Are you saying, it's not the number of the doors but how you drive it?

[dmz]

It take a really self confident cool person to drive a car that is fun and practical. I pity those poor souls that have gives up practicality just to try to look cool.

[Hedges]

I love my e90, looks sexy with my rims and mods on it and practical whenever i need to lug shiet around or have extra bodies i need to drive!

[cliverman]

I choose the e90 b/c it's easier to fit two kids in the back. They love to say my daddy's car is faster than yours. I love the coupe but it's a pain the ass for them to crawl in the back. As far as style goes it's all subjective. Either way it's a cool car - age has nothing to do with it.

Seriously..I think this is bad. I dont want to hurt anyone elses car..I guess the solution is to park in bumfarook egypt or something everytime I go anywhere.

2) I dont fit in the car..headroom is not sufficient for me. In my E90 I fit fine..even with a helmet on..but with this 328 coupe..I definitely DONT fit. I moved the seat as low as it would go...and then tilted it..and then lowered the back aft..but still...I cannot get a comfortable seating position.

3) I have three teenage kids..and the coupe obviously doesnt allow all three of them to go in the car with me and the wife.

4) Does the air conditioning vent on the right side of the center section really not allow flowing air to the passenger front seat? Or is this an anomoly of this particular car. Very annoying for the wife.

So, I know lots of you guys poo poo us E90 owners..but I gotta tell you..I dont miss having the coupe one little bit. Different strokes for different folks. If it works for you...great..It just definitely doesnt work for me and my family.

Last comment..what the heck is the 2 second delay for the acclerator to actually make the car go?. Is this a 328 issue...or an automatic issue..or a combination of both? I hate this delay in getting the car to go. My 335i just goes..no muss..no fuss.

Ok...flame me if you want...just had to get those comments off my chest.

when shopping for my car i wanted an e92. but im so glad i got an e90. its just so much more practical and just as fast

I'm having a flashback to when the e92 came out and people were bitching.

The doors are heavy? Seriously? If so you better get to the gym and quick!!! I sure don't want them to feel light. Although they're certainly not heavy by any means.

The automatic is stupid. I noticed the 2 second delay on my loaner, which was a e90 328. When the light turns green I want to be able to ease of the brake and allow the car to slowly start rolling forward as traffic begins to move. This annoyed me a great deal.

Obviously you found out why you bought the e90.

[Chowbow]

I got the E90 over the E92 as well. No kids, mid 20s, hardly anybody rides in the car with me. But I actually like the look and lines of the 4 door better than the 2 door. I always have with most BMWs. E36, E46, I like the sedans better.

It's more practical, but it wasn't a selling point for me. I don't have any issues with a blind spot from the B-pillar personally. I'm not that tall and don't need any gangster lean so my head is just forward of the B-pillar, and my mirrors are adjusted properly anyway (those who know, know).

At one of the recent autocrosses I was in an E92, and couldn't believe that I BARELY fit in the car with a helmet on. Seat was all the way down and not that upright. The helmet was just touching the headliner, and I'm only 5'8".

According to BJ, e90 is an embarrasement .....

S4... yes, the sedan is definitely more practical than the coupe, but until I need to start supplementing fiber into my diet I'll just stick with my E92. Actually, I can't lie, I do take psyllium husk from time to time.

^I think that has to do with the post V29.2 progman update that everyones experiencing from the flash update...

I personally think the coupe is nicer looking, but love the blacklines... maybe if i get the mtech kit, ill think otherwise. bomb ass driving experience either way

You little snot nosed punk! ALWAYS REMEMBER! "Old age and Treachery will always overcome youth and skill!"

I think this is a great post. I had an E90 335i before my 135i, and find almost all those same things about the coupe to be annoying, especially the seat adjustment. I found the sport seat in my sedan to be super comfortable. In this car, its a PITA to get right. At least the E92 has a seatbelt helper. You're in for the long reach with a 135i. Backseat access for my daughter was sure nice in that four door too.

The thing I hated the most on my E90 was the way the headlights looked. The E92 headlights look ten thousand times better. The E90 headlights look like an old person's car.

No the delay was in an automatic 328iX coupe...E92...not a 335.

I had to double check the A/C vent and it works and focuses on the passenger side perfectly. What was wrong with your rental? Did it not angle towards the passenger seat?

I wouldn't race a bimmer sedan in the first place...wouldn't want to embarrass the drivers in front of their grand children in the back seat

Yeah..it only went towards driver..or straight back.
