I would go for the E89 over an E86. I actually prefer the rear end and light of the E89 and roof down is what these roadsters are all about. E89 over an E85 is a different matter. It depends if you want more refinement / space or a slightly more traditional, smaller and lighter roadster.

An insult to my Yamaha loving brethren.

Surprised it's not a vid from the US, who seem to lap up these snippets of genius along with buying a hormuz bound tanker full of snake oil.

Ram Mounts are always top quality.

Yeah, an old one but probably more common today than ever. An elderly friend had two idiots turn up, one distracted the owner and the other dumped oil in the intake and over the engine bay. The owner got rid of them pretty quickly and called the police, who as usual failed to follow up in...
