IMHO either its the silver grills with the factory front strakes (which I do not like) or black grill with strakes removed..FWIW

I had to look up strake

Yes it’s a strake in the terms of an aerodynamic device…although in this case like many on cars ..G29 anyone…it’s a faux strake ..that IMHO is enough to destine it to the rubbish bin..

One of the ‘value added’ marketing gimmicks to differentiate the 35is from its almost identical sister 35i..

I always thought the grilles on the 35i were identical to the 35is i.e. alu matt and all other E89's had the ones with the chrome surround and black middles. Save the highline edition cars which had black on black.

It's currently that hot in the UK that I've just started to use a sunshade in fear that the extended leather dash will start melting

Here in the South United States you need a sunshade in the summer every year

 

[livfreely3]

Black cable would have elevated it further?..

No no…blend in to the scenery better

 

[livfreely3]

Any link to the sunshade ?

Here is the link and in the USA a great price

No 35is strakes are unique ..the other strakes are set at a different height..

I kinda like the black look and was thinking about going that route on mine.

Interesting, never knew that. Thank you

Found some sun shades on aliexpress so thought i'd see how bad it could be for £35 and can happily say its ok
