Does the E90 and E92 M3 share the EXACT same front end?...dimension wise...etc... Thanks!.

Dunno...I doubt it... I bet the hood is shorter...much like the E36 Coupe vs. Sedan.

dimensions are different. check bmwusa.com they should be able to give you the exact spec pics. or you could search on here, i know that they have been posted somewhere.

As far as I can tell from the dimensions, the front ends are the same. The only difference is from the rear wheel back, not counting the extra doors. The sedan has the back end chopped off about 3 inches.

the dimensions are NOT the same:

coupe tire centerline to tire centerline: 1538mm
sedan tire centerline to tire centerline: 1539mm

coupe mirror to mirror: 2005mm
sedan mirror to mirror:1976mm

I know the dimensions of the two are not exactly the same, the sedan is a little shorter than the coupe and the sedan is a little wider than the coupe. I'm talking about the dimensions of the front end, the front bumper, the hood, the fenders, headlights, etc..... Thanks.......

They still are not the same, the lights for instance are far different!!!!! The Coupe is a bit longer as well.
