    4 door m3?

    Hi I saw this the other day and just thought I'd post it. Didn't even know they were bringing out a 4 door E92 M3?
    No CF roof with this model.


    Re: 4 door m3?

    Yes, the four door _sedan_ as it's called. Only 22 pounds heavier too.

    Everything else seems to be the same according to brochure 711 003 460 25 2 2007 VZ

    The CF roof has to be sacrificed if you want the optional sunroof.

    Would be nice if they had a "Normal Driver" aerokit to get rid of fabulous rear end and too-aggressive front.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    Yes there was one in our local BMW showroom today. A pretty good "Q" car but I'd prefer the coupe myself.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    CF roof is for the coupe only.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    ^yes sir, the CF roof is not available on the sedan, and btw designations are as follows

    E90 4 door
    E91 4 door-touring
    E92 2 door (Coupe)
    E93 2 door (convertible)

    Re: 4 door m3?

    There was a Black 4-Door and a Cobalt Blue Coupe at the BMW dealer in Fairfax.

    To be honest, the Four Door looks a little more masculine do to it's more compact (more on that below), boxy and upright appearence. This car definitely looks better in lighter colors since this shows off more the detailing and body lines.

    Black pretty much absorbs the character of the car.

    And here's a shocker - the 4-Door is actually SHORTER by like and inch and half than the COUPE. Doesn't make sense, but I looked at the measurements in the brochure and sure enough, the wheelbase is the same but body on the 4-Door is shorter.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    There is lots of headroom in the Sedan if you skip the moonroof (more than Coupe with carbon roof) - great for helmet space...

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I like that they offer the 4door as well!

    It's more practical too thats for sure

    That's right. No CF roof on sedan (4-door), period. Only steel roof avail. on sedan with or without sunroof.

    CF roof ONLY avail on the sunroof-less coupe.

    If you want a sunroof on coupe then you sacrifice the CF roof.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    Here's some more pics. I find the 4 door much more aggresive looking than the couple. Still not as good as E46 M3 in my opinion stylewise

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I don't know why, but the rear on the 4door M3 is already looking dated to me.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I agree Mike. The front of the M3 looks better everyday, but the rear just doesn't do it for me either the coupe or sedan.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I agree. Remove the quad exhausts and it appears exactly the same as a normal 320i. Mind you it appears to me that the guards are more flared than on the coupe. Just my perception

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I love the front


    Re: 4 door m3?

    Pardon me but I fkn hate it! WTF is with the rear end? Of course the front end's gotta have that aggressive "get-out-of-my-way-because-I'm-an-AH" look. But did they have to make the rear end look fabulous while they were at it?

    Photo below show "corrected" look for back. Or I'll take grandma's car's rear end over this latest fabulous fk up.

    Yeah, yeah, they need the vent for the heat transfer. but did they need to make it so frilly and fairy tale? Frickin stuuuupid looking, geez!

    oops, rant over (_not_ sorry).

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I have not met anyone yet who likes the back of the M3, including two of my friends who are owners. They are waiting for something more F430 like diffuser from aftermarket. Haha.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    Agreed, big dissapaointment with the back end

    Re: 4 door m3?

    A friend of mine who changes cars fairly often just acquired the first M3 sedan in Jerez Black in Washington about a week ago. It's impressive looking in person so I'd suggest you guys reserve final judgment until you've seen one in person. I still can't get over the fact that the price now is the same or even more as the last generation M5 for a fully loaded M3 coupe/sedan.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    Oops! The pic I showed is out of date; it's a pre-introduction shot. Here's the updated rear end which they are actually producing compared to old. It's a little bit better:

    That's one thing that I found disturbing when I saw the two at Fairfax last week. I saw the sticker and just shook my head ... although I'm a BIG M3 fan and really love the car, I just CANNOT justify paying that much for a 3-series. No way, no how.

    I mean we're talking used Porsche CS or 996 Turbo money now.

    And yes, I know the Dollar is weaker to the Euro so you would expect the upward exchange adjustment, but c'mon ...

    Re: 4 door m3?

    Here's what it "should" look like unless you actually like what BMWs look like.



    Re: 4 door m3?

    E92 Coupe looks much better than E90...


    Re: 4 door m3?

    hate the 4 door version.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I dont actually have much of a problem with the rear diffusor, its just butt ugly tail lights. Hopefully the soon to be revealed facelift will sort that out. I hear the FL is getting LED's

    You really need to start paying more attention Mike
    There's even going to be a E93 M3 Convertible, all 1,9 tons of it

    Here are some comparison tests btw the Sedan and a rival, guess which car wins (Don't read this Wayne )
    Comparison Test: 2008 BMW M3 Sedan vs. 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

    I think it looks pretty good (and mean) in black:

    Don't trust Edmunds anyway. Here is one I prefer.

    Re: 4 door m3?

    I kind of like the M3 Sedan

    Seen the New Jaguar (Mondeo look a like) and the new A4 this weekend and compared to that the 3 series looks a lot better/fresher in my opinion.

    I'm normally a big Audi fan, love the A6 and A5, but the A4 is a bit too plain. Even the flashy LEDs don't help..
