I'm thinking about retiring my 96M and replacing it with a 2003 "Shinsen" edition. AFAICT, it looks like a sport package with special colors, but I can't find details anywhere (the 2003 brochure I've got doesn't mention it). Is there someplace I can find the details on what's in the Shinsen package?
Shinsen 2003 opinions?

6-disk CD changer with speed-sensing audio volume control, unique keys and badging.
One of the folks in our local club has a Shinsen model and it's really sweet.

All the ones I've found on the web have claim to have 5-speed gearboxes. I'll have to go check on them in person tomorrow.
None of them have 6-CD changers either -- at least not according to the dealers web sites. I still can't believe their putting non-MP3 capable CD players in $20K cars. Sheesh.
I do like the titanium/navy color combination...
