: : : If you want a 4 door M3, like myself, please either write a short letter or e-mail to BMW NA and make them aware of how many people out there will pay for an M3 if it comes with 4 doors but maybe not if in 2 door only.
: : : For those who think it won't make a difference, the E36 M3 sedan was never meant for the US market until fans started a letter writing campaign lead by BMW CCA and then the sedan went on to take 50% of M3 sales.

: : : BMW of North America, Inc.
: : : 300 Chestnut Ridge Road
: : : Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07675

: To quote from Roundel Magazine October, 1998: "Shortly after the M3 became available, the sedan began outselling the coupe, accounting for 55% of M3 sales. Through June of this year (1998), 48% of M3 seales were sedans, far outselling both the coupe and the new convertible".

: Hopefully, this clears up all the arguments and name-calling...You're very welcome.
