Product Overview

BMW 3 Series E92 Coupe is a compact executive coupe in production from 2006 to 2010, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the E46 Coupe, the E92 introduced a markedly different styling. It is arguably more elegant, though some may find it bloated from some angles. Indeed, the vehicle became notably heavier.
At this point, newer, direct-injected engines began to roll out. Fortunately, those with access to diesel engines were still able to get solid drivetrains.
BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.
