Look for a late 2004 or later as the early ones aren't set up for cell phone or satellite radio. Mine is one of the first ones so no fm input to the radio either.
glad you love your e83. ended up picking up an e83 msport, and all is good. I have the extended warranty on it, so i have a couple of things I want to get checked out before the warranty runs out this year.

1- driver's window - not sure if the seal is off, but i get pretty noticeable wind noise (leaking noise) after 80mph.

2- not sure if it's due to the sport suspension, but the panoramic sunroof rattles on bumps - sounds like the mounts or something's off... it's a pretty loud rattle over bumps, etc.

other than that, gotta love the x3... the n52 motor is silky smooth, and it's a bit beefier than the n52 on my e90.
