Hey there, My name is Chris.I was hoping for some help with a few questions.I am trading in my wifes Civic for a G Coupe on Monday (she is taking my 325i) I have narrowed the choices to an '04 with 17k on the odo (asking 26000) or an '05 with 15k (asking 29000). Both cars are the same color and equipped the same.My questions are:#1 I hate the plastic "aluminum" on the '04. Is there a real metal replacement and how much is it?#2 I understand there is some minor differences in the motors? What are they?#3 I have also heard the radio and A/C controlls on the '04 are a pain to operate. But is that worth 3k?#4 are there any other differences I should be aware of?

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to NICO!!

Have you checked any of our sponsors here for the dash kit?

Go here for motor comparison http://cars.globeauto.com/compare/compare.pl

I'm not aware of this AC problem you are talking about...anyone else?

Also I know the 04 have Brembo Brakes which you either love them or hate them. They wear out rather quick from what I eas told.

Hope that helps!! Post pics when you get the new beast!

Both cars are automatics. I do alot of rush hour commuting. The web site you sent was very helpful. Ive never seen that before.

Wish me luck. Im headed to the dealership

I went with the 2004. 16500 miles on the odo. Clean as can be. I love this car. Fantastic! I have been a BWM guy for a long time. But this much fun in a BWM would cost me 15k more! I'm sold! http://a8.ac-images.myspacecdn...f.jpgI don't know how to get pics to post but here is a link to the photo on myspace.
