Updated iDrive on '09 US Spec Confirmed
See the following link posted by a BMW CA:
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=303302 However, there seems to be some ambiguity though as to exactly when this year the updated iDrive will be available. I posted a follow-up question, so we'll see what he has to say. |

It's unclear. I've asked for some clarification. Most CA's I've spoken with tend to think in terms of when changes will actually reach the showroom rather than from a production perspective. I'll update once he clarifies.

I thought the first production runs of 09s start in September so first deliveries would be in late Oct/early Nov. Sept early Oct deliveries would still be 08s since they would have been built in July right?

That's my guess as well, but I'm looking for some confirmation.

For the tenth time , call bmw motor works msp they will tell you that the new I drive will be out with the 09's in Sep.
This is silly that you waste all this band with such B.S. Better yet for all you folks that have an 08, CALL YOUR DEALER AND ASK. That will solve the problem, NO OFFENSE. Scott |

Please call your own Dealer and ask them if it will be on the 09's It's that simple don't you agree? If you find out tomorrow please let me know , that's one of the reasons I am waiting for an 09 instead of getting a 08 next week. Thanks |

I think we're talking about week 36+ production after the assembly line retooling is finished in August for the new MY.

that's not the point, the 09 e90 in those countries are not facelifted either. The change should come after the shut down of the factory in aug

I can care less about the Idrive, but I am interested on who wins the bet.

Also, for MY2009, we must define that as cars built after the September shut down. Some countries change model years in the middle of the model-year-proper so the specs of any MY2009 cars that exist now are not relevant. Agreed? Anyway, pending your clarifications on the above, not only will I take your bet, but I'll happily double that. In fact, we can multiply it by 10 if you want. |
