2003 or 2004?
My dealer called me today to inform me that the production date of my vehicle is the first week of june which would mean a July delivery. He suggested I wait a couple of months and get a 2004 because of a few minor but not insignificant improvements which he didn't elaborate on. The only question is should I let him cash in on the first E55 and be patient, or should I take the car in July? I do not plan on getting Comand in the car and I plan to lease it. Right now I'm leaning toward a 2004 because it seems like that is a more desirable vehicle.

I had the exact same choice. I decided to go 2004 because of Nav and Depreciation. If Nav doesn't matter and you get the same residual on your lease, I would probably take the 2003 and start beating the pants of your local corvettes.

Go with the 2004.
It's only a matter of extra weeks and you'll spend 10-20 times longer than that owning the car and being glad you have the 2004. The only advantage to the '03 is that for a very few weeks you'll be a part of a very small club of 211E55 owners, but once the '04's arrive, you'll wish you'd waited.
If the wait were 9 months or something that would be a very different situation IMO.
