\n<\/em><\/strong>Between the emergence of the M3 GTS<\/a> and the Competition Package<\/a> – to say nothing of the new 335is<\/a> – there’s been plenty of news for fans of BMW<\/a>‘s performance-oriented 3 Series<\/a>. Unfortunately, not all of it is good, as reports indicate that the Bavarian automaker is looking to discontinue the four-door M3<\/a> sedan.<\/p>\n

Although the current M3 sedan looks poised to continue through to the end of its current lifecycle, sources suggest that the next-gen M3 will remain a two-door (coupe and convertible) affair only. The reason has apparently been cited as lagging sales for the V8 super-sedan, which was highly demanded by American buyers in the previous generation but has failed to live up to its potential in the marketplace. So if you’ve been eying that M3 sedan on the local dealer’s lot but were waiting to see what the next model would bring, now may be the time, hombre.<\/p>\n
