Adrianc333 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 We knew it was coming, but still sad to see. http://jalopnik.com/the-bmw-m3-coupe-is-officially-dead-677228405?utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_facebook&utm_source=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mit Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 There's still room for a M3 Saloon and Touring though... Rich_D and Ghillie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Syxx Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Not the same though. M3 was introduced as a coupe. Aly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan316i Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 There's still room for a M3 Saloon and Touring though... Cant see a Touring coming, BMW wont make an F11 M5 as the E61 didnt sell in any real numbers And there's never been an M3 Touring (offically) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickzsingh Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's a shame..For me the best ever m3 was the e30 m3 followed by the e46! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 It will be back once they realise what a mistake they have made Not like it is being killed off, just a name change, it will live on as the M4 and unless they axe the whole 4 series range then there will never be another 3 series coupe, letalone an M3 coupe momo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenkus28 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Prices are bound to go through the roof now. Even for the e46s<br /><br />Sent from my GT-N7000<br /><br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Can't see it affecting E46 prices TBH, but I can see E93 prices being strengthened As I've mentioned above though, it's not like they are killing it off, they are just renaming it, so you can still buy an M4 if you want a coupe There's a 2 series coming out as well, effectively the coupe range of the 1 series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now however even the E46 M3 would be a sort of collectable so as there is no more 3 series M.

Rich_D Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 E46 M3's are holding their money well already and as they get older and rarer, this will only strengthen residuals, the 4 series will have minimal effect IMO ellisg93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nig225 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 in my mind the coupe is the only way an M3 should be , but then agian maybe im bias lol YemiTheOne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Don't understand when people get upset about this. It's just a rebrand.. It's not being killed off. Personally I think the worst thing about it is that they're dropping the NA engine. Don't get me wrong I love turbo engines (esp. being a diesel owner) but the truly great //M engines were all NA's. They should've stayed NA.. Saying that though I 100% understand why they've done it. I just wish they do like an M3 CSL with a high-revving NA engine. mit and Nimraynn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewster Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 A sad day but think of it this way a well kept e46/90 coupe will hold its value well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 i think its a good thing really. there's far to much living in the past for car manufacturers, about time someone stood up and did something new rather than hoping that a name steeped in history will help shift some overweight wannabe. GTi anybody? Lets face it, the last m3 is so far removed from the e30 version its about time they came up with a new name. Hopefully it'll force them to actually make something worth remembering rather than just slapping a memorable badge on the boot and hoping that's enough.

Had0uken! Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 They still make the m3 though, it's just now a 4 door! I personally don't see how it'd affect the value of the e9x and e46 m3's as someone who wants a NEW 2 door M3 would just buy an M4 :s and anyone who wanted an M3 would just continue buying the M3. It's like when they discontinued the compact when they went from e46 to e9x, I haven't seen the demand/prices of the compacts shoot up now as they're no longer made:.. People just buy a 1 series instead! :s momo and joewatkiss 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
