Splitting up the 3 sedan and coupe into the 3 and 4 was mostly a marketing decision. The 4 is not actually a higher level car. |

I'm aware though of how bmw uses the odd numbers for sedans and even numbers for coupes.

The only reason it bothers me is that it's all marketing. I bet the engineers had a s*** fit when it was decided that was the direction they were taking. Think about all the history of the M3 and 3 series name being thrown out the window to keep up with some stupid marketing ploy by Audi, the "third" German luxury brand. |

When you have to start explaining that the old M3 is really now the M4 and so on, is when you know someone screwed up.

Higher model numbers basically meant larger cars. Now of course the larger cars had more content which was standard because there was more room in terms of pricing.

Forgetting about nomenclature for a moment, there have been reports that BMW will try to more differentiate the 3er and 4er in the G generation. We'll see in a couple years.

The M3 and M4 won't share the same front end this generation.

reality, its just BMWs new naming convention of SEDAN vs COUPE BUT, only for the 3 series...
in the E36 and E9x ///M3's there is no difference at all between the sedan and coupes. E30 M3 = the ORIGINAL M4 | just waiting 5 generations until it decided to add +1 lol
