e92 pictures that accurately depict the cars looks

Now that a lot of people have seen the e92 in person, I'm sure a lot of us who have seen it know that the car photographs awful. I literally held up my digital camera looked at the LCD and looked at the car in flesh at the same time and I was amazed how the lines in photos make the car seem much longer than it really is. There are a few pictures though that the car actually looks as it does in real life. That why I'm making this thread. Post any picture of the e92 that actually looks like the car in real life. Here are a few that I feel look like the car in real life.











These are just a few..Please add more pictures people who have seen the e92,that way our members who haven't seen the car can know what it really looks like

I'm still not liking the rear. The rear looks too slender and long and the tail lights wrap around too much...everything else looks pretty good. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see one in person...

no more dramatic than calling the e92 pregnant looking but you didn't take issue with that comment... it's just my opinion. it's the reason i waited to buy a 3 series until it was improved. couldn't get past the rear end of the car.

Heh. To the same type of people who find Madonna more beautiful than Audrey Hepburn, I guess.

The E90, as a shape, has a certain allure, yeah, and by itself or in comparison to other cars, it can definitely hold it's own, but side-by-side with the E92 the details begin to look unfinished, unpolished - and they are. Let's just call the E90's tail lights the proverbial (monstrous) gap between the two front teeth, and leave it at that.

The sedan simply can't compare in my eyes. Sorry.

Not at all?!

My Odyssey has sportier/higher-quality tail lights.

Some of these photos have the fish eye effect of using a wide-angle lens shot near the car. It makes the objects closer to the lens look bigger in perspective relative to the more distant objects.

Is this color sparkling graphite? I love the color but I keep hearing it has a pink tone in the sunlight, is this correct?

The issue i have with the E92 is the low deck height and lack of the second swage line. The whole car looks softer and more feminine. I think this has been done on purpose to give the car broader luxury appeal.

I like the front end although sometimes the smaller grille reminds me of the 5 series
