Hello all,
I've been thinking about selling my 00 civic and getting a mid to late 90s M3. I was looking around on the net and found out that I like the 95s. Someone told me that they didn't make 4 doors until later though, and I haven't seen any 95 4 doors. So I was wondering what year they started making the sedans. I really would like a sedan, but my checkbook wants me to buy something around a 95. I don't mind getting a coupe, they're very nice looking, but I would really prefer a sedan. This will be a car that I keep for a while, and I'll probably be married soon so it will be my family car also. That's why I want a sedan, and plus I love the way the sedans look, probably even more than the coupes. So what would you guys recommend for me? Just getting a coupe within the next 6 months or saving even longer to buy a newer sedan after a year or two? Thanx

M3 doesn't come in a sedan. Only Coupe and convertible. If you want a 4 door, you will have to spend more and get the M5.

I'm sure this one would be in your price range! :p

No, E36 M3 does come in a sedan.. but I believe it's post 96 model.

The 95 and 96 models were only coupes, but 97 and on they started making sedans. So, the earliest model M3 with 4 doors is a 97. If I were you I would sell the civic and get an M3 you'll have a lot more fun driving an M3 :D :D But, since you want to keep this car for a while you should get what you really want, which sounds like the sedan. Just save up and in the end it'll all be worth it.

Alright, cool guys, thanx. And I'd love to get my hands on that wrecked one above if I could get it for a few grand. Put it in my shop for a couple months and come out with a beautiful car. But I guess I'll just save for a while longer and drive my sucky civic for a while. :( lol
I knew they made sedans, just wasn't quite sure what year they started. Thanx for the help guys. :)
