E89 tips

Post by Z4SpPD » Tue Jan 30, 2018 4:48 pm

Hey guys,

I am thinking of moving on from my E85 to a 35iS. On the section of the forum concerning the E85, there is a thread givving out the tips and tricks for the specific model. E.g. where the Aux port is, or what to check on buying the car etc...

However I can't seem to find a similar thread for the E89. Anything I might have missed?

Hi, I would beware the lumpy idle from cold syndrome as it seems to pop up here & there-it’s potentially new injectors :o

Thank you Smartbear for the quick reply,

I am looking though, a thread specific to the E89, such as this: https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15177

Mate, bottom line is, don’t buy a 35is.

None of the owners that have them on here like them. To a man(or woman) they have all stated that they would rather have a Peugeot 206CC as it has more road presence, is more powerful and handles better.
