curious how I'd tell if my car is a series 1 or 2 ??

 

LOL...Series 1 04-08 Series 2 -09+

 

Judging by your signature, you have a Series 1, a 2004.

Here's a series one..



And, a series 2.



The series 2's have a facelift, the gauge cluster's a bit different, and a various amount of other features.

Year by year changes...

Just to clear something up for the OP - Series goes by the year the car was made. There were no "Series" for the same year (May be confusing 'Series' for different trim options?)

 

Is it reliable? If it is, it's a series 2.

 

Ouch, dude, haha.

Wait... Does that mean my 2004 is a Series 2?

(OP, I'm being sarcastic, just fyi.)

 

hahahah
