I'd want the four door but the coupe is prettier.

BMW to introduce dual-clutch gearbox in M3 sedan

BMW will debut its first dual-clutch gearbox — dubbed M DCT — in the upcoming M3 Sedan. The sedan is expected to bow at an American auto show, probably either Detroit or Los Angeles. Although the car will also be available with a six-speed manual, the dual-clutch gearbox will use a seven-speed setup.

Co-developed with Getrag, the new gear box promises to be smoother than the outgoing SMG and will feature a shift lever similar to the one found on the X5 as well as paddle shifters.

The M3 Convertible is set to bow soon and is also expected to use the new M DCT technology. The M3 Coupe will likely see the technology as well. A high-performance M3 CSL is also believed to be in the works.

Completely different proportions maybe.
I too think it looks more agressive...The coupe looks sleeker, the sedan ready to explode.

You're right. I misread again. Happens a lot lately....I'm exhausted (<-- excuse)

You think that shifter is weird looking? Do you prefer the old one? I think it looks awesome, but I find the quality in real life a bit disappointing. The thing feels kind of cheap, and it makes weird sounds when you operate it. Both on X5 and 5er

Re: E90 M3 Sedan (Spy pics & info) - 09-19-2007, 11:35 AM

The DC Tranny should be an interesting piece. I`m wondering will it be just as fast as SMG. (Whatever the case it should be more reliable.)

As for the design of the sedan I don`t like the M3 coupes` nose job there.
It looks like a cheap cosmetic job to make the sedan look more sporty.

It takes away from the disinctive flair of the 2-door model.

I believe the M3 sedan would have looked better if BMW kept the 3er sedans headlights with white signal lights instead of this.

I don't think the coupe nose looks that bad, i just dont like the idea of it. It's strange.
