The question is, will I regret buying an E89 35is and parting company with my 3.0si coupe?

no, because you will see the light, literally

depends what your after, for me the coupe looks great, the e89 front looks nice, but for me i dont like convertables the rear just doesnt do it for me

but e89 will have better comfort, and be more refined

Just take one for a test drive, and see if you like it

Well is faster, more comfy and you can put the roof down.

You pays the money and makes your choice.

Swopped my E85 for a 3.5is and absolutely love it. I have had a lot of cars but this is my all time favourite. It gives the best of all worlds with comfort and performance. Every time I drive it it puts a smile on my face.

Like IRD has just said I did the same and driving the 35i puts a big smile on my face

I love my E85 for many reasons but one is the amount of luggage I can pack into the boot for a long holiday. Try doing that in an E89 if you ever want to put the top down!

I went e85 to e89.and will be going back again shortly. Wouldn't have an e89 again personally

Had both Mcoupe and 35iS at the same time.
Decided to sell the M as I just wasn't using it enough
35 is more comfortable, more refined and of course the top comes off

I do miss the style of the M and the fact that it would be appreciating now, whereas the 35 is depreciating.
Really should have kept both; but not fair as no room for both in the garage.

If I had to make the same decision again, I would do the same
Enjoy your 35iS it is the best car I've ever owned

I'd definitely want to try an E89 before I considered swapping my Coupe for one!

But I'd probably just look for an M Coupe if an upgrade becomes an option.

Fitted luggage is available that will still let the roof function

Mrs Bear must pack light - if I had gone away with the former Mrs Tidy she would have filled both of those and I'd have been using a carrier bag!

Thanks for the comments. I’ve decided to stick with the E86 for the time being. The issue is that Mrs Grumps has got a 2 Series convertible and we haven’t really got room for both now, so the E89 was supposed to be a compromise.
I have to say it seemed like a lot of car for the money though...
