Moving up to an E89, which one?

[Smartbear]

I was reading up on the 3.0i last night, and one thing I can't seem to get confirmation on - do all of the M-sport versions of the E89 come with adaptive suspension, or was it still an option that had to be specced as extra? Just asking as I like the M-sport bits but not the adaptive suspension.

I think the 35is had it as standard but on the other models it was an option?

If you want a 3 ltr manual let me know
Ive got one sat in my garage that never gets used...grand kids!

Easy solution, trade in the grand kids

As your E85 was an auto and you haven’t specified any particular gearbox I’d go for a 35i or IS with DCT, you’ll be amazed at the difference to the E85 auto, it’s on a different planet. As Tomscott says the E89 is a great GT car, it’s no sports car but it does it’s job very very well on non run flats and like him I think the DCT suits the heavy 3.0 twin blower E89 very well. For day to day running and touring it’s fantastic, but if you like a pure blast around twisty roads it’s lacking the thrill of a lighter manual car. As always horses for courses. Best of luck.
