The E93 has gone - Long live the E93 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Oil Burner · 03-14-2012, 07:35 AM

So after just under 4 years, and 75,000 miles (and I have been overseas a lot in that time, so when it got driven it was circa 1000 miles a week) the old E93 was returned to the lease company this morning - to be replaceed by... Yep a new E93

after trying out various options SL, SLK, A5, TT, C63 came to the conclusion that as a good "allrounder" the E93 coudlnt be beaten right now. I wanted to go with the Mineral white and have been nervous about how it would look in reality, but when it turned up this morning I think it does look good, even the Black Door mirror garnishes look better than I expected

Very nice. looks the part.

Better side on pic, am loving the wheels after the old 17" ones on the SE, ride doesent seem to have got any worse either

ArsE92 · 03-14-2012, 11:49 AM

Lovely looking car. Obviously the old one is the better colour though.

Were those pictures taken in Horwich? I know your location says Wilts but that house looks really familiar.

Sweet ride!!! I almost bought a MW e93 with red interior.

chedixon · 03-14-2012, 01:52 PM

Love it

I so nearly went for MW too but bottled it and chose black, if it had been a lease I'd have gone with that colour no discussion.

rjs · 03-15-2012, 02:45 AM

Looks good, roll on summer

Theivz · 03-15-2012, 03:12 AM

perfect colour wheel combo imo! congrats!

has someone painted the side mirror covers or is that a cf pbmw item?

Oil Burner · 03-15-2012, 12:21 PM

Still in Wiltshire - carbon copy houses

Door Mirrors are standard on the Sports Plus editions, and really wasn't sure about them, in fact actually requested the leasing company to see if I could get normal colour coded mirror caps - but they forgot to pass on the request

Now its here I actually like them as they compliment the shadowline trim

mc_blue · 03-15-2012, 12:51 PM

Any pictures of the interior or back? Car looks fantastic btw.

Oil Burner · 03-15-2012, 02:35 PM

not a very good pic, but heres the inside

Oil Burner · 03-15-2012, 02:38 PM

back

1sh@Crystalwhite · 03-15-2012, 07:47 PM

Beauty!

Hotcoupe · 03-16-2012, 05:44 AM

Cracking looking car OB

Do the sports plus editions now come with the performance diffuser (

) as standard,or did you have to tick a box (option)?

mc_blue · 03-16-2012, 08:18 AM

No that's standard on Sports Plus, hence why I asked to see the back of it. Looks really good.
