One of the CA people might chip in, but I would expect no differences. The big update was in 2009, and everything else is just waiting for the new F30.

Improved ride quality, RFT's.

No changes, maybe a color or minor trim but that is it. It is a Canada only model with less content and less power than the 328 plus very few options. I had one as a loaner for a few days and other than the auto transmission it was good. I found the transmission in drive shifted too soon so the car was sluggish and in in DS it just made the engine rev too high. But you may find it works fine for you, i was driving a 335 so the drop in power was noticeable.
