08 vs 09 E63--differences?

I searched & couldn't find any definitive info on this board about any mechanical/interior/option differences between the 2008 and 2009 E63 sedans.

Would anyone care to educate me, if there are differences? I thought I had heard that MBZ had altered the transmission **** speed, etc just slightly.

And no I'm not talking about the new 212 '10 E63.

COMAND is much improved in '09. Built-in BT, 40 GB HDD, SD card reader/music register, etc..

I don't think they changed anything mechanically in the engine or transmission, but like somebody mentioned, the COMMAND system and entertainment "gadgets" were improved
