Looks odd whan you see the same car!

neilmc · 08-21-2008, 12:43 PM

Driving home from work I saw exactly the same car as mine in the same colour, only with black leather. Followed it onto the dual carriageway and thought he may put his foot down, but resisted the temptation and just sat watching from a little way back thinking that looks a nice car, but quite small for some reason! got to another roundabout and we were still going in the same direction only he had slowed up, so I pulled alongside and looked at him, and do you what? he was also picking his nose enthusiastically!

Seemed a nice chap.

must be different to the BMW drivers i come across then , most seem to be bloody miserable or scowling

i like driving behind other E92's too, thinking .. 'dam thats a fine car' or 'so thats what i look like from behind' ... or 'hmm wonder if they are on E90Post?' ... then drop back as i realise im tailgating them by mistake

I parked up next to a Sparkling Graphite 320D today at Bridlington. Apart from the wheel/grill/rear lights - it was identical! It was about as dirty as mine too..

beemerbird · 08-21-2008, 02:14 PM

Reading this you've reminded me of a bloke and his wife I came across when I had the 335d. He had the identical car apart from he had black leather interior. He just totally blanked me. Weird bugger, he must have thought his car was unique or something

Or a woman shouldn't have been driving it, maybe that's unfair...........probably not. Soon got to know what mine looked like in the rear view mirror.

Strange attitude though. Must be the ones around our way Chris.

ShereKhan · 08-21-2008, 02:19 PM

With all these 3 editions with the WTCC wheels I keep doing double takes expecting them to be an Si.

I have only actually ever seen two real Si's on the road.

chinoxs203 · 08-21-2008, 02:47 PM

happened to me this morning on the drive in to work but red interior and a hot chick! i loved it

neilmc · 08-21-2008, 03:37 PM

Is that beacuse all the 320si's are always in the dealers Sherekhan?

Well mine is (7k miles to next vist) not sure about others I think most of them of disappeared. I've seen more Alpina D3's than Si's.

ed335d · 08-22-2008, 06:02 AM

I've not seen another e92 in sparking graphite with coral red leather - except for one day about 3 months ago, on the way home from work when I saw two within about 30 seconds of each other!

madman · 08-22-2008, 07:23 AM

Every time i see an e92/e90 i wonder if they are on the forum.

Parked a few cars down from one identical to mine on an industrial estate which was cool.

I think the rear lights can look almost as good as the angel eyes when its dusky or dark. They have such a nice glow to them that really stands out.

We should all get an e90post window sticker so we can be easily spotted!

Must admit sherkhan I have only ever seen one si and about 3 d3's Would be interested to try one sometime as the engine interests me. Neil.

mjh93sa · 08-22-2008, 10:02 AM

I've never seen one exactly the same, they seldom have Xenons and never blacklines.

I did follow one down the motorway a few months ago that was the same except for the above features. Then got bored and went past the old guy driving it at 60.

medrep · 08-22-2008, 10:15 AM

I have only ever seen 2 E90's in titanium with 162's?

Hopefully there wont be too many 320d non sport edition's with sports suspension, privacy glass and lemon interior either? Or maybe so.....?

My father has a 535d M Sport and ive seen loads in the same colour and wheel choice, but not the 535d engine?

But strangely I am seeing quite a lot of M3's, which is unusual considering the value of the thing? Still looks the bollocks though?

Hmmmm... we used to see a pair of TiAg E90 SEs on 162s fairly regularly:

I quite like the Alpina alloys - even worse to clean than mine though.
If I get round to joining a meet again then maybe you can....
