Jet Black E92 or Mineral White E93???

hyperspeed · 06-17-2011, 12:33 AM

so im stuck between two options...

ive had a E92 335 for the past 3 years, and i'll be getting back into a BMW again after my lease ends. i would like some of your opinions! It's gunna be another lease and even though the E93 is ~7,000 more expensive, monthly lease payments are exactly the same.

On one end is a Jet Black E92. Dead sexy car. Hard to keep clean, but still awesomely sexy. 400 lbs lighter than the E93. Only thing detracting is the fact that I've been inside this "car" for the past 3 years and I want a change. But hard to say no to. Car lines are so clean!

Other end is the Mineral White E93. Never owned a convertible before.. willing to give it a try though. As for color preference, I would definitely prefer this one over the Jet Black. Car is 400 lbs heavier (slug? maybe insignificant). Car has some sexy angles with the cut lines on the roof, and looks pretty good with the roof dropped as well.

Anyways, these are the two models im debating between. Vote away and definitely leave feedback as to WHY u chose which!

White e93

BluEDreaM · 06-17-2011, 12:41 AM

White e92 with black window tint and black rims... That's what I'm gonna get...

Seattle S65B40 · 06-17-2011, 12:43 AM

White E93

spyderco10 · 06-17-2011, 12:55 AM

mineral white e92, if possible

SleepyE90 · 06-17-2011, 01:04 AM

Jet black e92 100%.
The 400 lbs makes a significant difference in performance, not to mention it throws off the weight distribution. The chassis is also less rigid. (arguably)
The interiors of both the e92 and e93 are identical save for the roof switch in the center console and the extra window switch on the driver side door control panel.

Good luck making your decision

bsiciliano · 06-17-2011, 01:13 AM

I love my E93. If you live somewhere sunny where you can take advantage of it do it.

BluEDreaM · 06-17-2011, 01:23 AM

i just read the complaint about this car....now idk if i want to buy it anymore...

Why would you post that in THIS thread? You're doing the OP a disservice.

onnex · 06-17-2011, 01:43 AM

neither- mineral white e92

hyperspeed · 06-17-2011, 01:47 AM

keep em comin! lovin the feedback. i am in sunny socal so i would definitely enjoy the drop top more than any other location.

just seeing what people's feedback is towards the 400lb weight difference.

scrummie2 · 06-17-2011, 07:21 AM

So Cal? E93. Weekend drive up the PCH with the top down would make my month.

nockie · 06-17-2011, 08:55 AM

I love my Mineral White E92

Erhan · 06-17-2011, 09:15 AM

If you intend to track, white E92. If you don't, and like driving top down, white E93. Black is a PITA.

Also, if you want change, and not bothered with turbo, maybe a Z4?

BMW Fanatic · 06-17-2011, 09:19 AM

Well I'd say JB E92 for obvious reasons

But if I lived in So Cal and my first BMW wasn't an AW E90 then definitely go with the MW E93..

Good luck with your decision!

Madders · 06-17-2011, 09:46 AM

white - with black grills

mdosu · 06-17-2011, 09:53 AM

i don't get it, is this a color question or a E92 vs E93 question?

Brosef · 06-17-2011, 09:54 AM

I think you've confused a lot of people with your poll. you're asking two entirely unrelated questions:

1. coupe or vert?
2. white or black?

both are purely subjective. having said that, I'd go with a black e92.

scottz5 · 06-17-2011, 10:31 AM

My wife loves her 93 and I think it's so well rounded!

I am a coupe kind of guy but after having the vert i think its the way I would go.

both are definitely subjective, color & body style. Theres no right or wrong, I just want to get some opinions/feedback.

my options on the lot are as follows:

1. White Vert
2. Black Coupe

MSRPwise the E93 is ~7k more expensive. Leasing it, the price/month comes out to be identical for either car.

i have never owned a vert before but conceptually, it's pretty badass. just have to deal with ~400 lbs of excess weight. i think i've already made my mind up and am going with the vert, but again, just getting some more opinions.

of course, cant go wrong with the coupe either!

Any particular reason you are limiting yourself to one particular dealeship? I'll bet you could find just about any spec M3 in any color if you expand your search. Just sayin.
