I do believe sedan and coupe are almost identical when it comes to performance. Sedan are only about 20lbs heavier, but it does have shorter overhang. So i dont think M3 as a sedan would be far from what a coupe would be, so were not really loosing here.
I for one would not buy a coupe. 1being I have 3 kids and a wife. The other theres really none out there that in the sedan category that can compete with it. But as far as coupe, theres plenty of competition, and hate to say it some are far better car than a m3. That said I dont care if they call it 320sport as long it make me tingly inside when I drive it ill buy it. |

I don't think having a FI M3 is a bad idea. Don't get me wrong, I love my S65 but I hate my tuned 335 buddies always kicking my ass because my NA engine looses so much power up here at altitude (Denver).

A4 (LWB, as it happens) is the best selling luxury car in China. Quote:

Not me. I don't personally care about the name, but a turbo sports car is a deal breaker for me now and in 10 years. I MUCH prefer less power with a NA V8 (or NA F6) than 50% more with a turbo engine. Having more than 400 HP on a street car is just crazy to me. Give me a better power to weight ratio, and better efficiency over HP; much more rewarding to drive than a 500HP pig with the range of a motorcycle.

I think it would be pretty cool if they rename the upcoming BMW M3 the BMW Death. Maybe throw in a Rammstein anthology installed on the hard drive.

4 doors should equal M4. Leave the M3 coupe name alone. Of course, what the hell do I care? I'll never buy another one unless they put a v-10 into it.

For current M3 coupe/vert owners, there may be a silver lining in the M4 moniker cloud. As soon as the badge thieves wise up that the M4 badge is the hawt commodity, those of us with and E92M3 may not have too much to worry about with the ///M3 badges on the cars. Then all BMW would need to do is change the M4 to something else with each successive generation to keep the badge thieves off balance.

I wish they'd just come out with a CSL line line MB and Audi have with the Black Series and RS line. BMW is diluting the //M way too much now. .
