My E92 vs. F32 Side By Side

Be Awesome 335i · 10-08-2013, 02:12 PM

So while taking the wife out to lunch this past Sunday, I did what I always do and shopped the local BMW dealer lot. Finally, I laid eyes on my first 4 series coupe.

I know everyone is jumping all over these new coupes lately but I just don't see what all the craze is about.

I cant be alone in loving my E92 over the F32 or am I just biased..

If I had to chose right now between the two, Id still pick the E92..

Feel free to share your opinions on which you prefer.

that wheel gap...

CarEnthused · 10-08-2013, 02:21 PM

Try comparing it against an M-Sport. You might still like the e92 more but it would at least be a more fair comparison

EDIT: I checked out the 4 series we have here in Minneapolis and was really impressed with how good the standard bumper looks in person vs pictures.

ihc95 · 10-08-2013, 02:24 PM

Wow the E92 is soooo much nicer.

JStang · 10-08-2013, 02:26 PM

It has to be an m sport for it to look good. That front bumper is gross.

1NS0MN1A · 10-08-2013, 02:26 PM

I like how small the e92 looks compared to the massive f32.

Looks like ill be picking up a 2012-13 335i. I wanted an interior change cause ive had an e90 for 5 years now, but oh well.

TurboBimmer · 10-08-2013, 02:26 PM

Offroad mode on the F32?? Really needs M-Sport Kit to shine.

chris b. · 10-08-2013, 02:26 PM

Agree! The exact reason I kept my e90!

Also, I hate the new electric steering.

135Pats · 10-08-2013, 02:31 PM

The 4 is not a good looking car. The F30 looks great, but the two door is 'meh'. E92 is SO much more attractive.

You need painted side reflectors...

Fair Enough! I just didn't care for the overall size of the car and nothing about it made me feel like i just had to have it. I was missing the WOW factor that I expected to feel once I actually saw one..

Mardio · 10-08-2013, 03:02 PM

Oh that front hood on that F32 is horrible, they ruined it.

StevenY. · 10-08-2013, 03:05 PM

I think the F32 is pretty nice with msport but at the end of the day my opinion is still E92>F32.

rbtamms · 10-08-2013, 03:05 PM

The E90's are still way more better than F30's...

AllBlackBimmer · 10-08-2013, 03:08 PM

e92 has a better front end IMO, i like the headlights/grille better. I dont like how they connect on the f32

I just can't get past the way the grilles and lights are touching. Maybe it will grow on me.

Your E92 looks great!

kihun · 10-08-2013, 04:03 PM

some how f series looks a lot better in person.. but again when e92 came out, it looked really good in pictures even compared to e46 models.. i guess it didn't improve that much..

Exactly, not sure what they were going for but not a fan. I actually like the look of the grills/lights on the F30 but the coupe, not so much!

Thanks A Bunch

I agree that the car looks better in person however, I just couldn't get over the frumpy size... I love the sportiness of the e92... I have yet to drive a f32 but looks like some of that "sportiness" is lost.

iBoost · 10-08-2013, 05:42 PM

Looks like a carry next to the e92.

Chris_506 · 10-08-2013, 05:46 PM

the f32 looks like a bmw and a genesis coupe had a baby
