Since my e46 M3 was stolen I am considering a new sedan but prefer the looks of the coupe. I understand there may be a difference in suspension, anybody know for sure?..........

Which would you get?..........thanks , Joe

If you want something new Sedan. Also depends on how you plan on using it (D.D., weekend car, track car, family hauler, etc.).

I love sedans as much as the next guy but come on, the M3 coupe looks way hotter!

Put my deposit down yesterday on the sedan...........first on the list for four doors behind 7 coupes.

I like the versatility that the M5 has provided over the last 7 years..........been my daily driver, cruise ship on 1,000 mile weekend trips, Track car for 3 years, even hauled 2x4s from Home Depot on numerous occassions. I think the M3 sedan will be similar albeit a bit smaller.

My M3 was a great handling car, absolutely fabulous on the track but really, really harsh on Baltimore roads.

The coupe does have better looks from some angles but not nearly as nice as my M6........

Got the call last Friday that I was first on the list for a sedan (7 coupes ahead of me) and placed the order today. Production should be Week 11.

Would love to get European Delivery but my dealer says no for M cars?:cool::cool::cool::cool:

Back on the fence again.............production is still at 111 and I can opt out to get a coupe a month or two later. We bought the wife a 328 sedan when the M3 got stolen so we already have 4 doors if needed. The coupe does look so much more "sporty" and I still have not heard anything definitive about suspension diffferences between the e90 and the e92, anybody know anything?

It would definitely be a coupe if we were keeping the M5 but I think it is time to let that one go..............Joe
