Hi all-reading a lot of posts recently about roof motors on e85's but are the e89's motors easier to get at?

If it failed I'm guessing it wouldn't take long to replace?

Yeah, a wise move... I'm sure there will be something else though... Fair few wheel / light / leaking issues in the e89 forum IIRC

andy, where are you new wheels then?

I don't mind an E89 by the way prices are going :P but as Adamski they have other issues, did you not follow all the hassle roofless went through :cry:

I like the way you changed my quote :poke:

if I only I had space to keep my E85, definitely buy an E89, specially with the finance deals they are doing at the moment.
