E92 vs e90 + pictures

67bmer · 08-30-2006, 07:09 PM

I saw a TiAg e92 sitting next to an e90 and took some pictures if anyone is interested.

The crease on the rear quater panel where it meets the c-pillar is different on the coup.

Also, the A-pillar on the sedan has a plastic strip that covers up the window rubber, the coup does not. This is not noticable on dark cars, but on silver or white cars it is noticable on the sedan.

Great pics!! The e92 is a great looking car. Too bad those wheels are lame.

Zeroday · 08-30-2006, 07:15 PM

wow didnt realize how much lower the coupe sits.

sruzgar · 08-30-2006, 07:19 PM

I still like the e90 much better! Lots of people told me to wait for the e92 and Im so glad I did'nt!

The e90's grill is cooler!

Collanrf · 08-30-2006, 07:22 PM

Are those amber lights on the front fenders?

Good pics to compare - still prefer the look of the E90 over the E92.

sruzgar · 08-30-2006, 07:38 PM

ha ha - to each their own!

67bmer · 08-30-2006, 07:39 PM

They are the reflectors that are being debated.

I kinda like them

It was interesting that the silver on the two cars is slightly different. I think what you see in the pictures is similar to what I saw. They must be painted in different factories. I wonder if you had to order a bumper or fender if it would match your car.

beauderek · 08-30-2006, 07:42 PM

They are both magnificent looking cars! I like the rear of the e92 and the front of the e90. I wish both bodies had the same front and rear.

E394KEN · 08-30-2006, 09:23 PM

The E92 looks meaner than the E90. Yeah, those wheels look like complete garbage.

e92 will look better with the e90 grille. e92 wears the e60 grille, looks a lot lower and more aggressive than e90. definitely more desirable.

KL2DC · 08-30-2006, 10:14 PM

Very nice pics....thanks for sharing.

Jay_328 · 08-30-2006, 10:30 PM

Just wish you had taken of few of the e92 in Space Gray w/ SP parked beside the Silver e92.

edit: I found those in another post.

climkt · 08-31-2006, 01:24 AM

rear of e90 looks really old next to e92.

It appears to me that E90 looks more defined and flow better while the e92 looks more aggressive. I didn't like the design of e92 at the beginning, but I started falling in love with it later. Still, each has its own character. If given a choice now between E90 335 and E92 335, I still pick the sedan over the coupe. Maybe it's just me.

Phila · 08-31-2006, 03:07 AM

I think the e92 looks more feminine cause its more curvy and the rear looks wider(even tho its not). The e90 looks more masculine.

new2the3 · 08-31-2006, 09:57 AM

That E90 was an XI so that is why it is higher off the ground.
E90 front > E92.
