It's a shame the E89 driver can't drive around the corners as looks to me like the M can't match it. Noticably pulling away on acceleration - and looks great as well!Z4M-2006 wrote:Interesting clip.....Shows the differences in the 2 cars...

80% of the world's population is stupid as donkey anyhow, so I'm not amazed at all...ronk wrote:TitanTim wrote:-------research has shown 80% of BMW owners think their car is front wheel drive --------

Mmm with respect I can't agree on that Tim. Not everyone wants an M and with such low build numbers, I'm guessing 400 max on the 35is by the time it's axed, straight 6, 340 BHP as stock, DCT as standard, smoother all round with an arguably much nicer interior and the folding hard top, I reckon it'll be a very sought after model like the M coupe in a few years and will make strong money. They're going to have plenty of followers and no problem selling a nice low mileage example.john-e89 wrote:. I think the problem with the E89 35i as a future classic is the Z4M, the E89 has no \\\M pedigree so will be less sought after
Tim.
Will be interesting to see in 10/15 years time, there is another factor which could help or hinder the E89 35i in its desirability or any E89 for that matter is its complexity i.e. the roof I wonder how much this will affect long term residuals with buyers giving it a wide birth as the cars get older, its not like a ragtop which are relatively easy and cheap to swap out.john-e89 wrote:Fair point Tim, however I do think the 35is offers a lot more kit which will make it as least as desirable as an M in an admittedly niche market, but the low numbers will deal with that and keep prices for nice ones strong. If there were lots more of them then yes I doubt the same would count.
....and I could well be,and probably am, talking tosh too.
It not - but a chunk and a half cheaper than the folding tin top to sort out!GuidoK wrote:The e85 ragtop is not cheap imho.
