Total sales numbers are as mkoesel point out not a good measure on popularity unless given for years when both models were on sale.

In most cases you and
mkoesel make an argument that has merit, but even speaking generally, BMW midsized coupes outsell sedans. Prior to the F8X, the E9X M3 sedan hit the market before the coupe did, and the coupe stayed on the market after the sedan was retired, BUT.....mere availability doesn't totally account for the staggering difference in the sales numbers. We're talking 45,000 coupes sold versus 10,000 sedans sold. That is not a mere availability phenomena. That's evidence of a popularity difference.
