2010/11 e93 (335is or other) vs older e93 interior quality

nbbimmer · 05-04-2010, 08:17 AM

Hello all

I have an 08 e93 and 09 e90, both 335s with sport package. The feel of the seats and general interior fit and finish of the e93 seems much better than the e90, to me. For those of you with the new e93 (335is or otherwise), how is the interior fit and finish. I am wondering if the differences I perceive are due to the step up from sedan to cabrio, or if interior quality has gone down in general since the 08 model year. My small local dealership doesn't have one I can look at for myself yet.

Thanks!

I remember reading something about the leather in the new e93's being sun reflective. That may be at least part of the difference you feel in the leather.

Good point. But its not just the feel of the leather. The seats are more comfortable and feel more 'solid'.
