Does the E92 look like a 7 series to you?

GS833 · 12-08-2006, 06:01 PM

2 people have asked me if my car was a 7 series in the last week...weird

I don't think the E92 looks like a 7 series, but there is a hint of 7 series styling in the taillights. If anything, the front of the E92 has a bit of E90 (3 series) combined with E60 (5 series).

DFW_M · 12-08-2006, 06:11 PM

maybe they meant 6er?

E36_325i · 12-08-2006, 06:18 PM

You can tell the tails are inspired by the 7er. That's it though.

The sedan could be confused with a 5 series maybe, but the E92 with a 7 series? That's nutty.

nhhiep · 12-08-2006, 09:59 PM

last weekend, I took a long drive to LA and saw two 7 series. at first from the behind, I thought they were e92, until I saw 2 extra doors.

BMW335TT · 12-08-2006, 10:02 PM

i got 1 time at a car wash.. is that a 2 door 7 series!! The rear is a 7 series all the way. Not the 2002-2005 models . 06 and 07 rear lights only

canucklion · 12-08-2006, 10:06 PM

like others have said, only the rear resembles the 7er, not the rest of the car

They can't have seen many 7 series is all I will say.

Nicholas · 12-08-2006, 10:31 PM

Some people just don't know cars, we can't do anything about that.

here are both from behind...

form your own opinion, i see a little of the 7 in the 3, a little....

Master Deep · 12-08-2006, 11:10 PM

Take it as a complement. Maybe they think it's a $80G car.

RiXst3r · 12-08-2006, 11:14 PM

I have had people say "is that the new 6 series coupe? "... I just say, "yep!"

I reckon that these people know enough about BMW's to know it's not a 6-series and because it's newer they at it being a 7.

The E92 has design elements from the 7, so it's not a bad guess if you don't follow BMW closely. It certainly doesn't look like the E90.
