The 2009 Brochure

Mega Man · 10-31-2008, 07:49 PM

I ordered my 135i 2 weeks ago and was looking at the '08 brochure at the time.

Today, I received the '09 brochure. There's a few extra pages to it, and just from skimming through it, looks like the '09 has an improved iDrive interface (with a knob and button in-between the driver and passenger seats).

Is there anything else about the '09 that particularly stands out from the '08?

new i drive, heated steering wheel (as an option with cold weather & something else).. think thats it? oh and a new fuel pump

: is your friend - there's been a few discussions:

Space grey is in, SGM is out, New iDrive is in, some small part improvements have been incorporated, highbeam assist has become an option, smartphone interface is now available.

That's about all really.

Edit: yeah forgot about the steering wheel - we don't get that in Oz.

Heated wheel + 135i sport pack = no go.
