Differences between pre 2005 and 2005

Looking at several SL's. I'm leaning toward a 2005 due to newer COMAND, but are there any other major differences between pre 2005 and 2005 model years?

I know this is somewhat of a vague question, but I'm super familiar with W211's, just not these dune buggies. Yet

Also, any specific "GOTCHA" years for this model. The 2003 W211's were bad, real bad.

2005 SL 500
The Comand went to DVD in 2005.

The look of the shifter was modified.

The pre 2005s had IPOD hookups in the glove box.

The was some kind of air button above the Comand that was removed.

Just a few things, perhaps other can add on.

When did the 7-speed for the 500 come on - was that pre-2005? Lost track!
Yup, COMAND went to DVD and a bigger screen.
