I have been wanting to know this for a while, and I should have the answer soon. I am configuring an E320 Bluetec for EuDel and there are no more build allotments for 2008 models. The first batch of 2009 models will roll out on 31. July, and I am waiting for the dealer ordering guide for the MY2009 to see if any extra options will become available, although it is rumored that there will not be a designo package for the 2009 W211 (something that I find upsetting, I have instructed the dealer to find all designo espresso bluetecs in inventory in case I cannot configure what I want). I will post as soon as I have more information.

Haven't looked into designo options yet, but the 09 in the US will have AMG Sport Package as a No Charge option, and the upgraded electronics and media interface that all models except for the CLK/S/CL will be receiving. Assuming the AMG Sport will not be available on the Bluetec version...

So I guess the next question is - will it be installable in the 2008-back 211?
A nice high-res screen would be nice and new maps, but if it is hard disk based that would do away with the need for the DVD drive in the trunk of existing NAV cars.
It will probably keep Steve from MBenzNL busy for a while!
