IMO, the 4 is very attractive, but does not ooze the brutality that the M3 does. It looks more flowing and natural. The 4's rear end is also better resolved, IMO. I am not the least bit unhappy to order the 4 door. LOVE IT! |

the M4 does look sort of very similar to a 4 series in some angles, and call me crazy, looked bigger and heavier than the f80 for some odd reason.

Exactly- they'll perform identically. A few extra options on the M4 or a heavier driver, even a bit of extra fuel in the tank of the M4 and they'll weigh the same.

Not that it really matters to me but do we know the difference in drag coefficient between the two? You would think the M4 should have a significant advantage due to it being lower and with a more rounded and smoother rear but who knows.

No need to be ashamed about preferring the M3 over the M4. Many have already expressed the same opinion here. If it's like the E9x models the difference in performance and driving satisfaction is one that cannot be detected by mere mortals. And that's the real reason you're buying one, right?
Cheers.

With the E9x M3 I always had the feeling that the E90 was released almost as an afterthought by ///M styling wise. I love that car, I've owned 2 of them but the F80 just looks so right from every angle.

Feel the same way- The F80 just seems to have a better, more aggressive presence. Love my E90, and definitely going to stick with the sedans.

I'm experiencing the exact opposite feelings. I ordered an F80 and know I'm having second thoughts that I should go with the F82 instead. I'm in same boat as far as not needing the 4 doors. The main reason I originally went with the M3 is the doors are a lot shorter which makes entry and exit in tight parking spots easier. I figured I'll stick with the F80 for a bit then get the F82 when comp package becomes available.

The F32 on the other hand has a handsome side profile, nice rear and being lower and wider adds to the appeal and results in a somewhat desirable car. I don't doubt that the M3 will close the gap to the F32 and likely overtake it but I would also assume that the M4 will add to the already nice F32? Again, I really need to see them, preferably in the same color. |

I'm getting the 4 door and for some odd reason even before marriage and kids I've loved the look of the sedan. Actually, growing up in Germany, I have grown to love wagons and wish they had an M3 or M5 wagon stateside.
Now being a real estate guy, it will be easier to haul folks around in my sedan...but will it look bad when it's a Sakhir Orange sedan? choices.... choices... |

The M4 looks anything but bloated. It looks smooth and muscular, much like a baby M6. The M3 looks beefier and more aggressive due to the flares, but the M4 does not lack for presence. |

I am a coupe person through and through and generally vow to not be interested in sedans.....BUT the M3 is soooooo much more aggressive and well proportioned compared to the huge looking M4 that I am also finding myself a bit surprised I prefer it. I still haven't decided if I really could deal with owning a 'practical' sedan in the next year or two.....but the F80 makes a very strong case.
IMO the 4-series/F82 just looks too long....I like short cars....with a more 'stout' appearance and the F80 sort of captures that feeling. |

Everyone has their opinions, but I think many people who are seeing these in person are beginning to lean towards the looks of the sedan. This happen a bit with the e9x series......and the F8x series is taking it even further. Cheers, e46e92

I can't wait to see both in person. Hoping they will release an M4GC, might be the best of all worlds.
Fundamental flaw with the f32/f82 is that it has the exact same WB as the f30, lending to longer proportions, more flowing appearance. They should have chopped the WB by at least 2" (who cares about the rear seat it's a coupe) to give it more compact, squarish, proportions. See Audi a5 and 6 series.
