Mine is a 23i, love the sound, plenty of fun and 99% of the time ideal. Just felt a few times that I’d have liked a wee bit more go but it depends how often you’re going to drive it like you stole it the only thing I’ve felt is that overtaking in 3rd it’s run out of revs a few timesBig Bad Boris wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 9:06 am Thanks guys, I have approached the dealer with various questions about the 3.0i referenced in the OP, nothing back so far.
I was asking about the 2.3i as there seems to be a lot more of them around, so the chances of finding the right colour and spec is much greater Also moving up from a past it’s best e85 2.0i either version will sound and feel better. Must admit though, owning a BMW with a straight six 3.0 is on the car bucket list.
I know that I will be moving on to one with a more power at some point. I like the E89 because of the tin top so it’ll likely be one of them.
I’m not actively looking because as I said I love my 23i, when something comes up within budget that catches my eye I’ll consider changing then
