Measurement

M3Monkey/// · 09-18-2014, 06:13 AM

Would a kind soul please let me know the measurement in width of the drivers side door on a sedan versus the width of the door on the coupe?
Thank you kindly.

Thank you kindly.

I wish I know as well. I am in this dilemma between a coupe and sedan and saw many owners complaining about how long is the door of coupe specially in tight parking places.

The coupe door is 13 feet long

At the crease, in line with the door handle, the front door on my E90 is 42.5" long.

Just don't park it next to other cars.

But seriously the coupe door is 54.5 inches at the crease.

One of the biggest and least expected benefits I've found of the E92 compared to the E90 is that the lack of a B-pillar on the E92 means you get far less wind buffeting when driving with the windows down. The first time I drove an E90 I couldn't believe how much louder it was than my E92 because of that B-pillar right next to my ear.

OP, measurements probably won't give you a sense of the practical difference. You should really try both, and if you'll be doing that, you won't need the measurements.

Open back windows too, problem solved.

And we don't know why OP wants the measurements, he didn't say.

Yup. Open front, crack the back a couple inches.
