I love M3 sedans. Wish they'd make the current M3 as a sedan.

making the M3 in sedan and convertible form was pure blasphemy. I'm glad BMW actually did something smart and at least stopped making the sedan.

Sedan is no big deal, it's not really heavier. The convertible however adds like 350 lbs and cuts down on body stiffness.

And there is sort of an "M3 sedan" in the form of the 330i Performance Package.

Performance items
  • 6-speed manual
  • final drive ratio shortened from 2.93 to 3.07
  • horsepower up from 225 to 235 hp
  • torque up from 214 to 222 lb/ft
  • redline up from 6500 to 6800
  • top speed limiter increased from 128 to 155 mph
  • stiffer springs, higher shock damping rates
  • 18" M Double Spoke wheels, 225/40-18 front and 255/35-18 rear tires
Exterior
  • aero package: front airdam, side skirts, rear deck spoiler, rear lower apron
  • black rimmed headlights
  • twin matte-finish stainless steel exhausts
  • high gloss "shadowline" trim around windows
Interior
  • 3-spoke M sport steering wheel with Alcantra wrapped rim
  • 8-way power front seats covered with Alcantra and black cloth
  • aluminum interior trim in "black cube" or "silver cube" design
  • instruments with red needles and 6800 redline on tach
