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.
If you buy a 2000-2002 S I think it's impossible to know if the IMSB is single or dual row without pulling the transmission, clutch and flywheel unless someone else already has and documented what is in there or already upgraded it and provides the documentation for that. I think it really comes down to what model year car you find in your search that you really like. There will likely be 00-02 cars that have updated the plastic window top to a glass window top and ones from 00-04 that have had an upgraded aftermarket IMSB installed. Part of the fun is the hunt for your car, enjoy it!
