Which M3 looks nicer?

Prince_of_Persia · 02-04-2011, 11:16 PM

OK. Please choose what BMW M3 looks nicer?

positiveions · 02-04-2011, 11:18 PM

ahh is there supposed to be some photos? or are you asking which body style: i.e. E90 vs. E92 vs E93?

ahh there you go,, i used to own an E36 2 door. My ZHP was a 4 door. I am going to purchase E90 M3; it is about versatility for me.

BimmerRob · 02-04-2011, 11:35 PM

e92 all day. looks mean as a widebody coupe

Crazy Bimmer · 02-04-2011, 11:43 PM

Yes.

NYCMCBM3 · 02-04-2011, 11:46 PM

can't go wrong with a e92, I think the e90 is nice as well , but I don't like how the roof is shaped on the e93

Thread attempts to draw ultimate conclusion based on unqualified opinions. Would mean more to poll qualified participants such as those working in the automotive design field if you wanted actual credible and informative feedback. Thread is fail. And ultimately I'm just being argumentative because of the OP's poor attitude toward a fellow enthusiast simply because their opinion differs

330CIZHP · 02-05-2011, 12:01 AM

Sedan looks the best.

Shorter, wider and more athletic. More aggressive stance as well.

BMRLVR · 02-05-2011, 12:02 AM

This is just a shot in the dark but here is my prediction:

I'd say convertible owners will say convertibles look best, coupe owners will say the coupes look best and sedan owners will most likely say the sedans look best

If this is the case, opening a thread titling "convertible looks better than coupe?" in this forum was a mistake! He had to create that thread in a car designing / beauty forum or whatever! Just want to give him the feedback he wanted from the members here in this poll so he gets his answer from this site at least! That's all!

The problem happens when people simply cast their vote (sometimes in a less than civil way) without explaining their observation(s). Not all. Some qualified their responses. But it's inevitable some are just going to express some form of, "you're an idiot." Perhaps the OP could have simply commented on which differing design elements he preferred, because the cars are very similar in the overall aesthetic (which I'm sure was the part of the concept desire).

People have to realize Germans like cabrios. So they're going to have them. Germans are far more style conscious than Americans, especially the middle aged and those more refined. That's who they build their cabrios for. Which car would you rather cruise the Cote d'Azur (South of France) in? Those roads are heaven and when in the destinations (Monaco, Nizza, St. Tropez) do you want to be in a cage, or sporting fantastic top down styling?

+1 There will only be like 5% of the M3 owners (not even) that wouldn't buy the car that they think is the best. Maybe an owner wanted the M3 e92 but needed more practicality because of family concerns or what not so therefore he bought the e90. Anyways, the e90 is the better choice

IMO! Just because its a 4 door practical sedan that is fast as hell. But then again this is a very biased opinion, I love sedans compared to coupes.

M3maniac20 · 02-05-2011, 12:58 AM

E90 is not a bad looking car. You get the best of both worlds...4 doors and performance but just doesn't have as much of a sporty edge as the coupe.

The vert is too obvious in my opinion. The roof is way to noticeable and I don't like how it has chrome trim around the doors instead of the shadow line like the rest of them.

Auto · 02-05-2011, 01:15 AM

E90, looks shorter and fatter if you can call it that way, in some ways like the RS4 B7.
But the E92 sure looks more sportier.

I agree...

Leg · 02-05-2011, 02:39 AM

I bet the E92 wins. Why? More people own them. Biased? Yes.

Suprise, suprise I think e90 M3 is by far the best looking of the three.
