M3 Sedan vs. M3 Coupe

T Bone · 05-11-2009, 05:17 PM

Who has a coupe and wants to rub it in?

GhostyM · 05-11-2009, 05:33 PM

Coupe FTW! Lol

Not a fair fight, guy in the sedan was on his way to a meatball lunch at IKEA with three co-workers on board.

Before everybody starts a war, let me break it down for you in simple terms. A driver's race.

Am I supposed to be surprised? The only surprise elicited from this video would actually be that I thought the coupe would be much faster...

I wonder what speed they maxed out at?

chris719 · 05-12-2009, 01:25 AM

The difference is pretty close to noise, but probably due to the power output of the engine in that specific coupe. Some S65 might output a few more hp due to assembly and break in differences etc.

I agree. My previous stock M3 made 333hp on a dyno dynamics while most are making 315.

In my opinion, if they were to put up a E90 M3 with no sunroof, no heated seats and 18'' wheels (less rotational mass) AGAINST a E92 with most of the options and 19'' wheels, the opposite would of happened in this video.

However, this video was enjoyable. M3 FTW!

CSanto · 05-12-2009, 11:10 AM

I'm not sure what there is to rub in. It's one of the most identical races I've seen.

veightkiller · 05-12-2009, 11:28 AM

vid is not bad, thanks for sharing.

I'm with ya there man...I kind of like the sedan better than the coupe....dunno why....just do.

Definitely a subjective matter. I prefer the rear bumper and taillights of the e92. They make the car look wider and more aggressive (the e90's bumper looks like a lesser e92 design). I also prefer the more elegant profile of the e92.
