Just put on order

Darkkilla · 03-22-2008, 04:54 PM

I just put on order a JB M3 Sedan. Im kinda on the fence atm i really like the sedan and the coupe its very hard to pick, i like the coupe but its kind of impracticle for people to get in and out and im always having people in it and it feel like it looks a little e-longated. I do like the sedan though cause it looks more stocky and shorter and bit more aggressive.
What is your opinion? think I should stick with the sedan think i might have regrets? O and im ordering it with the stock 18's i think they look alot nicer the gunmetal look. could any one post any pics of e90 JB's with 18's? didnt see any in the official thread

I am also getting the sedan. It's not just the doors, but the seating config is different. The sedan offers so much more from a usability factor. The car drove like a champ, so I wouldn't worry about it from a performance stand-point.

I likely would have chosen the sedan if not for the CF roof being coupe-only.

I think the sedan looks a bit longer. I know the coupe is an inch longer but imo it's hard to see that length with the naked eye.

I am probably going with the coupe mainly for the CF roof. I have 3 other cars with 4 doors so it's not essential but I do like having a rear seat from time to time for my young kids.

I know the sedan has 3 across but don't see the middle seat as much room or being used so to me it comes down to the looks which I prefer the coupe.

the price of the sedan is nice as well possible to see the sedan to be discounts sooner since it's not as popular (IMO).

(IMO) small rear seats like the 3-series or ISF (etc.) probably won't be using the rear seats much for me so I'd rather have a coupe for the sporty look.

I think both cars look and drive great - I have driven both and felt no meaningful difference. The coupe is a bit better looking to my eye; it should be that's what coupes are all about. I went with the sedan as I am often hauling kids around and hate having to get in and out of the car the let people into the backseat of a coupe. The other advantage of the sedan is you can get the car with a steel roof but without a sunroof...Good luck with your decision!
