    Great to see the sights as I've never been to Benidorm before. Love the fact you highlighted the old town with the more traditional pubs etc. Be great to also hear your experience of Spanish culture/ language/ food/ people: What was your favourite Spanish dish/ Spanish group? (So much more to explore if you ever go in the future than the British bubble that Brits tend to stay in. I find it fascinating that us Brits are quick to criticise foreigners coming to the UK who don't integrate and learn the language and then we go to Spain and do exactly the same!🤣). Look forward to checking out other vids (Quick edit: A lot of the cheapest places to eat in Spain have some great food, so it's not always the case that cheap food=bad food. Also - those folks singing looking pretty miserable - I'm guessing that working in the heat of the day in Spain is anyone's worst nightmare! It's only us foreigners who are mad enough to be out and about in the heat of the day. The locals are literally only there entertaining us - cos we are! I've spent time in some great places that are a bit less touristy in Spain where the locals get out early in the morning and then avoid the heat from around 12pm/1pm/2pm onwards - and then come out in the evenings when it's cooler).

      Thanks for commenting. The Old Town is the closest you'll get to 'traditional Spanish' in Benidorm but it's still some way off other places such as Seville. It depends what you want from the trip. Thanks for watching, I'm still relatively new to UA-cam and just did it to learn something new, stay connected to the world my kids live in and have a hobby.

    I really want one. My only major issue with it - and this might be an unpopular opinion - but I actually like hard-top convertibles, and this only comes in soft top. I think hard top convertibles look equally as good as soft tops. Never understood why so many convertible people say soft tops look better. Do they? I don’t necessarily think they look better. Just different. Particularly living in London, a hardtop just feels more secure. But that boot space in the G29 is really amazing (for a convertible). I don’t (and won’t) have kids, so I don’t need to worry about 4 seats. But the E89’s boot is crazy tiny, and the G29 has a really good sized boot.

    • @michaeldoesstuffs
      @michaeldoesstuffs 12 днів тому

      Check out my other video for a comparison. My advice is, go and sit in an E89 and sit in a G29 then decide. We just came back from a weeks driving across France and I’d rather be sat in the G29. If it’s a daily I’d go for the G29, if it’s a weekend car then an E89 is fine. The hard top is good, but complicated and it’s known to break, plus it adds a lot of weight (which is why they removed it). That said, I like the idea of a hard top due to the reasons you mention. Pluses and minuses to both.

I like the look of both of them, and couldn’t afford a G29 if I wanted one right now. But could afford a well maintained, low mileage second hand 2017-year E89.

Benefit of the soft top is the boot space is uncompromised. Which is a real benefit. Agree a hard top has a different look but the profile of the new soft top is pretty much what a hard top equivalent would look like. I think they’ve done an amazing job on it.

    Very nice video you made there! But take off the stripes mate :) just IMHO. Still congrats on your purchase. Also, if you want to you can find someone to program / code for you that the windows go up after roof folded down. I speed up the operation by coding that the windows don't fully go down when opening the roof in the first place, but only as much as when the roof is closed (1-2 inches perhaps). Then you can also have the ASD (Artificial Sound Design) deactivated by having coded it. I did it because the ASD gave me a headache when driving with the roof up. Oh and wife also said that I bought myself a mid-life crisis car ... :0 and we did a CH, AT, IT roadtrip in the second year we had it. Great experience and you'll have fun I'm sure!

    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 😂😂😂

    @15:20 The issue here by the looks of things is the sheer volume of product that you've sprayed onto the paintwork. There is so much on there you are just chasing the excess around and smearing it over the paintwork. The key to this product is _less is more_ Have a read of the instructions again and you will see that 2-3 sprays per panel is all you need. In the video there is a lot more being sprayed on, and that is why you will be having issues. Shake well. Work on wet or dry painted surfaces in an area no larger than a shoulders width apart. For dry cars: Spray sparingly directly onto paintwork or onto a clean microfibre cloth or applicator and spread. For wet cars: Spray sparingly directly onto paintwork and spread with an Autoglym InstaDry. *Two to three sprays per panel is sufficient, no more than two on smaller panels.*

      Yes it’s not standard. But the 30i had twin exhausts on the left, the 35i and 35is had one tailpipe either side. If you have a good aftermarket exhaust it should sound great but never tiresome on the motorway.

    I had a 30i in red for 3 yrs and just got a 40i also in red. White not my thing. In black the whole car disappears - works really well on other models (2 series) but not this one. Love the red and have had a lot of compliments from complete strangers! Love the car, great fun and very versatile - equally happy around town, on motorways or B roads.

      I think the m40 will be the next upgrade once I get bored of this. I agree on the black, that’s my view also. I’m about to meet my friend in his E89 and we’re off out into the countryside then a pub lunch, can’t beat it!

    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.

      Yes, San Francisco Red. It’s one of those colours that looks different in different light conditions, but I love it. If you’re going for a brand new one check out the purple and grey colours, they look really nice. Red is the best of the older models in my view, but appreciate everyone is different, they’re all nice to be fair
