Great video man! Got an sDrive35is myself for almost 4 years now, kept it stock besides new rims (437Ms) and a DCI from BMS. It's my daily driver and you're right, it does get rather annoying in the morning commute to work since it's so loud(!) and I'm as morning a person as the next guy. But as soon as you cruise on the highway with all the road noise, comfort is a great mode to stay in. The seats are comfortable as well and the leg room is amazing. That being said, it really roars and pops/crackles with the roof down on a empty highway road at home. I love the car (probably a little too much) and if given the chance (with the push of EVs by the government) I'd probably never let it go. And just like in the video, the car absolutely roars in tunnels. The smell of fuel is also something that's very relatable 😂😂😂
The E89 is the last beautiful car that BMW made (no offence G29). I've got an sDrive35iS and it's a very naughty toy. There's only 367 in the UK, so if you see one that's the right price then it might be worth looking into.
@@michaeldoesstuffs BMW never release productions numbers. But this chap downloads all the DVLA data every quarter and puts it on a website called "howmanyleft". Can put a link because RU-vid blocks it - but there's a light blue banner at the top.
That E89 exhaust is not the factory one as firstly it has quad tailpipes (standard one has one each side) and secondly BMW didn't make it any where as near as loud as that! Mirror covers are also not standard.
I only see one roadster here. The E85 Z4. Lightweight, soft top and rawness in its drive. I agree the E89 is a ladies GT cruiser. The G29 is just too big, overweight and not that great looking.
G29 is a soft-top Supra. E89 is a ridiculously beautiful car. BMW just isn't the brand to go with if you want the uncomfortable roadster driving experience. The older ones - Z3 and E85 - there are just better options in the price range, and newer ones as well. And BMW really are money pits.
