Thanks Andy, seeing as you are a wee bit further north than me, do you get any problems with condensation inside the roof and having had both the G29 and the E89... anything to watch out for?

20i and 30i are both 4 cylinders offering different amounts of power (this is probably obvious to most!). The US has only ever had the more powerful 30i AFAIK whereas we used to have both versions. Suspect the 30i never sold that well in the UK market and so BMW UK have removed from lineup.

I’ve never had any problems with condensation, windows steaming up etc. I would say the E89 was slightly worse for that. Windows clear very quickly in G29. Mine has been sitting for about for 5/6 weeks in some very cold, damp weather without me even being in it. Was in it yesterday looking for something no moisture, windows completely clear etc.
I can honestly say there’s been almost no issues with the G29. Had a small problem with a power cable at the alternator, fixed under warranty the only other thing really so far is a parking sensor decided to s**t the bed. Main issue with that was it took lots of other things out with it but under warranty and fixed easily. Stones in the brakes a few times and with a heavy right foot tyres are a regular consumable.
I love mine, inside the cabin is a wonderful place to be. Spacious, comfy just all round nice, much prefer it to the E89. Boot space is also a huge bonus for us.

If you want buy can't find a 30i I suppose you just buy a 20i that is out of warranty and then do this! viewtopic.php?t=145941
I'm guessing it got dropped because it wasn't a big seller here.

I was thinking of getting SC7s too. I had heard they wear quickly. How many miles did you get from them ?Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 12:48 amr quickly
