2008 M3 vs 2009 M3

HI
I was wondering if anybody knew the differences between the 08 and 09 M3?
Like HDD based Nav system and things like that?
also, just a side thought, is the torque really that bad on the m3, or can it still knock you back in your seat when you floor it.
thanks

you dont buy an M3 if you're looking for a torque monster.

Do you feel this with a GT3? Seems like the HP rating is the same.

i know on paper that the m3 doesnt have much torque, but i hate to sound stupid, how can a car with low torque, have a quick 0-60 time?

The 09 M3 has the new idrive. (who cares. U didn't buy the car for the idrive) The E90 M3 has a facelift tail lights. The CDN version will offer homelink. I think that's about it.

I am selling my 08 E92 M3 2500KM, Fully loaded. PM me if interested.

Because the torque comes in early. 90% of torque is available at 2000rpm.
