Pretty good, for sure.

I think this is MB_Forever's video (E63 - but still) @ 3.9x

I think 2004 cars also had 160 mph, then late 2004 cars became 200mph. but doesn't matter. Also, If I remember correctly 2003 Navigation was an option, but I might me wrong(just almost all 2003 had a small screen)

Spec might be country specific.
My August 03 model has the 200mph (320km/h) speedo, Nav was standard and it has the big screen Command Unit

Fuel economy?

10-11 in the city, 18-20 on the hwy. Premium fuel only.

Most 2003 cars did not have Nav, although a few did; Presidential edition & possibly some others.

Things to look for?

At 80k+ miles, I might be wary of Drive Dynamic seats; they're expensive to repair out of warranty. The engine, transmission & drivetrain is strong in these cars; most of the expenses come from the electronic "gadgets" inside, which are all expensive to work on.

S60R are slow cars, I have tuned a shizl out of my 850R and it is faster then s60r. You will have no chances, like 0.. actually, negative
