I'm not sure what tyres the 35is comes with as standard though but they must be better?

The 35is comes with runflats that arent fantastic. With both on the same tyres I estimate the 35is would still maintain a 15 second lead atleast around the nurburgring!

Being a geek it would be interesting to see some reviews of both the oem tyres, you would think the newer run flats would be better than the old contis? I think the contis were released in 2001?

I am not sure it matters much.. they are both great cars, and that roof on the e89.. thats just pure sex on a stick.. you have a roadie and a coupe in one car... that my friends is just AWESOME!!! I quite like the shape too and can only sigh that the ///M boys have never given this car the M treatment it so much deserved.

Would i buy one? Sure!! I've looked at one several times.. would i sell my Z4MC for one.. Heck NO!!! :rofl:
