08 vs 09 differences

NoSoupForU · 12-06-2008, 02:01 PM

I am sure this has been discussed many times before but I think I just suck at searching. Can someone give me a link that discusses the differences between the 08 and 09 M3's preferably the sedan?

Idrive and tailights, space grey is new.

There is actually a thread created recently with in-depth info. A quick search would save you some time despite the fact that you suck at searching.

Space Gray is not new. It was available on '08 models.

FStop7 · 12-06-2008, 11:59 PM

It's new for the E90

Subw00er · 12-07-2008, 01:26 PM

le mans blue is new as well. iDrive is new. Tailights are new (at least on sedan, right?!). I think those are the big ones.

M2MG17 · 12-07-2008, 02:58 PM

Does anyone know if you can retrofit the leds into 08? My neighbor has been asking me and i have heard that it was possible??

FStop7 · 12-07-2008, 02:58 PM

With enough money anything is possible.

I may be the only person in the world who likes the original E90 taillights.

I think they look great, especially the blacklines.

aus · 12-07-2008, 03:59 PM

Do the 2009's get the new headlights? I think they look pretty cool.

FStop7 · 12-07-2008, 04:03 PM

No

The most important change: thinner ring around start button!!

samM376' · 12-10-2008, 06:58 AM

No ipod pouch and not flashlight comes with car I think one of the pulleys had a slight change, read in another thread can someone confirm?

watrob · 12-10-2008, 07:02 AM

The carpet pile instead of going right to left now goes left to right and is 1.5mm shorter loop! and glue used is also bio-degradeable so the carpet can be recylcled!

urbo73 · 12-10-2008, 07:56 AM

On the driver's door, the build date sticker now reads xx/08 where before it was yy/08. And xx > yy.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
