It's a convertible model with SMG -- yes, i've decided i actually DO want SMG -- and it's literally fully loaded.

It's a 2004 model with nearly 38K miles though. However, it is the EXACT color combo I've been looking for: carbon black / black interior / aluminum trim.

Also, it's certified until 2010 / 100,000 miles.

I've only found 1 other M3 that matches my color and options preferences, and it's a 2005 model with 2X,000 miles asking $51,600 out the door, and they really aren't budging much at all.

It's Sonnen BMW in San Rafael (marin county) where I purchased my X5 back in August 2004.

Is there anything about a 2004 model that I will regret -- as opposed to a 2005 or 2006 model? Reliability over 38,000 miles? Etc?

Thoughts?

Thank you much -- if you all approve, I'll probably do it this weekend
