But the '00 - '02 also had the single row IMSB. And since I want an S, the '97 - '99 are out.

Since sales were down by then, many dealers ordered them with fewer options and then the 550 SE came along in 2004 to spice things up in its last year. You may have an easier time finding a 2002 or earlier and it may have more options than a 2003 or 2004 you find now will have unless it is a 2004 550 SE.
OK, I'll keep that in mind on the '02 or earlier.

Sounds like you're saying that a 2004 550 SE would also be a good choice if I can find one. There are very few around. I saw one advertised on the PCA website recently, but it's no longer there, and I assume it was sold. I think they were asking $20k.
