How many of you...

Will buy the F80 M3 instead of the "M4" coupe to keep with tradition and brand name, even if the M4 may potentially perform better?

AlterZgo · 10-27-2011, 06:05 PM

M3... but not b/c of the name, but rather b/c I actually need a 4 door.

MDyDinanM · 10-27-2011, 07:09 PM

i should maybe post this in another section..not a lot of feedback yet.

dday · 10-27-2011, 07:24 PM

It's a bit of a silly question. Who buys a car you don't want because it has a they like?

BMW269 · 10-28-2011, 05:16 AM

I voted M4, but I do not mean M4 Coupé.

M4 GranCoupé (F84) next to 911 GT3 (991) FTW (yeah dreaming)

advantage20 · 10-28-2011, 06:27 AM

The ///M4 GranCoupé should be awesome

kyleb350 · 10-28-2011, 09:09 AM

A name is just a name. If I prefer the coupe, I'll get it

Drew10 · 10-28-2011, 03:32 PM

I'll buy the coupe. I'll stick an M3 badge on it in protest.

Blindside_137 · 10-28-2011, 04:59 PM

so they will make the M4 grancoupe?

auggiem3 · 10-29-2011, 03:16 PM

I hope the m4 grancoupe is in the works but we haven't seen a recent mule or testing candidate for a normal 3 grancoupe lately.

advantage20 · 10-29-2011, 04:25 PM

All in all it makes sense :

- A range of "classical" sedans turned into supercars (odd numbers) : M5, little sister M3 (and I hope...M7). No carbon fiber roof.
- A range of coupé supercars placed just above the respective "classical" models (even numbers) : M2, M4 & M4GC, M6 & M6GC. Common coupé design cues, issued from the 6 Coupé. Carbon fiber roof at least for M4 and M6 (amongst other special features?)

Envyscorpio · 10-30-2011, 01:48 AM

Or someone could just take the M3 badge and replace the M4 badge if the name is that important.

Off topic, your screen name looks familiar. Have we met before?

+1000.......I need the 4door and the practicality as well. Its a win win situation for a saloon to be this quick.

Spot on for me too, although I still hope the M3 nameplate sticks with the Coupe for traditions sake.

Me too.

ucla bruin · 12-08-2011, 01:10 AM

When's the M4 suppose to be out? M3 (4 door) is going to be released first, right?

Why? Because of looks ?
Don't tell me because of performance reasons. That's just marketing. 99% of
M3 owners won't make a 1/10th second of difference in a circuit lap with or without carbon roof.

Regardless of looks and weight but because the E92 M3 has it and because it would be a nice difference between M sedans and coupés.
