Anyone coming from e46 to e90?

wannabe · 06-07-2005, 12:38 PM

Just wondering if anyone from here is coming from an e46 to the e90. I know a lot of people has responded to other threads...but I want to consolidate the responses here.

What are the differences you have noticed so far...good and bad?

I'm curious because I'm seriously considering buying an e46 instead of waiting for the e90 coupe because I'm not ready for the run-flats and the wait.

Also curious about people that owned an e46 M3 and now has the e90.

i dont like driving four doors, but the e90 might change that for me b/c to me the body actually apeals to me!

.....and you will lose a high amont of money because of the depreciation of the e46 coupe next year when the e92coupe will be available....

But the e46 M3 is soooo tempting.

Read my review here, to compare against the E46. I had a 330Ci for 4.5 years.

Awesome, thanks ziv. Euro Delivery is something that will be on my mind for a while now. I've always wanted to go back to Europe and go to Germany...now I could have a reason.

agreed, but then again the new M3 will be sick as well, but also it'll be larger.

I'm thinking the new hot ticket will be the 130i, if/when they finalize styling and decide to bring it over

I don't think they'll bring it over. Last I heard is that the 2 will make it over, but not the 1.

I'll let you know in about 2 weeks when I get back from ED. I drove a 2001 E46 330i for 3 years so I'll be able to give you my impressions.

Keeping in mind that there is no 2 yet, it's altogether possible and likely that the coupe will be a 1 series too,
I have heard that they probably won't bring over the 4 door hatchback currently available in europe

remember the hype about how the 2 door 3 series was going to be a 4 series???

That's true. Anything is pure speculation now. I'm just forwarding what I heard from my dealer...
