I agree, very few people is interesting in E89.
From Koni web site, E89 even not listed yet after 2+ years in the market.
very few parts from BMW performance catalog

very dissappointed

I think it has to do with such a small market for our cars... I guess its not justified whereas the 3's and whatnot have a huge group

Agree. I have the 35is and it is a fantastic car. Sure it does not have the handling and dynamics of the M3 I traded, but for real world driving it is actually more fun! The numbers are pretty darn good, 0-60 in 4.4, 1/4 Mi under 13 sec and 0.91g of grip. That was probably tested by Road and Track with the awful runflats which I ditched for Conti extreme DWs upsized to 275 rear and 235 front. The car looks great and the only knock seems to be it is not a Boxster! Well I did not want a Boxster since I dont drive at Road Atlanta daily! The handling is a bit quirky no doubt, but once you figure it out you can tear up some on/off ramps and mountain roads. At least I feel I have to have some skill to drive it fast, the M3 was never going to see 5/10ths of its ability on the street. Anyway, would love to tweak it a bit, brakes and suspension, but can't find much out there. Dinan has software, but the engine is not the issue. We do seem forgotten, esp since the 1M came out, and we have the same damn engine!
