Hi All
Old member from Maidstone coming back to the forum, having had my e85 for ten years, which I loved, I finally decided I would treat myself to an e89, a nice mineral grey 2.8 M Sport. I have actually had it a few months and thought where is the best place to get some info and the best advice,, so here I am

Hi Russell, how are you finding the e89 experience?
Hopefully as it’s a newer car it won’t be rusty for some time :D

Hi Russell and welcome back. I have a 35is in mineral grey and I love it. Enjoy the hardtop version and as you know all e89 owners are just waiting to give you advice.

Hi Smartbear
im loving it, comparing the two is a bit hard as I love them both for different reasons, one thing I do miss is that 3 litre straight six sound, but, as my son is driving my old Z and its still parked on my drive, I can always pinch it back for an hour or two :D

I agree, the sound is not as addictive but they certainly go well 8)
