Early 2009 is currently the best estimate I've heard, and that's from more than one trusted source.

My order was placed when the R56 was launched, so I've already been quite patient! And with the news that there will be a facelift, I really, really hope that they will addrss the majority of the issues that seem to remain controversial about the R56. Top of my personal hit list is the interior design......folowed by the headlights. But, considering the placing of the headlights is a major engineering issue, and the requirmeents for improved pedestrian safety, this is not an enhancement I'm realistically expecting....

Oh, and I really, really hope they will also introduce a decent metallic or pearlescent red - I am ot over-impressed with Nightfire Red.

(12 months and counting....!)
