35is first run top down

[James Junior]

Stop it guys you are killing me!

I'm still looking for a good one to buy as I narrowly missed out on a car that was perfect colour combo and spec. :slaphead:

All this fine weather and I could have been cruising around with the top down listening to the exhaust banging on then overrun...

You mean, something like this:- [youtube]jURBSKRvx1Y[/youtube]

:whip: Leave it!

I am looking numerous times a day and nothing is coming up on Auto Trader, Pistonheads or eBay.

I have even been absently looking at 370zs but the heart wants what it wants, so going to hang in there for a 35is. Good things come to those who wait....

I'm on my second E89 on 326Ms with RF's. No cracks or problems and I've hit some big holes! Post 2011 cars benefited from softer compound on Bridgestone's.[/quote]

Quick experiment : anyone with a 2011 onwards car had cracked alloys?

Not on Z4 but I know of a 64 plate 1er with 17" style 379 5 spoke wheels.

Good question Matt, might be worth doing a new separate thread on it purely as you'll prob get more views.

Went for a spin Tuesday night, got it warm, went through some lights and used 3/4 throttle up to 4k revs as still running it in in just comfort mode, it got up to 4k so damn quickly, banged through the gears and popped the exhaust on every paddle shift right through to 6th gear. This thing is rapid, felt quicker than my previous M, it's going to be mad when run in and full revs available, you would'nt know it was forced induction, zero lag.

Keep the faith James Junior, one will pop up, take it from me mate, it'll be worth the wait.

am presuming that you are searching BMW used cars on their site as there are a few 35is ex demo cars but they are a tad expensive. BMW are giving discounts on the finance at present rather than the cars which was the case when I got mine. Hopefully that may change for you.

As stated keep the faith it will be well worth the wait.

Indeed they do. I'd been waiting for the first hot sunny day. Sport+ mode, DSC off...

One thing that makes me cringe a little is the way you're holding the steering wheel. It's not the greatest hand position if you need to make a quick & dexterous steering correction. That said, you've got two hands on the wheel most of the time, & critically through the gear change, which is much better than a lot of people.
