Dilemma: 08 or 09?

Thinking of buying a 335i coupe but I've got some decisions to make...


Choice #1 -

I can take advantage of the 0.9% financing now for this particular 2008 335i coupe:

TiAg / Black
Steptronic
ZPP
ZSP
Heated front seats
Ipod adapter

*Can be had for invoice ($43,500)

Choice #2 -

Order a 2009 335i coupe to my specs which are:

Montego Blue/ Saddle Brown
6MT
ZSP
iDrive

*MSRP will be around $47,500 before any 09 price increase and APR rates should be at 3.9% or higher.

I want the 0.9% rate (who doesn't?) and the savings between the 08 and 09 with interest included comes out to be around $4k to $6k depending on the discount available on the 2009, if any. The trade-off is that I cannot get the exact car I want but I do save around 5 grand between 2 similar cars.

Obviously, I have to make my decision by Sept. 2nd when the 0.9% offer ends and at that point - it'll make more sense to order a new 2009 model.

Any inputs? (Tough choice huh? A BMW twin turbo coupe or a BMW coupe with 2 turbos )
