Interesting thread, as I've asked myself the same question a little while back.
I think it boils down to the fact that this is mainly an American forum and that the M3cs was aimed particularly towards the American market. About half of all M3cs have been slated to the US and were "dumped" all at once over just a few months. On the other hand, the M4cs has been on the market outside North America for over one year, but have only started to trickle on our shores since last September. I wonder how many M4cs have actually landed on North American shores thus far, but I'm pretty sure it is significantly less than the M3cs. Hence the much lower North American deliveries. I am pretty sure the majority of M4cs owners on the forum are from outside the US. The M4cs is slightly more biased towards track performance with a bit more focus on weight reduction and a stiffer suspension.

PS: Just to nitpick, it's not the door latches that are straps (like on a Porsche GT3) but the door pulls.

I think its a forum demographic issue. I suspect that there are more married with kids here then young singles or, old boomers (like me). Hard to justify a coupe if you haul 3+ a lot. That said, sedans shout old man to me.....

Like other have stated, the M3 is a really neat package that is a 4 door with space for kids or whatever. And it’s a sport sedan that can be had with a 6spd. I had an M4 DCT and it was great but traveling with 2 minions meant the kids were really close together. The M3 gave them more room and it makes longer road trip more relaxing. I opted for a 6spd in the M3 and I have no regrets. If I lived in a major city, I may have opted for the DCT as I despise bumper to bumper traffic with a manual. I do like the body of the M3 more than the M4, however M3CS vs M4CS if I had disposable income to have a weekend car (at that price point) I would consider the M4. I think the interior of the M4CS appeals more to me than the M3CS. I’m not a fan of the two-tone seats. Both are great in their own way.

Ever since I started driving at 16, I have never owned a car with 2 doors that had more than 2 seats. I've either owned 2 door 2 seaters or 4 door sedans. Aside from the Dodge Challenger, 4 seater coupes just aren't fun for rear passengers. It's annoying for all passengers to move seats to put 2 people in the back, and unless you're shorter than 5 ft 7 inches, hunching over in the back seat or leaning forward without back support to avoid hitting your head on the rear window gets old after about high school age. As for the old man argument, an automatic base Corvette screams old man to me much more than a sports sedan like a M3. I've always just been in the mindset of if you ever want to take more than 1 additional passenger and want everyone to enjoy the trip, just get the second set of doors. Otherwise you find out pretty quickly that you're parking your car and taking someone else's, or driving separately so you can enjoy the drive alone. Neither option is as fun |

I think we should all just agree that the M3 is the better looking of the two variants and move on

Quite frankly the m3cs was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the m4cs. I drove both and while the m4cs was a pube hair better, 99.9 percent of the time it would be exactly the same. Just because I have the money doesn't mean I can't opt for the better deal.

Plus, I think part of the issue here is that the CS is the top trim level for the M3, while CS is not top trim level for the M4 (GTS).

I don't have kids. My friends don't have kids. We all agree the m3 with it's flared rear arches and proportions just looks better to the eye. The performance difference is negligible.
But you can find much better deals on M4s

As opposed to the M3cs, I don’t believe there’s an actual limit on total M4cs production volume.
