Love this.

I chose the sedan not only for the practicality with my 2 kids, but also because it seems like the ultimate example of what BMW has stood for, at least from the '60s onward. BMWs are fast, responsive, nimble, yet practical sedans that can put the hurt on "sportier" but more compromised two-doors. BMWs are NOT (or at least should not be) 5000lb, all-wheel-drive "M" trucklets. It's obviously very subjective, and there is no right answer. It all depends on priorities and where you are in life. At this point I can only drive one car. I have two kids. I'm a BMW fan. I'm an M fan. I want to go to HPDE track days. ---> M3 sedan. Easy.
