Wouldn't that be in direct conflict with the UK press release? Doubt the US or the E90 and E90 M3 would be a different but parallel model/production from the rest of the world. I'd trust a BMW press release before I'd trust the dealer, they want to sell what they have available NOW.

"In September 2008 option 609, BMW® Professional Multimedia Navigation system, will be revised on the following models:

1,3 & 7 Series"

It makes the most sense that the 2009 E90 LCI update would include the updated interior with new iDrive, otherwise we'd see a separate exterior and interior LCI. But who knows, Bimmerfile has stated elsewhere that there is a surplus of 2008 cars in the US so that may have influenced BMW's decision.
