2008 BMW M3 4-door Sedan !!

[DarkThinker]

I have just found out, BMW is finally releasing an M3 Sedan

What do you mean, hell has frozen over? There was an E36 M3 sedan, and to me it just makes sense to offer consumers that option. BMW always said that the only reason they didn't offer an E46 M3 sedan was that the E46 coupe and sedan had different chassis and they couldn't put sufficiently wide wheels on the E46 sedan.

Well that's true, but they haven't made an M3 sedan since 1998, I wasn't expecting an M3 sedan anytime soon. I used to think that BMW was holding back on M3 Sedan because they didn't want the M3 to compete with the M5, it used to be as you know for the recent generations that if you wanted a 4 door M, you had to shell the money for an M5 which is obviously a good deal of $$ more than an M3.

It's all about market segments and what the competition has, not what you have yourself. Plus the M5 is way too expensive to expect an M3 lover wanting a sedan to buy one.

I'm also stoked about the sedan coming back, but I'm not so stoked that I'd have to wait at least two years before I could afford one.

Yes, in the negative sense

If this is true, then fk YES. Now I will consider a M3 if theres a sedan version of it.

1998 really isn't that long ago...
