Performance Pack / Tii for 2009 E92???

After some searching and reading about the 2009 E90 face lift and some speculations about the E92 changes, I am looking for some more affirmative information. I know it may not be out there yet but does anyone know of any performance parts/packages/Tii E92's coming out for MY2009?? I am trying to decide whether it is worth waiting for or just order the car as soon as possible?? And I'm speaking of the 335i btw. Thanks.

No one knows. Probably though, as the 135i and 335i share many components.

Life is too short to wait for anything. Get the car.

well if you really want to wait to get the "latest and greatest", the wait will never end... dont forget that the longer you wait to order an e90 or e92, the closer you will be to the end of its life span... german cars typically get replaced with a new model every 4 to 6 years... and the e90/e92 has been out since 2006 so a new model is due not too far away. i say dont keep waiting...other wise ur new model isnt going to be very "new" no more.

I thought the only reason they called the 135tii that was because they didn't want to call it an M1

I've only read specualtion on the Tii designation for the 1-series (Turbo I4 maybe??). BMW won't bring the Tii do the 3 as well. To be honest, I don' see where BMW can add much more HP on the 335i w/out really putting a crimp in M3 sales (unless BMW goes FI on the M3's V-8 which could happen with the turbo v-8 going in the X6 series).

BMW has stated "no tii" at this time for the 1 series. They were clear about that. But they have made most of the parts available via the Performance Catalog.

There is a E9x CSL expected (confirmed by spy pics) but probably not for the US market. Also there has been talk of a ZHP and/or a ~330hp OEM performance tune.

But until it is official, this is all speculation.

Just get the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you wait for an 2009 e92 then you will be kicking yourself because you didn't wait for the face lifted 2010. It never ends!!!!!!!!!!

i would just oder the car now. Make sure you get the sport package with the 18's. That way you will get the oil cooler and more performance oriented seats. With the money you would have potentially saved from not buying the tii or zhp (if they ever come out) you can buy a a nice body kit and the dinan chip. You car would be faster than the tii or zhp, still be under warranty and would have a better looking more unique car.

You probably don't want to hear this, but..

They are talking about a performance package for the 335i - but who knows if it will come to the states.

According to Auto Bild, it will have an Aero kit, an LED Tach (in the steering wheel I believe), M3 brakes, 19" wheels and 350 horsepower.

Yeah, someday it will probably come to the US. How long do you want to wait???

Can we claim our M3 differential broke, get a new one, and put it in our 335i?
