Have we reached the point where all the faults that can arise with these cars has been reached, just as it goes out of production.
eg wheels, lights, roof, pumps.
The killer could have been very unreliable roof.
But generally seems ok.

What will BMW learn regards the next model.

Absolutely nothing!

You missed one BTW, electric handbrake that needs "software upgrades" - as in it was never fit for purpose! If it ain't broke, etc......

If there ever is a replacement I would put my money on it being more PlayStation than the E89 - so definitely not for me thanks!

I'd save a load of money and buy a relatively analogue V8 Mustang if I had that sort of budget. :driving:
 
. Is the e89 a success for BMW ? The e85/6 seems to have been and was a well regarded sports car with slightly Marmite looks.I think it's aged well and is a great second hand buy.
The e89 certainly has the looks and if it was given a cosmetic/tech makeover it could have stayed in production for another couple of years. I assume BMW didn't think there was enough demand so haven't done it.
 
I think the E89 is basically suffering from a diminishing market

Interesting stats. Can't believe how many TTs the've sold. Obviously just me that can't abide the ugly little pushme pull you. :wink:
 
Here in the states, the Corvette owns the market. They sell more than all the Porsche and Bmw sports cars combined. Even so, the total market for two seaters is not very big anymore. BMW and Porsche have become SUV companies. The plant here in South Carolina where the Z3 and Z4 started out, now builds over 1200 SUVs every day. That is a years supply of all the 2 seaters in about one month of production. It is one of the largest manufacturing plants in the world at least until the one in Mexico is fully opened. I am actually surprised that BMW is bothering with a Z5. Next up is the autonomous drivers.
I will be driving a roadster.
