coupe or sedan

The sedan will definitely be cheaper on your pocketbook, especially w/ the current 2.9% financing available.

that and the sedan is almost 1.5 inches taller - that will result in a higher CG.

if you care soooooo much about handling and it fits your other needs (4 seats etc) get teh Coupe.

I missed those. Care to point a few legit ones out.

Don't like the taillights of the E90. I think the E92 looks sportier, plus my wife thinks it looks better than the sedan also

Sedan, personally it looks way more sporty, better stance, sturdy, it's more practical(2 kids here), it's a lot cheaper here in NL(we are like the Scottish), everybody here choses and drives the coupe, so the sedan is a bit more special and q-car.imho.

And afaik the body/chassis structure of the 4 door saloon is a bit more rigid than the coupe(?)
The 25kgs more because of no cf roof you don't feel(marketing, but M is marketing in a lot of ways ROFL, both cars are big/fat b*st*rds anyway)

And I actually don't like the rearlights of the coupe... before I owned a E46 M3, THAT still is a beauty compared to our E90/92's IMHO.

In a few comparing movies it is. Maybe because of the more rigid 4 door structure.





But it's all personal.

I personally went with the sedan because coming from a evo, which i'm really used to and love the fact that i can toss my gear into the rear seat easily and take them out easily, i liked it. (no kids here, just single)

It was more of a convenience for me, but probably color choice (ib) and how it looked when i saw it was another thing that made my decision.
