I have been waiting for the 500's to arrive at the dealers so I can go and test ride one before I decide on what to buy, but I have 3 AC dealers within 40 miles of my house and none of them have received the 500 mrp's yet. They have the TBX and the TRV in 500's, but not the MRP.
Are there any out there or is it just my area?
Also in your opinion is it worth waiting on the 500 or should a 400 be just about as good? From looking at their site and reading here and other places it seems that the 400 specs. are identical to the 500's.

The 400's specs are about the same.The only difference is the 500 has just a little more power.

 

the new 2004 500i s are worth waiting for larger rear tires (radials now) and the 500 has the new digital dash

I like the new dash and tires.I cant wait to see them on the 04's in person.

 

Well I ended up buying a 2004 500i 4X4 Auto on Saturday, since all I will be adding are front and rear mesh racks from Moose Utility, a Kolpin gun case and mount and the Warn Winch and front bumper, so the MRP wasn't that important to me after all. I looked at the 2004 2up and the TBX and neither of them had the digital instruments. The dealer said just the 500i's, the MRP and the 650's will have the digital pod, the rest are the same as before. It's been raining ever since I picked it up so I haven't got tp ride it a whole lot, but what i did get in sure was nice. I'm a happy camper.
