Sedan. Because they are have the best sleeper aspect. No one expects to be schooled by a 4 door. Especially an 80's BMW.

To boot, I own a coupe (trans am) and dont need another. I would like to have a fast coupe and a fast sedan. So I went with E30 in the sedan section.

Also, the sedans have more structural rigidity.

I thought they were the same? no?


I have owned both - I say go for the coupe and make it a play car.

For a fun, personal, sporty car I prefer the coupe. My biggest reason is that I hate having people in my back seat. They never seem to have respect for the vehicle. 2 doors is a good excuse to keep passengers away.

I just dont like the look of E30 4-doors, for whatever reason. I have E36 and E46 sedans, and I prefer 4 doors on those.

It's just something about the coupe E30.

4 doors for more whores!

4 door easier to load track tires in the back and trunk than squeezing them past bar and seats. PIA. Not in trailer mode yet need too.

4 door for later on welding doors for increased rigidity. Plus they are cheaper most of the time.

Sedan..already have an ap1 to push around.

for a moment i thought i was gonna make it through the whole thread without anyone bringing that up.

e30s are flexi-flyers, and i used to throw my coupe into corners hard enough that i'd get wind noise from the doorframe. my 'vert? don't even ask.

if i had the chance to build my current car over again, i'd absolutely start with an m42 sedan.

Just like everyone else said, I say go with a coupayy. Check sig ;)

[Chabs]

i voted either but the coupes look nicer. they're so rare in nova scotia that i'd buy either haha

coupe......but a sedan with an mtech2 bodykit looks amazing

[2002maniac]

I hate how small the doors are on the sedan. I have long legs and the coupe is more comfortable.

all E30s are sedans. Who do you think invented the sports sedan category? they didn't make a 3 series coupe until the E36.

but, I like the 4 door, better access to the rear seat (for parts/tools/tires, etc).
