E55 question

Hey guys im a Noob when it comes to MB i use to be a BMW guy and im in the process of searching for a E55 im almost there i have a couple of people to pick from so im wondering what the the differeces between the 04 and 06 models everyone ive been talking to on the fourms indicated that the 06 was the best build model of the e55's, does the 04's not have the led tail light and all the goodies that come along with the 06? Thanks in advance for all the advice that you can give guy! from a anxious and eager soon to be e55 owner

The steering is upgraded on the 05 and up vs the 03-04 but I wouldn't pass up a good deal on a really clean 04 just to buy an 06. According to drag times of all of the stock E55's listed the 04 & 05 dominate the low et's! The four fastest stock E55's in the 1/4 are an 04 & 05...

03-06 look the same from the outside, you will only be able to tell the difference by looking inside.

2003 No Navi, 2004 1st yr of Navi, 2005 & up has the 200mph speedo and Aluminum pedals. The center console also changed I belive in 05 or 06???

You will probably be dissapointed in the NAV from MB...most people say it is worthless.
