Now that my 09 s is three weeks old been wondering if there is anything that I am going to kick myself for for not waiting till august 31st?

 

Nope should be the exact same some are figuring the hifi audio will be changed. The minor refresh won't be out until late 2010 early 2011.

 

I"m waiting, but I'm not 100% sure why! Yes, supposed to be some modifications to the hifi, and I hear that Mellow Yellow is going away and a new white silver color is being introduced (sorry, I forgot what it was called). Other than that, the only thing probably changing is the price.

 

anyone have a month for the complete refresh? I keep checking the site but its getting tiresome looking for a new style.

 

Are you looking for the minor refresh or the all new mini? The minor isn't suppose to even be shown until March 2010

"Look for the updated models to debut at the Geneva motorshow in March of 2010 with an on-sale date late summer (the start of the 2011 model year)."

Here is what we know for 2010 so far:

- Mellow Yellow to be discontinued
- White Silver added to the color pallette
- New (better-than-HiFi) Harmon Kardon stereo option
- 50th anniversary Mayfair and Camden models (probably package options here in US)
- Tech White cloth/leather option
- Tech White color line option
- Toffy lounge leather option
- Toffy color line option

Other items such as new wheel choices, joey mod (inside of headlight blackened out), and more seem likely too

 

Is it just me, or does "Mission Control" sound suspiciously like it's BMW i-Drive in drag?

 

Go for throttle up.
NASA, we have boost.

 

It would be awesome to see them have a factory option "joey mod." I think that was one of the best looking things I have done to my car.
