Agreed, both are beautiful. I actually prefer the M3 sedan over the M3 coupe.

BUT, LOVE the looks of the 1M.

the 135 is polarizing, I remember early on folks either love or hate it. I was in the love category. When my wife bought an X3 back in 2007/2008 I test drove a 135 and alomst immediately I asked the associate "will there be an M version of this???"

particular aspects I can appreciate
1) the wiiiiiddde stance - just love that aggressiveness.
2) shorter, more compact length.
3) the potbelly!!!!
4) that front intake bumper setup

this car is short, wide, and mean - kinda like me. Except Im more fat than muscle.

Dont like:
1) the air scoops in back
2) dented front/side fender with M emblem - looks forced and nonfunctional


for M3
like almost everything about the sedan!
The coupe to me just has the "too long" appearance.
Love the hood bulge!
Love the front bumper/intake.

The front end of both cars looks to me like angry dude clinching teeth.
