AKA: this entirely unnecessary "enhancement" will cost you $14k every 40,000 kms (or even less perhaps?). Who really wants a 4 door M3 anyway? who wants a common m3 coupe?

Hard to judge when there was no M3 Sedan for the E30, only limited time for E36, not for E46 at all. Plus also not for all markets, M3 is outselling M4 by a long way in NZ over recent years. I think this is down to the old school ideas of 2 door being a sports car for week-ends and 4 door a family car for the week being blurred by the fact that the M3 is now such a great all-rounder, it can do the school run, drive in daily traffic and also give you goose-bumps on a back road on sundays. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 Not sure what you guys are smoking. The only M3 that's been available in 2 and 4 doors is the E36 and the coupe was wildly more popular and has a much, much higher resale value. It's the only apples for apples comparison that can be made and you're trying to undermine or invalidate it. Confirmation bias much? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob HB1 90 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 have you been hiding under a rock? current models for the last couple of generations have had both 2 and 4 doors. And on that note Im out of here. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 Of course you're right about the E9x, my bad. How well did the sedan go there? So few made and sold that I even forgot they existed. ? More convertibles than sedans made/sold, that tells a story. ? Defence rests. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted December 7, 2018 Oh god, its like the SMG vs Manual arguments again. We get your opinion Dave, and no one cares. Some people like more doors, and some don't. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted December 9, 2018 I shan't be bullied! Somebody says: sedan M3's are more popular than coupes Dave says: no, not really Somebody says: you forgot the E9x Dave says: sedan numbers were even lower there Ya see the thing is, it has nothing to do with my opinion, the original proposition was clearly incorrect. ?

Herbmiester 927 Report post Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) I must be the odd one out, I would have the coupe any day of the week, its by far and away the prettiest body shape. A touring would be better than a sedan, but both second to a coupe. M4 me baby! Edited December 9, 2018 by Herbmiester Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to bring up the actual cars we are talking about, namely the F82 M4 and the F80 M3. This time with numbers... Total NZ New sales from launch (both launched at the same time, so apples with apples...) F80 M3 Sedan - 118 cars F82 M4 Coupe - 71 cars. May well be an anomally for NZ, I will see if I can find other market / worldwide production sales and production figures but as we live in NZ and are talking about the NZ market I would say these are the pertinent numbers. Your witness m'lud. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
