Actual E92 photos- arrived at a Swedish dealership

tkochh · 05-31-2006, 08:07 PM

A gorgous car!! But, every time I see pictures of it I can't help think "Honda Accord Coupe."

hell yes... kinda soft bubbly all over... the rear is too long.

hope it's nicer in person

this is a 328? i thought the 328 wouldn't have the chrome trim along the doors, like the e90 330 vs the 325.

Its not a 328, only 335 has two pipes and 328 isn't even made for sweden or europe only us and canada.

Wow, I've been saying I like the sedan much better but somehow the understatement is coming back here. Like the e46.

I'll concede the blandness is slight in some key areas but I am really liking the car because its subtleness now. Its a good canvas for some rims and some mods. CAn't wait to see the usual suspects (Hamman, AC, Breyton, etc) get a hold of this car.

I knew if I saw a production run Tsilver I would like it.... I was right.

Someone PS that Bisch!

the chrome trim along the windows is one of the things that comes standard on all coupes that didn't on the sedan.

The car needs a spoiler!!!

silfox1005 · 05-31-2006, 09:43 PM

can somebody try to photoshop the rear by removing or modifying those reflector parts attached on the trunk just as what they did on the 7's rear facelift...?

shragon · 05-31-2006, 10:38 PM

the real world pics make it look even better.

Robert 335i · 05-31-2006, 10:49 PM

here it is. This spoiler is awesome!!!

longtran · 05-31-2006, 10:52 PM

i think we are getting one.

Robert 335i · 05-31-2006, 10:53 PM

The trunk is too rounded!

It's going to be tough to make a spoiler that looks good.

Hula-Hula · 06-01-2006, 05:47 AM

wow, awesome!!! GO SWEDEN! lol

MoreCowbell · 06-01-2006, 07:18 AM

Keep in mind, I am referring to a SMALL SUBTLE spoiler, similiar to the OEM spoiling for the e90

There were some pictures posted here in one of the E92 pic threads of an E92 from the side and an E46 coupe from the side. The rear quarter panels aren't really any different on the E92 than the E46. In fact, the proportions are very similar between the two models.

Also, I am assuming that these pics came from a camera phone, which usually have a very short fixed focal length. Very short focal lengths tend to exaggerate perspective (there is a recent thread about that floating around here, too). If that picture had been taken with a more normal focal length (50mm or so), then you wouldn't see nearly the same exaggeration.

I agree hands down. It looks too plain. The E46 coupe was a piece of art. The E92 coupe is a piece of...not that great looking. I actually like the E90 more.

Exactly!!! I am not alone afterall. I truely truely want to love this car but I just can't. I will wait to see it in person but something tells me i'll be getting an AW 325/28 sedan.

I do like the clear turn signals and kidneys.

More important I love the transition of the lower lip (near fogs) and please do notice the improved headlight washers.

BTW: these photos are starting to do the e92 much more justice.
