Tokyo Motor Show: Practical performance with BMW's M3 Sedan
Click the above image for more pictures of the BMW M3 Sedan
There hasn't been a BMW M3 sedan since the E36 generation, but that doesn't mean BMW has forgotten how to build a fast saloon car. The M3 Sedan takes everything good about the M3 coupe and adds two doors to the mix, allowing you to better justify the purchase with your significant other. BMW has thrown out the standard headlights on the sedan and replaced them with the lights found on the coupe, giving it a more sporting design in the process.The basic specs are all the same as the coupe, but you should check out our previous post on the M3 Sedan to find out more.

looks very good - much nicer than the standard 3 series. i wonder how it will compete against the current RS4 sedan, which is stopping production in a couple months...

Wider rear tires for the M3 perhaps, 275s
and the RS4 could have used 265s all around.

Well.. it's heavier then the coupe which was heavier then the RS4, so I'd wager competitive but not exceeding the envelope of the RS4's 0-60, track time, etc.

Zamafir, where do you get your facts from? RS4 is a heavy mofo, comes in at 3957lbs (taken from www.audiusa.com). BMW 3531 lbs (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/06/2008-bmw-m3-sedan-unveiled/)
RS4 does have the AWD system but AWD systems do not weight extra 400lbs.

I'm glad they're finally bringing it back, but I actually prefer the regular sedan's headlights to those on the coupe -- they just look more aggressive to me with that slight scowl. JMO.
