    325 Coupe and Sedan differences? Please post pics of clean 4-door E30's

    I'm considering expanding my search to 4-door models as well as the coupe. What're the differences between the coupe and sedan in terms of speed, handling, ect.?

    Please post some pics of some clean 4-door E30's.

      mine, not so hot but yea, i like it. The 4 doors is really a nice convience for me. However i still wonder the same questions as you do as far as handling goes.

        More or less the same in every aspect. The bodies and cabins are actually the same size. The 4 doors are slightly heavier, but people say they are slightly stiffer too. You probably won't notice the difference.

            The 4-doors are the same except they have 4-doors. The benches,everything is the same - you can just get at the back more easily, haha. In my 4-door and now I have sports seats in there..

                  A bone stock eta with homemade clear signals all around nonetheless.

                  Anyways, the rear benches are not the same. The corners are more round so you can slide into the car easier.

                    Ive heard the stiffer argument but I think its BS. All E30s are sedans so we all have structural B-pillars. Ours are just a bit father back but the unibody is solid back there instead of having a big hole in it.

                    I think people *think* they are stiffer because of less play in the doors, the smaller doors.
                    Im now E30less.

                      I don't buy it either, thats why I put "people say they are stiffer."

                        I thought the reason people said they were stiffer is becasue of the B piller.

                          Coupes have B-pillars too.
