, it looks brand new. It does have active steering which is fantastic, but it has something called radio nav, which has no map just this gay arrow that i dislike. Im also looking at a 2002+ C209 Mercedes CLK, i think i may go for the CLK, just for resale value.

Just get a 05 or newer the E60 is a great car.
