Shoud I reduce my expectation ?
I'm shopping for an E92, must be BSM or JB, AT, iDrive, 22-23K$ MAX. I have been looking for 3 months, soon 4.
Now, I'm looking at E90's and I realised 328xi 2009 are pretty cheap and low milleage and also some has iDrive. Now i'm confused, my current car start to break into pieces and i'm getting old now i'm in an hurry, but I dont want to regret going for e90. I always wanted a 2 doors car and E92 looks way more sporty than E90, totaly different car. While I like the front and back of E90, I think sides look plain and boring. what are your though ? |

Don't settle. Get what you want. It's cheaper in the end and you'll be happier longer.

Yea, E92s look awesome. E90s can too, but it needs to be modded. An E92 will look good even stock. 328 is a great 230 hp NA car, the 335 is a 300 hp FI car. Two different platforms, you can't go wrong with either.

I was originally in the market for an E90. I found a good deal on an E92 with the color combo and options that I wanted.
I can say that I have any regrets. In fact, I have come to love the styling and get tons of compliments. E92 FTW.

If its e92 that you want, you should get that. It would suck if you found out later on that you're not happy with settling on an e90. I'm also a coupe guy but I must say, an e90 with mtech rear/front really makes the car look 100x better.

Don't settle, it took me almost 6 month to find my car, but at the end it was worth it! I love my sedan, but if its a coupe you want, get the coupe!

pretty much in the same boat as you, starting to look for an E92, white, red int, nav and must have M sport package. Its hard to find the exact model you want but eventually it will happen.

81k miles on an N54/55 is getting to the $$$ range on maintenance/risk if not well cared for. Does the owner/dealer have maintenance records. The longevity of the turbos is still not clear so I would be weary unless you are budgeting preventative maintenance into your cost of ownership. What year is it? I hate the old iDrive, my mother in law has it in her n54 335 and it is super slow.

If you wanna talk about stock vs stock then the e92 will look nicer in my opinion. But as you are on these forums so its likely that you will start modding and either way you go, you cant go wrong! Both e90 and e92's can be modded to look beautiful.
