The e89 was plenty good. I love mine and get complimented almost every time I drive. The e89 how ever was released during one of the worst financial crisis in the states, and a a convertible isn't exactly a "need" car. Its usually a 2nd or 3rd car.

I'd also relate poor sales due to the price. It rose every year. I purchased mine with all options for 65k in '14, but the last year of production would have put the car at 10k + which is absolutely ridiculous.

btw I was also looking at an F-Type, but to have one equally equipped was 92k, and it would never have the same storage space, or refinement. I hated the fact the navigation is so low in the dash.

long story short, don't know the e89. Its a great car, just at the wrong time.
I like the car other than the lack of headroom. Loved it with the top down. The current price is stupid I agree.

It was the first DCT car I drove out of a hand full of cars I had access to while meeting with BMW executives in ATL eight years ago.
