Wow. I've never seen this concept. That is sweet. Looks similar to an Aston in the rear quater panel.

bluespeed117 · 01-10-2009, 01:09 AM

i really hoped for that concept to become reality

Bimmeration · 01-10-2009, 01:22 AM

seriously... just get an e92.

jamesisel · 01-10-2009, 05:10 AM

E92 but e90 is a real close 2nd

hanmaas · 01-10-2009, 05:34 AM

E92 FTW, I wouldn't get an E90. If I were looking for a sedan, it would be an E60.

I'm glad the E92 did not end up being punished with that grill and those headlights

Aija · 01-10-2009, 05:44 AM

My vote goes to E92,

I really wish i liked the E90 more than the E92 because it would have been slightly cheaper~

ArmyBimmerDude · 01-10-2009, 06:34 AM

E92. The E90 is an ugly beast. It's not even close.

btrav1226 · 01-10-2009, 07:09 AM

e92 but i also own one. i would love to have four doors but i cant tolerate the mustache grille along with the headlights and tails ofthe e90. fwiw road and track thought the e90 m3 was one of the ugliest M's(they liked the coupe).

It was a smart move to bring the e90 m3 with the e92 front...otherwise they would sell a lot less 4 door M3s

Bingo. That says a lot about the E90's looks.

roadkillrob · 01-10-2009, 08:02 AM

The only good parts of the E90 are the things they changed to look like the E92 with the E90 LCI. BMW needs to make a 3 series 4 door coupe like mercedes or VW to give the sedan some style!

Mrbangis · 01-10-2009, 08:22 AM

e92....cuz i have one! both cars look good fixed up! but e92 looks more sporty!

now it looks better but still a 4 door!!! "for people that needs it" E92 still better!

btrav1226 · 01-10-2009, 08:29 AM

its weird looking at the numbers of this poll... by reading the thread it sounds like way more people favor the e90. but then you look at the poll results andits 2 to 1 in favor of the e92.

I'm going with the E90!

There basically the same car, just serving different purposes.
The coupe appeals more to me, but I got the sedan because I need it more than the coupe at this point.

demosthenes · 01-10-2009, 10:43 AM

I own the sedan, but the coupe looks sportier. Based on how BMW equips them, it seems like BMW knows that enthusiasts will buy more coupes than sedans.

But the sedan and coupe offer nearly identical performance, ride, efficiency and handling. Some sedan buyers buy them because they think they look better. But more buy them because it's important to have the additional structural rigidity the B pillars provide and accommodate back seat passengers (entry, exit, headroom). Others prefer the sportier look of the coupe. My brother has a coupe because he likes the bigger front doors.

The good news is that we can all get what we want.

Omni · 01-10-2009, 11:30 AM

Definitely E90. The coupe just looks too long and weird IMO. And I'm really into the balance of sport and class, plus it's really nice to have the sedan when business associates and colleagues ride in my car.

The E92 isn't bad but I didn't instantly like it in the same way when I first saw the E90. I miss it some days.

AZ-BMW · 01-11-2009, 04:27 PM

Neither!! I like the E93 body style
