What is the difference between E90-vs-E92-vs-E93??

ersin · 05-21-2008, 02:40 PM

Obvious differences?

E90 - sedan (4 doors)
E92 - coupe (2 doors)
E93 - convertible (2 doors, one folding top)

ersin · 05-21-2008, 02:41 PM

Other differences? There are lots of little ones. Give me a couple of minutes to compile what I know.

Do me a favour, E: five in a row.

Best regards, south

ersin · 05-21-2008, 02:46 PM

E90 vs. E92:

o No "ambiance lighting" in the doors of sedan.
o One door pocket in the sedan front doors vs. two (including a fold out one) in the coupe.
o Smaller ///M badge on the back of the sedan.
o Different gill in front fenders. (Search for a picture)
o Split folding rear seat in sedan is an option, standard on coupe.
o Carbon fiber roof on coupe is not available on sedan.
o Moonroof is no-cost option on coupe, $1000 option on sedan.
o Rear shade option includes rear side shades (manual) on sedan and this option also costs more on the sedan.
o Space gray not available for sedan, but reports are it will be available '09.
o That automatic arm thing that hands you the seatbelt in the coupe is not in the sedan.

Did I miss anything? Can someone else chime in on the convertible?

The difference between E90 and E92 is 2. The difference between E92 and E93 is 1. The difference between E90 and E93, well that's one we are still trying to figure out.

Anyone with a Sedan has a picture of what it looks like. I know it looks pretty cool on the Coupe.

The ambience lighting here is the two little orange lights by the rear view mirror, and the two little orange lights in the middle of the roof, all of which cast an orange glow around the cabin.

The E92 and E93 have EXTRA ambient lights also, which run along the top of the doors and the rear passenger cabin.

The coupe has some extra ambiance lighting in the door that the sedan does not have. I'd like to see a side by side picture of it too.

e93 has the sexier seat bottoms.

Davinhci · 05-22-2008, 11:48 AM
