Thanks. This info thread will be a work in progress. For now I'll leave the more comprehensive lineup chart up.

No Sparkling Graphite?

[Brett]

You would think the Ultimate E92 coupe / E93 Cabrio Information thread would atleast have a picture of the E93 Cabrio, or mention of it being a hardtop.

This thread is E92 bias, j/k

I am thinking you meant to have the release date say, 'September 2006', not 2007, right? Or is this car really going to be release 17 months from now?

I prefer the 335i with ZSP, naturally, but I'm not feeling the wheels we see on the 335i pics. I much prefer the 5-spoke design seen in the living room picture.

[Uli_HH]

The new E92 coupé seems to be an nice car...but I prefer the E90 sedan...because it´s the more compact and sportier car..."E92 Coupe is 2 inches longer, 1 inch narrower, 2 inches lower but uses the same wheelbase length as the E90 Saloon..."...E92 looks more elegant but less sporty as E90...hope for the M3 E90 sedan as the perfect sportscar...I would change my M3 E46 for it...as early as posible...
But I have an problem with the published interieur pics of the E92...seems to be, that E-Drive becomes standard in the E92...but in one pic the E-Drive Button is shown without the navi-screen...can anyone explain me how this could work...or is the pic an bad photoshop...
