The E90 M3 coupe is scheduled to debut in late 2006 with a convertible version AND A FOUR DOOR SEDAN (after a ten-year absence) to follow along with a 440-horsepower CSL version.
So, good news now I just wonder exactly when and if it will be a manual.

Really. Roundel doesn't get much right in predicting future models.

They did a pretty good job back in '97

Yeah, but what have they predicted so well lately?

According to BMW talk around when the E46 came out, they could not do an M3 sedan because they would have had to completely re-engineer the rear doors, to allow for the wheelarch bulges (the E46 M3 has a wider rear track, tires etc. to cope with the extra power, but the E36 had identical bodies to the non-M versions).
I think they may have a similar issue with the E90: http://totalcar.index.hu/images/test...305bem_035.jpg
There is not enough room left between the trailing edge of the rear door and the wheel opening to accomodate a large bulge.
Unless of course they allowed for that re-engineer from the beginning and they're hoping to sell many M3 sedans to make it worthwhile. Actually if memory serves right, in 97 and 98 they sold as many or more sedans as coupes. So they could be onto something.
If they come out with a sedan (and there is no 330i turbo sedan as rumored), I'll buy one.
