Just picked up an 2004 for the wife
Today we traded in her 2000 Dark Turquoise Metallic E430 for an 2004 Platnium Blue Metallic E500. It's only missing these three options: phone, parktronic and distronic. Needless to say, I will be spending a little more time over here in the w211 side, but I'm not allowed to touch her car to do any upgrades or mods.
Right now I only have the dealer shots, but if the weather is good tomorrow, I will take a ton more. I have been watching this car for a bit, it was sitting on the lot for over 70 days so we got a really good deal on her.

Nice. Congrats.
I recognize the dealership. That's where I recently purchased my '08 E63. Did you see my traded-in '07 Capri Blue E550 there?

I'm not sure I should say 
Just kidding so here is what it has
48,000 miles
in service 04/2004 (so I have a couple months or a couple thousand miles left on warranty)
added 2 years on top of the CPO so I have until 100,000 miles or 04/2011
18" wheels with Pirelli tires
So I just found a few other options we don't have by going through the manual:
Auto trunk close
Sat radio
Ski bag
obviously 4matic
I am sure I am missing some other stuff as well, but the wife really likes the heated seats.
Out the door including warranty, taxes and license: $33,500 minus the trade-in. The dealer we went to isn't the least expensive, but she was driving a 430 before so I didn't want to go with a smaller engine and the 55 would have been WAY too much for her. That will be my car in a couple of years.
Now I just need to track down the parts for the integrated phone.

Not to bring you down, but also missing Panaromic Roof, wood wheel, heated wheel... Great car though and it has some pretty cool features that were discontinued in the newer models.

Re: New E500
Congrats.
That is a super color combo, and you got lots of car w/lots of warranty for not too many $$. The E500 is a very nicely balanced package, and really does not, IMHO, need much in the way of mods to perform very nicely.
You have what look to be some type of accessory wheels (?), I had not seen them before. They do look very much at home with the Apperance Package trim.
Enjoy the new ride!

I knew I was missing a few more. I guess it isn't so loaded 
Thanks everyone, but seeing this replaced the E430 which my wife drove, I don't think I will see much driving time. Especially since this one drives so much better than the E430. Of course, I might try and steal it on the weekends
