View Full Version : E92 is here!

I've only put 10 miles on it, so I can't really comment much on the E92. Here are few observations from my drive home tonight:
-The "new" engine feels quite a bit quicker than the 325i... not sure where this comes from, but the car seems to pull a bit easier.
-The cabin feels larger and very "open"
-Rear vent windows no longer open... I miss this feature.
-No more MPG guage... it's about time!
-Pretty good handling in non-sport form, but the tires don't seem very eager to grip (though they only have ~40 miles on them)
A few other thoughts:
-The standard wheels look very small... something about the design doesn't look right
-Back seat has good legroom, but a bit tight in headroom.
-Very big trunk
-Creme Beige interior is too light, I wish they had gone with a more traditional beige.
I'll provide some more comments later this week/next week after I get some time in the 335i with Sport and a 6-speed... I think this is the configuration that more of you are interested in.
I'd say that it's definately worth a trip to the dealer to check out the 335i in the next few weeks...
That ass is just SO much better looking than the sedan.
That really does suck about the rear window vents.
I swung by my center tonight and asked one of the sales guys outside if the coupes had come in yet. His reply was they would not be in until sometime in Sept. :rolleyes: I knew I should have gone inside and talked to my sales rep., but I did not feel like getting out of the car.

One of the dealers here in CT has a few 328's with 335's to follow.
I'll have to grab a few minutes during the day and check one out.

That's the tail that should have been put on the 6er. I think it looks great! But geez, it's really begging to be lowered.

looks good.
(everyone mentioned the wheel gaps already)
That's the tail that should have been put on the 6er. I think it looks great! But geez, it's really begging to be lowered.
I think the tail is the least interesting part. Looks generic and Japanese. From the A-pillar forward, it's a nice looking car. From the A-pillar back, it looks like it's about 12" longer than it should be, esp. in the rear overhang area.
Those wheels do look ludicrous, but that's been true of small wheels on every "flame surfaced" design.
I agree that the interior color is too light. Reminds me of my dad's old Lincoln Mark VIII, with a white leather interior. Can't drive the car after labor day.
Not feeling it, but am happy that they are putting the turbo into the only mildly less offensive sedan.
EDIT: Just noticed the thing about the vent windows not opening. That sucks. Those vent windows were one of the nicest "little touches" on the E46 coupe, esp. since they were power.

They don't do anything for me.
I open them accidentally more than anything, which is really annoying because they don't have the auto close feature.

That's exactly what I've been thinking. First thought that went through my head... "Civic"

Do you have a sunroof? I can't recall; I found them most useful when you had the sunroof open, because they'd cut the thrumming that goes with an open roof/closed windows without blasting in a lot of air and noise.
Do you have a sunroof?
Nope, no use for that either. :p
I just finished playing with the Build-Your-Own at BMWUSA.com.
Two things:
- An E92 335i equipped more or less exactly the same as my E90 330i costs ~$5K more.
- I wish the grey wood trim had been available when I got my E90. It's not as stark as the aluminum and not as cheesy as the "brown" woods.
Bastages.
Sadly I don't hate it... Which means only one thing, in a year or two I'll be drawn in. But I do hate the interior, especially in that color. Damn!
The lack of lsd is not a deal killer as I'm not into competitive-level driving (and if that certainly not with a car that's as nice, luxurious and expensive as this). A turbo 6 is like a dream engine to me. Not really into v8's as I didn't grow up with them and I don't need to know what I'm missing.
If I didn't have the one car constraint, I could keep my now-perfect zhp as a daily runabout and get a fun car on top (s2000, elise, boxS, 911..). If indeed I do end up having a place in the 'country' in the next couple of years, this would make a lot of sense. If I'm still locked into NY, then an m3 or 335 will be the ticket as I need to cram all my desires and needs into one machine.

btw, i keep seeing the new IS on the street in traffic. i really like it.
i like it better than the e90 because there is less superfluous fluff on the car and it still looks taut.
i like the e92 better than the e90 (slightly), but label me as one of those hoping nowadays for the 1 series to come over. right now, the 3 series is creeping up steadily to where the 5 series used to be in terms of interior and exterior dimensions and i don't like that. if i wanted a car that sized, i'd stay parked where i am.
i want something smaller with 4 doors/2doors.
just as in the case of imagine the power the 3.5straight six would have both n/a and turbo'd, imagine the 335 motor in a car that was 3000 pounds instead of 3550 pounds. it's like chucking 2-3 passengers out of the car while driving.

Yup, I noticed the same thing last night. :eek: The additional cost is not worth it, at least not for me.

I totally agree.
My E90 lease is up in the spring of '09. I just can't imagine getting an E9X at that time. And based on the product cycles, I doubt I'll be getting ANY BMW. Maybe I'll end up in an S3 or S4. Who knows.
The next best chance of me getting back in a BMW will be for the car after the next one when a new 5er might be in the cards.
But as I'm not FC, I'm not allowed to plan that far in advance.

This was already true with the E46. A loaded E46 ZHP coupe could go north of 46K.

at least the 335i has the go to match the show for $45k. $45k for any non-M E46 is preposterous because one has to fall back on "balance" and "refinement" adjectives --words that always forebode bad things to me when they come before "power" in the realm of cars.
now 335i owners have some serious go-power.

True, though you can get there on the 335 without going nuts on the option sheet--a 335 coupe with base paint, ZPP, ZSP and ZCW is 46 and change.
I'm with lemming, though. The 330 didn't have enough juice to command a huge price premium. The 335 at least has some power. Unlike SCA, the extra 3 or 4K or whatever is well worth it to me, since my drives in the E90 330 left me unimpressed from a straight line perspective.

I am on your train as well and like the fact that bmw is addressing the power to price ratio. My only point was that price was already a factor in the E46.
I remember looking at LOADED e36 M3 coupes new in 99. I think they maxed out at 44K with all the toys including lightweights.
Unlike SCA, the extra 3 or 4K or whatever is well worth it to me, since my drives in the E90 330 left me unimpressed from a straight line perspective.
I picked up my car for well south of $40k. My 0.02, it was worth the price of admission. I'm happy with it and more so than I ever was with my E46.
I suppose many of you are spoiled on hp/torque, obviously more than I am. Drive an E34 M50 as your daily driver for 3-4 years and I guarantee that will change anyones attitude towards the E90 330.

My ZHP was also well under 40K (though the MSRP was considerably higher). For that price, it's a great ride. For someone who hadn't come from an E36 M3 and then an E46 M3, it's also probably adequately fast.
Other than the clutch takeup and throttle lag (both of which are better on the E90), I have to say that I prefer the dynamics of the E46 ZHP to the E90. Even the engine is (IMHO) better, since it has a bit more character, which gives you something to think about as you are waiting...and waiting...and waiting for the speed to build.
That ass looks SO much like a Honda, it's scary.
Fixed.
Actually, the entire car from the A pillar back looks like a Honda. And the interior looks like a Buick.
But I bet the 335 engine is sweet. No lsd though - really too bad.
The next best chance of me getting back in a BMW will be for the car after the next one when a new 5er might be in the cards.
Just out of curiosity, have you driven a MT-equipped 5 series (current generation)? I posted some comments about the car in a thread last week, and found the throttle, clutch, and shifter to be so much better than the E90 and E46. Enough so, that if I was to ever consider another BMW, I wouldn't even glance at the 3 series unless I had to meet a certain price point.

I agree regarding the price being so high - in the mid 40's for a well-equipped 335xi
That gets you into Infiniti M35x and Acura RL territory, both are great cars that might likely be cross-shopped by the current BMW demographic.
In fact, Acura RL's are selling so poorly, I'm seeing used examples with under 10k on the clock going in the high 30's.

3 series shoppers are not the RL and M35 type I would not think. More G35 an TL crowd, but I get the price comparision. I would more worry about them cross shopping the base S4.

Infiniti M cars are selling terribly. But in general, Japanese luxe don't hold their residuals like their non-luxe Japanese cousins. it's funny to me.

Agreed! I bought my ZHP for $37,900 and feel that it was the best car for my money without having to spend $25,000 + higher insurance + higher maintenance on an E36 M3 OR $48K + higher insurance + higher gas bills on a new E46 M3. As for the new 335, I dont know what my current position is on it yet. Althought doing a Euro delivery of one with a price around $39K would be VERY nice.

Lem,
It comes with the sports package suspension as standard, my guess is if you kept the options light, went with the new 6 speed manual and stayed with the 17 inch rims, you'd have a car weighing in at around 3300lbs.
That's 300 lbs heavier than my current car, but somewhere between 150 and 200lbs more than my previous E46.
Handling is way more important to me than power (I also like good fuel mileage) so the 230hp engine should suffice (besides, like Nick says, someone will write performance software for it).
Then there's the reliability demon of the unproven (at least for BMW) twin turbos.
I really like the Z4's zip, 0-60 in under six seconds has become intoxicating (and I still average 22-24 mpg, thanks to its 'light' weight), whether or not slightly more power in a larger heavier car will be "fun" is open to question, but I'm getting tired of driving my wife's Outback Wagon almost everywhere we go (nice car that it is).

I still think an e46 330 would be more fun to drive than a e90 328. Torque is noticeably higher, weight is lighter. The e90 has a very dampened, almost audi-like feel. It's a capable chassis that will need lots of power to come alive. It's fine in 255hp form and above. The e90 325 which you found lacking is going to be very close to the 328.
Have you ever HEARD an S54? :ack:

Scoped it out today. Dealer had 328 JB with creme-de-la-creme beige. Don't really care for the that interior color. Coral red would rock with JB.
Real scoop here is I really dug it. :eeps:
I didn't ask for a test drive, mainly because it was a steppy.
They've addressed some of my discontent re the front facia by rounding it a bit. However, the amber reflectors on the front fenders is just cheesy and goofy looking. The backend looks pretty good, too, but to be honest I have zero problems with the rear of the E90. Yeah, it's bland, but so is the rest of the design IMO. The rims on the 328 really reek worse in person than in pics, and they look pretty bad to begin with in photos.
I have no real interest at this time in a coupe. I figure if I'm just going with two doors, then it has to be a vert. Unfortunately, the initial spy shots of the new cab don't look very promising.
I real hope lies in a 335 in a mid-life facelifted sedan, or a ZHP type package.
But that's probably at least two years away.

I checked one out today and I have to say, i really liked it - it looks really good as you walk around it, from every angle it sits just right.
Even the back end looks right. It also doesn't seem large at all, in fact, it seems just about right.
The car also has the "it" factor I liked so much with the E46 - a difficult to articulate attractiveness that just makes you want to get in.
Unfortunately, "get in" I couldn't as the dealer seemed to believe sitting the car out front, locked, was an appropriate sales technique.
Oh well, a test drive will have to wait.

I've got a Space Grey with Coral Red 335i coupe sitting at the port... 6 speed and Sport Package, of course... :bigpimp:
Drool...
I'm much more impressed with our second 328i coupe... Sparkling Graphite with Saddle Brown leather interior, and it has Sport Package. Now this car is a looker! I'll try and grab some pics tomorrow.
Yes, must see some pics. :D

Put a stick in this car, and I'm sold... this thing is absolutely beautiful.
I'm waiting to make final judgement until I see the Space Grey/Coral Red combo. I love red leather. But I have a feeling it is in for some tough competition with Graphite/Saddle Brown!

Nice, very nice, this is the exact color combo I was specifying at the build it page.
There is one problem, though, and that's the price - at 45, 46 large there's an alternate choice and it's spelled C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E.
And it has a "true" double wishbone front suspension ;)

Yeah, but it has leaf springs, like an ox cart, so it's crap.
When I saw those wheels on the BMW website I didn't like them but seeing them on the car makes me like them a little better .. . I got to see them in person to decide.
Otherwise the car looks good ... the 328 might be the way to go.
Nice, but I would hate to clean those wheels. My 0.02, poplar wood is too light for the interior color.
I do like the E92 335 SP wheels. I think SG/CR would make a nice combo. Similar to Mike's former E46 vert combo. That was a sharp car.

Whoops! Guess the 335i coupe may not be coming for at least a few more days:
BMW has announced today that :
FYI – the 335i coupes will not be released this month due to an EPA emissions hold. We expect to receive the certification by/around 9/1. If we should receive it earlier, the vehicles will be shipped , this only applies to the US cars,not ED cars

Hopefully nothing strange.
