Monaco Blue E92 M-Sport photo request

Mk23 · 06-20-2009, 04:13 AM

Hey guys, lately I have been pondering getting the Mtech front, back and rocker panels to replicate the M-Sport Pkg. I was wondering if anyone out there had a Monaco Blue E92 with M-Sport, if so could you please post up some pics? I am still trying to decide if the look is worth it or not.

Thanks a bunch.

my friend's wife has car msport in monaco blue and having seen it in person i can only tell you that it looks amazing. it has tan interior and same wheels you got in fact. Good luck with finding pics but trust me it it looks much better than non msport.

Yeah I am thinking of doing the full kit sometime in the future, I love the M Sport look, I just havn't seen an Msport Monaco Blue E92 yet.

I don't understand why BMW NA doesn't allow the selection of the Msport pkg with monaco blue. I think it would look great!

They don't? I guess that would make my car that much more unique.

True, the M-sport kit is limited to alpine white, space grey, black, and lemans blue (there might be more, but I can't recall them now)

You've already seen pics of my car so I won't post

JaysBlueE92, Cgillio, and bigprimp are 3 other members with m-sport monaco E92's. nj3232ci has the m-sport sideskirts and rear. I don't see why BMW doesn't offer monaco for the m-sport package; it looks like a popular choice!

Here are some old pictures of my E93. Don't have too many current ones.

Beautiful. I really want some more side and rear shots though. I just can't get enough.

I am mainly concerned about your comparison of your 335i and E350.
How is the handling, performance etc of your W211 E350 vs E93 335i?
Thanks.

I am afraid you are comparing apple to orange.

The W211 E350 (mine is a 4Matic that also has sport suspension) is a luxary cruisier with firm handling, and the Goodyear F1 Asymetric tires (replaced the stock Conti Pro Contact) made it even firmer, but it is still not the same as my BMW 335i (also has sport suspension) or even my old E60 530Xi. It is perhaps closer to the C5 Audi A6 Quattro that I once have. The W212 is supposed to have much improved suspension but I don't believe it can be as sharp as BMW. If you truely want handling compariable to BMW you need to get an AMG.

Performance wise the W211 E350 in S mode is close to the 530Xi in D mode. In C (comfort) mode it doesn't feel particularily quick, although the car is actually not slow - it just feels more relax. There is no comparison to the fast and torquey 335i. Again, if you want great performace you need to get a 550 or an AMG.

Again, we are comparing apple to orange. The 335i is a fast sporty sedan/coupe made for spirited driving, and the E350 is a luxary sedan for more relaxed cruising. They do not cater to the same market. BMW is the ultimate driving machine, and the 3 Series aims at the younger (20 -40) crowd. Mercedes is the ultimate luxo cruiser and the E Series is more for people in their 40's and a little bit beyond. I am 49 and I happen to enjoy both, each for a different reason.

From reading postings on MBWorld.org forum it appears that people who like sporty handling often can't stand the soft air suspension that comes standard with the E500/550, rather have the conventional spring/shock suspension of the E350. I don't know whether the same holds true for the W212, may that be sedan or coupe.
