Is the e89 really only 9mm wider than an e85?

Someone will prove me wrong, but i think that the roof line is considerably lower. Therefore car looks wider.
 
E89 feels much, much bigger/wider on the inside than E85/E86, but still glad I'm only 5'10" as I don't think I'd fit if I was much taller...
 
Funny as I too thought the E89 much much wider, but there's only 0.4" in difference

E85 / E86
Length
4,090 mm (161.0 in)
Width
1,780 mm (70.1 in)
Height
1,300 mm (51.2 in) (roadster)
1,285 mm (50.6 in) (coupe) - probably why the coupe has a different sized windscreen


E89
Length
4,239 mm (166.9 in)
Width
1,790 mm (70.5 in)
Height
1,291 mm (50.8 in)
 
I think that the illusion is furthered by the flatter/wider headlight and rear light on the e89. - draws your eyes out to the edges of the car.

I love the e85/86 (had 3), but the headlights now appear too tall/narrow. It would look great/meaner if they had more of a squint. :)
