Maybe we'll get lucky and see Imola Red return on an e90 ZHP, or ZHP-LIKE e90...

I don't know that I would buy it though, I love my Imola Red, but I'm most likely keeping the e46, I dunno about having two Imola Red's. I love the color, but would probably get a blue to compliment the red...

You mentioned a "metallic" red, maybe they'll give it the special metallic red they are putting on the e92 M3's. I might consider that since it wouldn't be the same color. I didn't like it at first (the metallic red) but its growing on me...

Thats not correct, on E92 Msport you get 18" and optionally 19"
The wheels on the E92 in the first picture is not in the E92 brochure at all.
But they do look like the standard 16" you get on bare-bones E90/91s... Or aftermarket.

E91_E88_E21 · 03-26-2008, 10:01 AM

Kiwirobbie is right it is the standard m wheel in 17" for e90 e91 model

ChrisM135i · 03-26-2008, 11:27 AM

lol The E92 in the back of the first photo has the 16" winter-wheel with the styling 154!

@E90: Kiwirobbie and you are talking about the 17" 194M of the facelifted E90 sedan. But the quote from Kiwirobbie was about the E92!

One way to find out. Place the car near my g/f, and if you hear some popping sounds, it's bubble wrap!

jeez guys, find out what you talking about before you post with such conviction. they are standard msport 17in wheels you get in europe. European msport 18s are different style, with kind of thin spoke in the middle between the split spoke. DOnt know if you can get them in 19 btw, I dont think so but someone can check with realoem.com if really interested.

See yourself. Last pic is what you get on STANDARD model.

I can't decide if I should get an '08 in July/August or wait and get an '09 in Sept/Oct? I wish they would hurry up and release un-camo'd shots... What's the big deal, it's not like it's and all new car!

If it's no big deal to you, then get an 08 and skip the wait for the 09. I for one, don't like the mustache (especially on any color other than silver or white) and would wait for an 09 if I were in the market for one.

I'm planning AW and my first mod will definitely be a matte black grille, but I'm just wondering what OTHER differences will come in '09. I think I might end up liking the new m-tech front end better than the old one

I won't make a final decision until more '09 m-tech pictures come out. Has anyone heard anymore rumurs about the bump in HP for '09? oh well, patience is a virtue!

maximka · 03-28-2008, 03:17 PM

it`s mine second car :P

nusevad · 03-28-2008, 03:23 PM

Interesting, i like how it has the E92 grilles now.

Bimmer335i07 · 03-28-2008, 03:40 PM

I don't see a moonroof on that car. So, will it be an option now?

I know that many members on this forum did not want to have the moonroof, just so they can have more headroom.

I think its always been an option across the pond, I doubt it will be an option here. Your see'ing a "european" model, which usually differ from "US" models...

the alloy wheels aren't the standard wheels
to get the shown rims you have to pay 660€(at least in germany)

the wheels you get for free:

Tallest · 03-29-2008, 05:21 AM

yup, but i took it off uk site, they dont have the metal wheels there. It depends on country - i know back home they give us alloys too, but we dont get the sport pack in the builder, so i wanted to use the one which had it. And being in english, bit more intuitive. German site also loads slower for me for some reason!
