I didn't see anything in any of the other threads here, so I'll just ask:

Will there be a 4-door E90 M3? Anyone know?

Personally I want one and would buy one if I could afford it...

I think the FAQ said something about an available M body style kit available for the 4-doors in Europe, but no announcement about Americas availability.

I read its going to be released here as an 08 model.:alright

no 4 door

From what I've been told and reading, there will be a 4 door known as the E90 M3. E92 designates coupe.

Road & Track magazine has the first images of the highly anticipated BMW M3 coupe on American soil.

The new M3 will go on the market in 2007, followed in 2008 by a convertible and a return of the four-door M3.

I hope they stick to 2 door only. M 4 doors should be left to the 5 series.

cant wait ... saving up ma money ;)

I plan to buy a 4 dr when it comes out. I have owned 2 of the e36 4 door cars. There is a market for it with us older guys with kids that want something to autox/track.

4 doors only for me!

:shifty

What? Why? Please share your impermeable wisdom with us.

hmmm 4 door will be interesting...i know a lot of ppl wanted a 4 door e46...and the zhp, as great of car it is, did not cut it for those seeking the 4 door m3...they are making a smart decision if they actually decide to follow up with an 08 4 door m3

I hope they stick to 2 door only. M 4 doors should be left to the 5 series.

My 8-month-old would jump out of his car seat and kick your @#$% - of course I'd say: hey hey be gentle..

M3/4 coolest thing on earth (next to a M3 Touring if they were to make one)

If they don't... RS4 for me.

I hope they make the 4-door M3 just because in my opinion the new sedan looks much better then the coupe, plus add in the utility of a sedan...should make a great performance car.

E90 M3 4-door FTW :)

I just hope they redesign the "E90" M3 a bit before they release it, the E90 is butt fugly, I think the E92's front end looks much better.

I think

4 doors only for me!
Werd. I'm buying the E90 M3 if it comes out.

It's silly not to make an M3 in a four door...there are so many people that didn't buy the E46M because it was only a coupe.

It would be a welcome model I'm sure.

Won't be able to fork out the cash for a new one, but wifey has given me the green light on an E46M Convertible :buttrock

screw 4 door M3s, get an M5

i don't know why my buddies hate the M3/4. I think it's a genius idea.

screw 4 door M3s, get an M5

$25K more and a heavier car... and even more ugly.

I am also awaiting a 4 door. I read a while back that there was actually going to be a touring, or iT version as well. If so, ill hold out as long as it takes for one of those. Being an Mcoupe guy, the hatch is for me!

-Jeff

a touring M3 would be so sick. i'm not a big fan of touring models, but that would just be ridiculous. i would definately get one!

They are somewhat big in Europe. No sure they'd bring it here even if it was made.

when i read that, they were actually saying that there could be a wagon before a sedan, i think it was auto week, but this was some time ago. i know this is probably fantasy land, but it's wat i want!


-jeff

There will be no 4 door M3.

support? heard where? you say that just as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. we'd love some more info please.


jeff

There will be no 4 door M3.

way to back that up. :)

i would love an e90 m3. ultimately, i would love to keep the coupe forever, but i know that i will need a sedan. what better, than an e90 m3. plus i hear the sedan's are more ridgid for better handling.

Yeah it would. But I'll go crazier with a M3diT. Diesel for fuel economy, touring for, well...touring, and M for the performance* of course.

*Engine performance will be adversely affected by the replacement of the 415ish hp V8 with a turbo diesel. However, handling performance will remain exceptional.
