Yeah, I'd feel better if he spoke to BMW NA and it was 100% confirmed through them.

US buyers also typically want the latest and greatest in tech (if not everything) so I would think BMWUSA would want to offer it for '09. So it doesn't make sense from a financial, operational/logistics, or marketing perspective if you ask me.

Yes, it would only makes financial and common sense for the i-drive change to be across the board...but BMWNA sucks so I could see them blowing this one.
