Well my dealer did order some Mar/09 vehicles in advance for their inventory - However he says on all the spec sheets, there is no mention of any changes to the equipment! He says BMW does not make such changes in the middle of a production year, and feels that any major updates such as the new I-drive will likely be in the next prod year - i.e. 2010.

I am kinda' disappointed. I might wait until March to see what comes through - It's only a month away. However the question still remains ... When does the 2010 production really begin??
