Default Bmw M3



BMW might be testing out a M3 Sedan.



I just do not know what to say.

Why's that - they've had them in the past (a friend of mine had one).

I always heard rumor that they were gonna bring back an M3 sedan this generation. I think its a good idea, some people want the high performance with the extra two doors.

What I can't believe is that you can pay $55,000 for a car that doesn't even have HID's standard!!!!

The old M3 sedan outsold the coupe.

It does have HIDs standard. I don't know why but even the new 330/335 do not look like they have Xenons in pics when in fact they do.

It does.

I believe the IS does not, though.

I'd still take the M3 coupe, looks much better than a M3 sedan to me.

I bet there were plenty of people who didn't buy an e46 m3 just because it only came in 2dr version
