I just wanted to sound like Jeremy Clarkson with the accent over the e. So let's hear what you think. Looks, handling feel, weight, personal preference, etc.

I'm part of the 4 door haters club. They are for old people and people with a family. For the life of me i have no idea why kids think they are even cool.... Also i consider most 4 doors parts cars. I'm not talking about the 5 series, seeing its only made in 4 doors. But other cars that came in two doors. I know when i was growing up, it was taboo to have a 4 door and usually you got made fun of. But it seems that the under 25 crowd could care less about the door count. /rant.

BMW is built on the premise that an everyday car capable of carrying 2 or more in comfort can be useful AND entertaining. That applies to roadsters, coupes, AND saloons (to continue the Clarkson theme). Beyond that it comes down to looks and there its all individual.Sterling Silver 1990 325i BMWCCA #24133

I've got a sedan and a coupe. I love `em both equally! The sedan is going to be the track car, and the Coupe the DD. But I have kids, and I will seriously miss the practicality the Sedan had... Plus, when the E30 Sedans are done RIGHT, I think they looke great!Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.

Sedan:
Better if you have friends or multiple people.
Better if you have cargo of sorts.
Better to hook out of, like slamming did a few years back.
Still get the same performance as a coupe, but it's more convenient for real life.
Coupe:
Better looking than sedan
Makes you have the illusion of race car.
Will have ricers try to race you more often.
Ok basically who gives a fuck if you've got two or four doors when your behind the wheel, going down the road? An e30 still feels like an e30 with either number of doors.sigpic

I've had both. Sedan is more practical for a DD. Sure, people might not like it because it's 2 door, but I am starting to see more 2 doors around and less 4 door E30's.
Would you hate on an E46 because it was 4 door? I sure as shit wouldn't.

first off, two door e30s are still sedans because they have C pillars. second, if they have C pillars, they obviously have B pillars.
and thirdly, the argument you want to make is that 4 doors might have better torsional rigidity due to the drivers door being a much smaller gap in the frame.AWD > RWD

I like my 4 door. Same weight as a coupe, same performance as a coupe, looks as good as a coupe, can go get coffee with my dog in the mornings.
