weird, I prefer the e92 over the e90. In m3 forms the sedan looks better then the coupe

glad to see they got rid of the chrome mustache too.

I do not care for the E92 headlights though.

(Not an original observation, but...)

With the hood ornament covered like this, I just have no idea what kind of car this is.

As much as I dislike the new M3 coupe, the sedan is still quite appealing (in the same way that an E39 M5 is still a good car to own).

If you see the M3 as a proper sports car, it has many flaws. But for a "sporty family sedan", you can overlook a lot of things (weight...etc).

Personally, I think it looks much better in sedan form. I don't care for the coupe's look at all.

It looks damn good in Le Mans Blue!

BTW, that 2nd pic was shoplifted from the E30 SIG as Gary Bossert took it and many more while he was in Germany recently.

Well, regardless of how it drives, I won't be able to afford it. And if I could, I'd get a 997 instead.

I'm still enamored of my car's looks--the e46 sport package (after the facelift). I prefer it to the non-sport pack by a mile and prefer it even to the M iteration. The e90/e92 are okay. I suppose they will grow on me over time.
