E89 - Spotted!

[ronk]

Could this be the biggest spot ever?
Yesterday ( 29th August ) near Brummen (Netherlands ) 20 plus zeds in convoy.
Apparently they had driven from the gallery Brummen, a huge sales place for some very nice classic cars.
Shed loads of Ferrari, Jag, Astons, Healey, you name it!

Unfortunately not - we were in our friends car a on a short tour around the area and suddenly there was a swarm ( can I say swarm ? ) of zeds.

It turns out that it was a Z4 and Z3 club run, they had visited the Brummen Collection and that's where we were headed.

Spotted this at Holyrood today.........

Don't like it. It's advertising French wine.

Lol! I heard an older gent advising w young lad that it was very easy to drive. I believe it also won the race to Holyrood.

I bet that bugger doesn't need the exhaust flap mod..

Funnily enough no, it wouldn't be for you although it's the N54 (35i) it's also an auto........and left hand drive.

No v8 in it?? So that's just a bodykitted 35i yes? Surely it's been breathed upon?

Spotted a red E89 following me a few cars back through Old Marston (Oxford) this morning ~7:40. Hope you weren't in that line of cars following the Escort I blew past on the A40, no way I was following that!

There is no way that is standard. I think this might be the built in the same vein as the one owned by the famous skier (JENS BYGGMARK) who took his GT replica on the Gumball? That one is around 600 bhp.

Good find on the video.

No as I said the blue one must be breathed upon, just to what extent. Angie mentioned it being auto so my thoughts we're a tuned 35i or is, as if it gets to 600 bhp i would have thought it would have a fully sequential box hence not an auto.

If it's the 35i with optional DCT then the box could take it with upgraded firmware and torque limiting maps - it's 700nm limit factory spec. 620+ bhp supercharged M3's are using the same box and they are not going bang.

I spotted a red or orange E89 in the main beach car park in Southwold on Sunday 6th September - Was that you?
