cracking e92

pjs · 06-06-2009, 11:52 AM

Saw this bugger for sale today, looks very tasty, apparantly an autovouge 335i Most people, myself included, couldnt take their eyes of it.

jjbirch · 06-06-2009, 12:01 PM

you would think bmw wouldnt put this on there forecourt as its not a OEM BMW and it maybe remapped, they would just put it into auction,

I love the Autovogue styling on the e92.

I very nearly bought one (in black but with a nicer rear spoiler) but they failed to respond to my email and so I took my money elsewhere.

The styling goes very nicely with the sleek lines of the e92 and IMO is a better match to the car than any other I have seen (including BMW's kits).

What I really like about the kit is the way the lines flow from the Hamann side skirts around the wheel arch and down onto the rear bumper. The rear bumper is very similar to the Reiger one accept they have taken away those horrible vents from the sides to maintain the sleek profile.

I also like the simple but effective front bumper and de-chromed grill+windows.

In all honesty i completely disagree, the Autovogue kit looks chavvy and destroys the sleek lines of the E92 coupe.

Those huge side skirts look like something off a Combat kitted Corsa. The wheels dont seem to have any class to them. The E92 needs a classy looking wheel.

I'm with feederz. Love the vogue kit on E92 and love the wheels. Ascaris are awesome.

yea me too i wonder is bmw detuned them

feederz · 06-07-2009, 12:31 PM

Seems this is the Marmite of the e92 styling world then?!

I'm quite surprised it's getting as much negative feedback here as I read many threads when considering it and the general consensus was that it looked very nice.

The pics don't show it in it's best light.

Anyhow here's a shot which helps to show what I was trying to describe about the lines flowing around the rear arch.

Czech335 · 06-07-2009, 01:29 PM

love the colour but hate the alloys and its too low.

pjs · 06-07-2009, 01:53 PM

It's certainly divided opinion, and I think it looks better in the flesh than the pics.

What I am surprised about is that the dealer [Stratstone in Doncaster] is selling it on the forecourt as an AUC , and cant see it on their website. You'd expect it to be remapped as well.

ss134 · 06-07-2009, 02:07 PM

Word up.. gangstaaa!

CD · 06-07-2009, 03:27 PM

not too keen on the body kit, but the exhausts look good

I dont like any kits really apart from the Hamann kit for the E92 is the best imo ! (admitedly a bit max power, but i kinda like that

)

mark@vorny.co.uk · 06-08-2009, 09:46 AM

IIRC the AutoVogue kits are glassfibre and do not stand up as well to damage as other kits....

trixman · 06-08-2009, 09:59 AM

I quite like it, although the E92 is incredibly wheel dependent for it's look and I'm not sure they do the job. They look great in the brochure though, although what doesn't with professional photography and lighting.

The bodykit is dangling precariously on the edge of chavfords, but it's acceptable.
