Replying to: jjwatva (Dec 14, 2008 4:54 pm)  around 78K resulting in an OOP cost of $1200 (including significant goodwill discount from dealer. My warranty cost around what yours did and it did cover the cost of fixing a busted airbag module and a few other odds and ends so that I did come close to breaking even. Don't forget warranty providers don't stay in business by losing money on them. You pays yer money and you takes yer chances,

Replying to: abuck (Dec 16, 2008 9:04 am) Changes yes, significant, no. The grill and rear have been tweaked as was the controls on the dash with 6 preset buttons available for the audio system. There are wood insets below the audio controls over the console. The inside door panels were redesigned as were the window switches. The iDrive was slightly upgraded although not drastically as on some '09 models. BMW makes numerous upgrades mechanically that are not appreciated when seen. The negative on these changes has been a poorer score for side impact collisions.

Replying to: carnaught (Dec 17, 2008 2:27 pm) Meaning the actual knob and buttons. Nothing has changed about the display or menus.
