Right about an acquired taste. My first one was given to me because this guy got it for his son and when he finished law school he just left it in his father's driveway for 2 years. I had it towed to my house where it sat in my driveway for 6 months and every time I came home it would just stare at me begging to be brought back to life. I started to keep my eye out and found a clean one in a neighboring state rented a car went down drove it all the way back now I'm definitely a fanatic.

My biggest issue with sedan is with the front windows down there is wind buffeting from the b-pilar next to your ear. Lowering the rear windows solves this, but sometimes I'd like to cruise with just the front windows down.

I prefer coupes personally, I’m biased though cuz I own a 95 m3 coupe. Lol Sedan is stiffer which is nice. Doesn’t really matter for a track car anyways as you will be caging it. Caging the car adds a lot of rigidity. I wonder how much of a difference is felt in a street car. Anyways I didn’t realize you get extra headroom with the sedan. That’s pretty awesome. If you have issues with the seats holding you in, get some cloth seats! I got some M cloth sports seats from a 1994 M design/technic 325is. They hold me in way better than my old leather seats.

Hello guys how u doing there yes sedan is very nice I have 2 of them. On is 318i 93 its has 200k so far an the 2nd one 325i 95 it has only 108 k fully loaded an both r for sale if any body interested just let me know ..im in Florida..

The sedan is about 100lbs heavier give or take having owned both and weighed them. Easy to find 100lbs though without too much compromise.

I couldn’t agree more. In fact I put my money where my mouth is... I’m an original owner of a ‘98 M3/4/5. Regardless of the number of doors the lines are just better on the sedan. The coupes look ‘ricey’ from many angles, And you’re right about the sedan seats.. they suck ass ... there’s no side bolster and support on the sides.

I prefer the coupe especially the more squinty tail lights. To each his own tho.

all sedan windows have full frame window tracks, so they are much more stable, along with no drop-down micro switches. most coupe window problems are from the window itself getting misaligned in the track because you dont have a track running the full length of the window unlike a sedan. i have never had a single window problem on either of my sedans within the 4 years of ownership, and have rebuilt my window regulator assemblies several times on my convertible within the first 2 years of ownership.

yeah its an aquired taste kind of thing.

I know the specs say they weigh the same but the sedan *has to* be heavier. Think about it; B-pillar steel, 2 extra door mechanisms/window motors/locks/extra steel in the doors (for window surrounds). Plus, the sedan is an inch taller - that's more steel (and glass). I think Zee Germans were just a wee bit lazy in the documentation department for those 2 years. I bought a '95 M3 in Dakar brand new in 1995 - so you know I have exceptional taste! I now own a '98 M3 'vert MT and I am here to inform you that anybody who says the Verts are not real M3 are just stupid assholes. :) Okay, I'm now approaching full blown "old fartdom" but I am not using my M3 as a track rat or for AutoX. I use it for ripping around San Diego back roads with the top down and listening to that awesome inline 6 soundtrack. Plus, I have the hard top and it looks pretty awesome with it on in the "winter" here.

I am currently building a new motor for mine. my droptop was my first E36 love lol. as far as sedan weight goes, I am inclined to agree with you, but there are a few factors to account for. yes, it does have 2 aditional doors. that being said, the coupe makes up for some weight by having an unnecessarily large rear window lol and much larger rear quarter panels. im sure aditional unibody steel weighs more than an aluminum window regulator and plastic door mechanisms. in adition to that, the coupe has a larger rear window, and the dimentions of the car aside from height are the same. so the sedan has a shorter hood, shorter fenders, shorter trunk, ect. less weight per body panel compared to its counterpart.

@xuzu9209

Sedans are actually lighter, but it's not such a big deal. In Germany, the E36 is THE cheap track tool and there were and are huge discussions about weight advantage. Long story short: both cars can become really light (sub 1100kg) with a full cage with a lot of mods. Both are really fast on track. The sedan is just a little bit lighter, but the difference is smaller than many think, maybe 30kg for a full race car build.
