There was a detailed thread on this in the 209 section.
Some other changes:
Re-designed center stack with blue lighting
DVD based NAV
Sport steering wheel
The amg rims on the 500 get a restyle and grow to 18's so maybe the 55's will get a new design too?
The 500's also get shift buttons on the back of the new sport wheel, the 7G and dual exhaust outlets.
A face lift for all 209's is due in MY 2006.
There will be no kompressor.

Thanks RJC,
The changes are a particular concern to me because I wasn't happy with the 320 and traded it in for a 500, paid the difference plus about 1500 canadian dollars for the depreciation, i drove it for almost 1300KM....dealer was very understanding and said ok...he comes back and tells me, sorry sir, no more 2004's available..your 500 will arrive in July, August at the latest...

I actually traded an Evo for the STi.
Lastly for changes to the 05, it would be nice if Benz actually covered the door pulls in leather. I can understand the plastic center console, but plastic door pulls is just plain wrong in an $75-$85k car.
Get the F* with it MB.

AMG BRED,
Thanks for the pic of my interior! I know that was not what you were trying to convey, but it served two purposes!!!
I think I am going to be very happy with that interior.
