For automatics, 2003 was the intro of the sentronic paddles. Personally, having tried them on a bunch of cars,I think it is a toy. One pretty small change, but one that has a lot of impact for me, is that they redesigned the outside mirrors slightly, but in the 2003, the field of view is not as good near the outside of the mirror. It is tapered down towards the outer edges and sometimes it is harder to see overtaking traffic. Mostly noticable if you keep going from a pre 03 car to one of the newer ones, but it bugs me. I have heard that the leather inserts in the door panels are no longer leather, but not sure if that is a 2003 or 04 change.
