E92 (coupe) spotted in california

ALEXjules · 07-17-2006, 12:14 PM

Yesterday, I was walking back to my car in a parking garage while I came across a bmw 328i coupe. It was in Santa Barabara, California and coincidentally I had my camera with me, so I took a few picutes. I dont know how interesting this is to you guys, but I thought I would share anyways. I couln't get a good interior shot, but was able to get a couple of decent shots of the rear,front and side. Sorry for some of the blurry pictures. The only question I have is what this car might be doing around this area? Thanks

Nice find, seems to have saddle brown interior

hks786 · 07-17-2006, 12:24 PM

man.....i wish i had my spy kids 3-d glassess......

Ryan@Motorwerks · 07-17-2006, 12:43 PM

Yes, please give us some of your impressions the car had on you. And what's with those wheels? The blurry pics make it look like they were stolen off an IS.

longtran · 07-17-2006, 12:50 PM

nice find...

JackMac · 07-17-2006, 12:51 PM

Emblems are masked on this one. The 335 I saw last week in NJ was totally uncovered.

p.s. typical BMW driver, made his own parking space

Hunter399 · 07-17-2006, 12:53 PM

Those wheels look like the 325 sport pack wheels

Damnit!

Im so pissed!

Im just outside of santa barbara

I will be going into town tonight and will bring my camera!

My thoughts on the car was a lot better then I expected, After seeing the photos released by BMW I thought the body was too long for some reason. Let me tell you, it looks alot better in person and changes my perspective on the overall design of the body. In other pictures I have seen it didnt feel like much of a sports car, but in person it looks much more agressive. I hope that answers some questiions, if you guys have any more questions just ask.

Also, I know some of the pictures are blurry, my camera is hard to keep steady, or maybe I was just so excited...

Hunter399 · 07-17-2006, 01:16 PM

where EXACTLY was this?

Agni · 07-17-2006, 01:50 PM

Front those pics it seems you were REALLY Nervous/Excited to see the car that yuo couldnt keep your hands steady lol.

Looks like you were too excited while taking the pictures. The car looks good to me!

shragon · 07-17-2006, 04:36 PM

looks nice! wheels look like style 161's.

edit: looks to be the same car as this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...1&postcount=34

Fenianz · 07-17-2006, 04:40 PM

Looks like it has clear corners.

all the coupes will. instead of having the orange reflector intergrated into the headlight, it's been moved by the wheel well.

climkt · 07-17-2006, 10:58 PM

stock e92 looks elegant but still looks a touch too feminine for me. would love to see a kerscher front bumper on the e92 to add frontal aggression like assasingt's PY e92.. rear m tech for e92 still a bit bland.
