///M4 but then I'm taking all the ///M4 badges off an putting ///M3 badges on.

M3 is a coupe, always has been, always will be.

jc1654M4 · 02-20-2014, 07:24 AM

This will be my first M so I'm pretty excited...

Sapphire Black M4

Nice!! Congrats!! You will love it

F82_SID · 02-20-2014, 02:29 PM

I love how what seems like the vast majority of people on this forum think the M3 looks way way better and yet, the M4 is still winning in this poll. From reading the post from the past 2 months you would think it would be at least a 3:1 ratio for people opting for the M3 over the M4.

LSM · 02-20-2014, 02:32 PM

I don't think m3 looks better at all. Looks identical to m sport 3 series to me

Agree that's the only thing. M4 looks low and wide much better than M3 imo

KL07RPH · 02-20-2014, 08:41 PM

Need the 4 doors for my 14 month old. Otherwise would've stuck w/ coupe (or most likely my lowly 328i)

50/50 split at the moment, shows what a great job BMW have done with the M3 because the same poll with E90 vs E92 M3 would have been a big win for the E92. Both cars look great, can't go wrong with either.

dhoggm3 · 02-21-2014, 05:55 AM

Wow 81/81. Very interesting.

Just looked back at the poll results. Still a tie at 81 vs 81

m3 is simply a baby m5 with less comfort features... I don't need a mini version of what I already have.

Coupe here

Right, I think someone did poll somewhere asking same question before F80/82's reveal. Back then, F82 was winner by big margin.

M3 is the M5s younger , better looking athletic brother !!
Can see your point though if you already own F10 M5.

ase2dais · 02-21-2014, 03:32 PM

I like the sound of the name M4.. for surely they know you have the latest and greatest, since you are forking the big wad

Robbo McLaren · 02-21-2014, 03:47 PM

First BMW after 5 Audis...turning to the dark side :0)

M4 mineral grey, black & CF interior, black 19's.

The handling will more than offset the features.

F80 for me.

so.... how is a two door version of that any better?

M4TW · 02-21-2014, 04:53 PM

The M4 has a bigger pussy magnet.

Wah · 02-21-2014, 07:53 PM

Saw them both at the Philly auto show... M3 looks like the sporty family sedan that it is. M4 looks low and fast.
