Yes nice contrast with cream leather interior pretty quick to , had to get rid of run flats so harsh a ride not sure if I'll have to do the same with the E89.RickRob wrote:Nice.

Hi, I found the e89 to be a bit less harsh compared to my previous e85 (m-sport suspension) Its still a good idea to change the runflats though as they seem prone to causing damage to wheels, especially in 19" sizes

Well to be honest I was looking just to get a newer model of the E85 3.0 but I came across this E89 3.0 SDrive mint all over & test drove it a little more refined inside & drove nice plus a convertible but with a hard top, had to ditch the run flats on the E85 due to harsh ride not sure if I'll have to do the same on this one what's your thoughts .jabber wrote:Welcome to the forum what's the reason for the move to the E89?

Hi and Welcome!
That's a nice e85! Always liked the AC Schnitzer indicators/side repeaters! May be an idea to keep em?
Look forward to seeing the new car!

I moved on from a e85 3.0 to a 2.3 sdrive and thought it was more of a cruser than the e85 and found it more of a 2 seat 3 series drive wise if you know what I mean?

I downsized to 18" and kept RFTs. Runs less harsh than 19"s. Oh, welcome BTW.
