Lets discuss: The coupe 3 series will be badged M4...

[///Shaun]

To me it will always be ///M3

FFS I have a damn tattoo with it. Its a cult , love , passion , obsession , sexual feeling

:rollsmile:

 

[BLACK MACHINE]

M3...no matter where you're from or what language you speak, everyone relates to the name and its history...
Personally I still prefer the M3 badge..:thumbs:

 

[Fordkoppie]

There is A LOT of history in the M3 name

Precicely, and that name should not be messed with.
..............but, BMW does strange things lately. (and none of which I personally like at all btw)

Whats in a badge ?

You still gonna get a M3 (sedan)

M3 or M4, Its still gonna be awesome.

Strangely enough, the entire 6 series range are a coupes....
6 Series Coupe = 2 door
6 Series Grand "Coupe" = 4 door
6 Series Convertible = 2 door

So, I wonder if they going to do some re-badging there ???

They could keep the M3 Coupe as a 3 Series "Grand Coupe"... :fencelook:

The 4 door 6 series M will then be the M6.5 :rollsmile:

[444YYY]

Bump

Seeing that the last M3 coupe ever produced, is now currently in the news....

 

[matthewproctor]

M4, just doesn't feel right!

 

[ASH]

Yeah, I agree, it sounds like a road name.

M4, just doesn't feel right!

 

[444YYY]

Bump...

Seeing that the M4 concept is now available...

 

[darrenrsa]

I feel.. that you're right, the M3 may have been a coupe, but the 3 series as a whole has the image of a sedan, that's their market. So yes, the m3 was a coupe, but the 3 series "was a sedan". It's easier to rebrand ONE model, than an entire model range to 4, just to keep the one model of M3.

I think as well, that you're in saying that the M4 IS the latest variant of the M3 coupe and should always be looked at as that and as an old model with a fine history. I'm happy that our model can become more aggressive - less modding needed etc because they are very aggressive looking, and would look so amazing with mods

And the M3 going forward, should be looked at as the new guy on the block, hoping to see something exciting!

Nice that our model could be upgraded and be more aggressive like it deserves to be, and that we can have a "laid back' model too :rollsmile:

On a side note, 4 Series for 4 door cars would have made sense.. haha.
and the m3 bad will go down in history.. perhaps m3 inspired visual mods to m4 with an m3 sidebadge somewhere :rollsmile:

While the m3 name has a place etched into our hearts at the end of the day m4 makes more sense and in reality what they call it doesn't matter,what it does/looks like is what matters.

 

[Jerez]

It has been confirmed, by many sources, that the coupe will be badged M4, and the sedan will be badged M3.

So the M3 coupe, will be no more.....

Everyone will now lust after the M4.....

I understand the marketing reasoning, of creating a different name tag for the coupe, to compete with Audi, as they have the A4/A5....

I still think the legendary M3 badge belongs on the coupe!

What do the fanatics say?

Can we now give e92 M3 an iconic status.

Only M3 V8 ever built
Last of the NA ///Ms

 

[444YYY]
