Just bought a E89, why are there so few posts here

I just bought a 2011 e89 3.5is. Why are there so few posts here on that model?

They are not necessarily targeted at enthusiasts and are a bit too expensive for most enthusiasts to own at this time. Limited aftermarket, not lots of people DIYing them yet... Ill own one eventually... Once they go down in price a bit

i completely understand.
my thoughts:
it's newer
less affordable
more computer controls
a "complete package" just like it is... have to change a lot to change anything

I sold my E89 a few months back, couldn't wait to get rid of that P.O.S! I've owned 38 BMWs and that was the only one I completely hated. It literally was in the shop more then on the road.

Bye-bye E89, don't let the door hit ya' in the ass on the way out!!

Outta curiosity, what issues were you seeing? Forum traffic on the various boards seems to be pretty low, and for the standard turbo motors, I'm not guessing many issues beyond what you see in most of the 3s and such.

I also own a 2011 35is and love driving, and even just looking at, mine; but it's quite unusual for me to see another one on the road. And mine is pretty trouble-free, so I'm not online looking for problem analysis/diagnostics (knock on wood). I visit the forum once a month or so when I think about it. If I owned a MG or Triumph or I would spend all my time on a British-car forum, but my E89 runs great and I spend my spare time driving or on other things. The fact that I'm not here often doesn't mean I don't love mine, it means I'm enjoying it.

I agree with post above. Just not a lot to discuss. Most of these are low mileage and not in need of repair. The most research I have had to do is with battery registration and coding.
