So if you can run more aggressive offsets, then the wheel selection is different. If you can run more sidewall for the track which was my argument to begin with then the tire selection is different. It is beyond common knowledge if you start hacking away at the fender well and pull fenders out can just about "fit: anything you want. What he posted were overly stretched jelly beans with an inch of lip pulled back from the tire and poking out like mexi-flush with too much camber. If that is your thing, then so be it. But when I talk about fitment I am talking about the wheel and tires actually fitting. With the pre LCI E90s especially being larger from the get go, once you pull both to the same degree you can still go bigger on the E90. At the end of the day, its a horrifically stupid argument considering some people have different views of fitment. Some have different views of looks. That's fine. So lets throw all the opinions out the door and just go with the facts of what I stated that overall make the sedan a "better" vehicle. Until someone can post facts they have found from experience of both as I have had is all I was implying and something no one has been able to do. If you don't need the addition features of the Sedan and prefer the Coupe then buy it. It doesn't however change the pros and cons of each regardless of if they apply to you or not. We all own the same damn cars, some of us do or have owned both. Arguing about nonsense wont change none of anyone's onions so why bother wasting the time.

The most common size is going to be a 35 NOT a 30, where are you pulling that bs out of your ass from? Regardless like I said, you apparently have a different opinion on what "fitting" is... Its like if some dude came out the house with his pants half way down his ass and can barely walk in those skinny jeans, to you it still fits. I get it. I understand the concept of being able to make anything "fit" but I can easily show an example of wheel setups that actually fit as in the wheels don't pock half way out of the wheel well with an inch of rim and a super stretch with ridiculous camber and hinder performance capabilities. At the end of the day 95% (Lets be honest, its more like 99.9%) of BMW owners wont go that route nor like it let alone attempt the work to even do it. |

Every vendor on here can tell you that the most popular size for a 19x9.5 rim (largest appropriate fitting rim) is 265/30/19. On 19s or 20s the most popular front size (assuming you have 19x8.5) would be 235/35/19. How am I BSing you

Drivel is the word I'm fairly sure you meant. Your own postings provide more than ample facts to support my assertions.

I have had both e90 and e92.
What I like about the E92 is the seats come down in the back. This has saved me many times. And golf clubs will fit fine with seats down when putting in the trunk. I prefer the e92 but the doors do swing wide. Yeah so I always avoid parking next to another coupe. |

Yeah so I always avoid parking next to another coupe.[/quote] It may not be something you can do always, but if I find myself having to park next to a another two-door car (...seeing as BMW, MD and Audi happen to think four door cars are also coupes...LOL...) I back into the spot at a bit of an angle so I'm not parallel to adjacent cars. This ends up providing more space for me and for the other driver. This doesn't eliminate the potential risk, but then neither does having a sedan. Door dings will happen sooner or later. I don't do this at shopping malls on nights and weekends when the chances are much higher that there will be passengers getting out of the front and rear doors of adjacent sedans for this approach cramps the folks getting into/out of the rear of sedans. Under such circumstances, I just park in a distant, empty section of the lot or, if it's Holiday Season, I use valet parking.

I went from a two door accord coupe to an E90. Granted accord coupe does not equal E92, but I can tell you that the longer doors were sometimes a pain to open without hitting other cars in a parking lot or my wife's car in the garage. I would hesitate to buy another 2 door car without testing how easy it is to get in and out of in a tight spot.
From what I recall, E92 does come with some attractive standard equipment - sport suspension (?) and fold-down rear seats. These were optional when I bought my E90. |

Im partial to the e92/e93. E90 is a beautiful car, but if I was going for a sedan i'd just get a 5 series. I had an E90 and it was cramped in the back, so if im having cramped rear seats no matter what i'll take the car I think looks better.

I know what you mean, I love my e90 with its nice wide looking body (compared to e92) but there's no comparison between my Pre LCI e90 and somewhat soon to be LCI e92. Can't beat the front end of a LCI e92 with mtech

Looks are completely subjective, but to me, this car was meant to be a 4 door. The 4 door looks good from every angle to me, whereas the 2 door has a few angles that don't look quite as beautiful. If I were to get a 2 door, it would be to get an E93, which I passed on due to the weight penalty and affect on performance. |
