BMW E89 35i/is DCT

Bump of sorts....

Doesn't seem to be many e89's posted here at the moment... I guess this glorious weather isn't helping.

I've seen the below car listed (at what seems a great price) with BMW which obviously comes with the benefits of warranty etc. however there are some modifications on the car that I'm not sure of.
https://www.sytner.co.uk/car-search/14849448-dohc-bmw-z4-35is-s-drive-2dr-dct/

Some great looking wheels, although the passenger side does look like it's in need of refurb :thumbsup:

However I'm not entirely sure about either the seats or the quad exhaust (looks a little wonky, maybe just me...) Thoughts...?

Obviously if anyone here has a 35is that (fits my spec req.) they are considering selling in the not too distant future please give me a shout.

Looks nice! Looks like someone has put the wheel seats and exhaust which may well sound better than stock but I am surprised that a BMW main dealer has this in their stock, I would have thought they wouldn't be retailing a modified example. But regardless if you like it go for it!
 
I’d be surprised if it’s been sold mapped…

I’d assume they would reflash all ECUs to stock settings..

Price is low because of the mods that some will see as tacky..others may rave about them..

Not sure if the seats retain heated capability?
 
As Andy says, was sold last year. I remember the seats!

Just be careful with Sytner. They do not have a reputation for selling cars cheap, especially good ones. Certainly is a good looking motor, though. :thumbsup:
 
Afternoon all,

Just thought I'd revive this post as I'm back on the lookout for a Z4 (preferably 35iS, UK based and happy to travel the country! :driving: ).

Potentially going to look at one later this week/weekend and thought I'd see if any members are now considering/actively looking to sell their pride and joy.

To save reading the whole post for any prospective sellers, I'm after a LCI; reasonably low miles; White/Black/Grey paint; Red/black interior. (preference is in that order but will consider other options)

Ready to go with cash for the right car.

Cheers M

Hi John - no not over budget... if I recall it wasn't 'the ideal' spec I wanted and the price too high considering.

Other than top HiFi, what boxes doesn't it tick?

Top Hi-Fi is up there for sure, but I also want a stock car (if pos)... Appreciate some of the modifications made were from prior ownership etc. just something I want.

Millage is getting towards where I have set in my mind that I'd go to, although I do like the grey it I'd prefer white etc etc.

All that said I felt that the number that John suggested was just too high.

I'd let it go for £23k if that's of interest Marty. Im not actively selling but would if the price was met. :thumbsup:

Paddle shifters changed in the 2012 MY

Extremely minor cosmetic change around the switches as part of the LCI

So IMHO it’s an arbitrary restriction unless you want a Valencia orange one

There were no power changes to the 35i 35is through their production runs

Didn't they improve the roof mechanism on the LCI model allowing it to fold at increased speed or is that another urban myth?

It’s a myth…there was a change to add an extra solenoid to ensure coverage of all cases of roof closure..however it’s got nothing to do with max speed closure…that’s coded in the CTM and was progressively changed over time..original launch vehicles could not close ‘ open roof at any speed..
 
Hi all,

After a busy period both at work and home, I find myself again searching for the perfect car... :rofl:

Does anyone recognise this /has it been forum owned?
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202309081739832

Price seems reasonable considering spec... it's MW instead of AW but after waiting this long I feel like I may need to just bite the bullet and go for it!?

It's too far away for me to just go look at it, so I'd need to be ready to buy before seeing it.

Current reg: t23soc
Vin: wbalm12070j057601

Thoughts?

Cheers M

Good spec as you say..price a little toppy in the current market but unusual colour combo so for some worth a premium..low miles for the year..

If you want it have it.. :thumbsup:
