MY 2007 v MY2008
I am currently awaiting a replacement for my 2007 TDV8 which the dealer is taking back off my hands after I discovered that most of the offside of the car is new
I was just wondering if anyone knew if the MY2008 spec was significantly different to 2007 as I might be tempted to look for a later car if its worthwhile. I cant imagine there will be any great changes given the 2007 HSE spec - but I thought it was worth asking. Cheers.FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad
A number of changes will be introduced which are summarised as follows:
• Deletion of HST derivatives.
• Deletion of TDV8 SE derivative.
• Deletion of all 4.4l V8 derivatives.
The objective of the 2008 model year programme is to continue to build upon the improvements made at 2007 model year by addressing customer feedback and learning's from launch.
