Hey, look at it this way, even though I've got a 2004.5, the free service $$ evens out with the amount of money the upgrades you have cost.

There are a lot of little differences between the 2004.5 vs. 2005-present models. The most important part is in reference to the internals/computerized parts (i.e. SAM module, MOST vs. D2B, blue vs. orange cluster, etc, etc...). Hope that explains it a little more detailed.

ya 2004.5 and the amg 4 pot are not the same they utilize 2 different size rotors as stated a few posts back, nearly an 1" difference...as one of hte earlier pics shows the 4 piston non-amg has slightly rounder ends unlike the amg version, just look at the pics!
