BMW M3 Sedan

For many months now, we’ve heard rumors that BMW will no longer build the M3 sedan after the current product cycle – however, new rumors suggest otherwise. Word has it that the BMW M3 sedan will carry on and it may be the only M3 offered altogether.

Wait? What did we just say? What about the M3 Coupe and M3 Convertible? Apparently, BMW is adopting a new naming strategy where all the coupe and convertible models will get even numbers and all the sedans will keep their current odd numbers (1, 3, 5 and 7 Series).

That mean the next BMW M3 Coupe and BMW M3 Convertible will be known as the BMW M4.

Whatever the case may be, we know that BMW will never retire the legendary M3 nameplate.
