It's all change

[Jollyjoiner]

Well this all happened so fast it's still a blur.

So a quick brief. Been looking at e89's for a while now thinking that I'll swap one day for a 35i or 35is. Well at the Zfest I decided I may as well pop a for sale sign in the window and test the waters.

Well a nice bloke did take an interest in my beloved motor and had a look round it. Then got in touch again and came on the Wednesday evening to take her for a drive and came back grinning. Price was agreed (way to cheep) and he drove it away that night. I was a little in shock that it had gone

Well one thought one best start and look seriously for a replacement. A local garage happened to have just the car for me a 59 plate 35i dct so I went and had a look and a drive in it yesterday and the deal was done. So picked it up today and I'm a dog with two dicks. Turns out it has a Miltek exhaust on it from the middle back and it sounds soooooooo gooooooooood

So things to do, needs a wind break and the rear runflats need taking off and swapping for some normal tyres. That will do for the time being.

Pics of what I have gone from / too

Two lovely looking Z4s OP.

But a 35i with a Miltek should help you get over selling your E85!

You'll get broken bones when I see you pal

Yes I never really gave silver a thought until seeing this one and it's growing on me now, I think it shows the curves off nicely.

Was never a bmw silver lover until I saw Mr Wilks E89 in silver . Now love em. Good choice and happing hooning.

Smart looking car. Like the wheels too. I love the additional comfort and refinement of the E89.

Well nearly three weeks down, 560miles and £150 super unleaded since buying the 35i and all I can say is I'm loving it.
The power delivery is so smooth and the DCT box it fantastic. I seem to find my self driving in D with sport or sport + and then manually changing the down shifts with the paddles to get the engine braking into corners and the pops a burbles from the exhaust.
