What have you done to your E89 today

Took the 35i for its mot today and after 8 years in my ownership its just had its 8th pass with me, always serviced and repaired when ever needed although it can be painful on the old wallet.
As the years have gone and life has got busy this last year was the least I had done at only 1800 miles, sad really but all those miles have been fun and with a big with the full 375bhp and its Milltek exhaust sounds, beautiful 😍

Sounds like a great ride, no doubt youll miss it. maybe get rid of your /other/ car instead. :D
 
Folks complain about boot space on E89s as when you stow a complex 2 part metal roof in the boot the available space shrinks from 300 litres to around 180 litres.

Maybe that's why I see so few E89s with their roofs down!-:)

And oh how they whinge..

Of course adding a full size spare wheel engenders mass panic!

Undeterred at a staggering cost of £55 I've devised the perfect strategy.

If you spent a few years touring Europe on a pretty bog standard motorcycle you just take a different approach, focus and live with it.

So here it is..Amazon cheapo microphone bag, a modest general purpose bag and a bag for Christmas wreaths!

2 weeks of clothes, 12 cotton shirts, 14 sets of underwear and socks, 3 pairs of cotton trousers, 2 wash bags, 5 T shirts, 2 sets of shoes, a rather fetching smoking jacket, a puffa jacket and room to spare..plus a full tool kit, jack, spare bottle of oil, a few bottles of water and tins of pop, a car cover, first aid kit plus a 437M 9J wheel with a chunky 235/40 18 Conti Premium Contact!
