Is this an E90??

For the folks who are interested in the tech stuff.

Found this webpage from Bosch and the picture used on this site looks like an E90... Just thought it is interesting that the company supplying the electronics is using a E90 picture on their website. Maybe the E90 is one of the first to use this LIN bus.

No, that's an Audi.

A4, I believe.

sorry, that may have been too sarcastic....but seriously.....that looks nothing like the E90.....take a close look at the MAIN points.....front end, grille, lights, sides....rearend....etc etc...

I actually do drive an E90 (took delivery last night). Just thought the picture looked very much like an E90 except for the "roundel" taken out from on the hood.

Look closely at the headlights.

Its definitely an AUDI.

Looking at it again, it does look like an A4. The antenna looks a little like the dorsal fin, so I was thinking the E90.

I must be tired... Was up late last night reading the instructions manual, and setting up the car.

I think it is meant to be an androgenous car....kinda this and kinda that...that way it doesn't impinge on any copyrights etc. AKA a knock up.

Looks like a Chrysler 300.....but again...who cares...right?

Not a problem... Somehow to me, it resembled an E90 when I first saw it. Maybe it's because I was told the E90 uses the LIN bus. Funny sometimes how additional information can confuse the mind.

Absolutely correct.

But they're trying to hide an A4 (maybe an A6?)
