You’re killin me!!!! I love my ‘08 1er - but the increased - by far - functionality of the iDrive and the better screen would have been awesome! Alas, I’ll suffer through with my current 135. :o)
2009 1 Series to Get Revised iDrive
Sections: E81/82/E87 1 Series, Technology Jul 17th, 2008
As we reported awhile back the 2009 1 Series will indeed get the thoroughly revised iDrive. Bringing it in line with the 3, 5, and 7 series, the 2009 1er will also feature a larger 1024px screen that gives a traditional (in the BMW sense) split view and offers much more screen real-estate than previously available. You can check out pics below.

Heh I feel almost bad for your suffering GSK, heh. Poor guy has to go drive an 08 135i. 
A very nice car, but can say looking forward to seeing it with the upgraded iDrive.

In place of the new iDrive you will have “Year one of the one” around the start button and a coffee table book. 
oh and a bunch of smiles from the miles !

What about the coffee table book? When do I get that? I’ve not received it nor any indication that I get one - no pun intended.

About BimmerFile
BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.
We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.
In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
