M3 Coupe VS. IS-F Sedan
Today, one of my friends just got his 2008 BMW m3 back from getting fixed because they sold him one that was defected, if you guys didn't read the news a while back when the brand new m3's were getting shipped a lot of them were defected, and some how he got one but he got it back today, and he has an custom exhaust put in, wow its an amazing sound, we are going to post up pictures soon cars next to each other.

We raced each other one way starting at 30mph, but i shifted horribly so he had me by maybe 5 feet, and then on the way back we started from 20mph 2nd gear, we were neck and neck the whole time, until around 100mph then i had to slow down car in front of me, but it was amazing, its def a good race, if i did something to my car i think it would def have beaten him, even though the coupe is much lighter i believe cause isn't the sedan m3 c63 and isf going against one another so, yeah just wanted to share my story!
Ill post up videos of his exhaust of how loud it is

Aww if i knew about that article or incident i would've drove over to check it out the port is only 10 mins away from my house... poor bimmers
Till this day I've seen from the day I purchased my F 03/31/2008 I've seen total of 3 M3's..2 Coupes and 1 sedan..I love them..Just the way it looks, coupes that is..As for F, 1 so far..The white really fits on the M3..
In the long run F kills the M3 but straight acceleration slightly slower for M3..
Either way I love both..

Haven't run up against one yet but I would like to. I've only seen one that was a sedan and one coupe
THEGHOST83--- That's right someone who knows how to drive should be able to handle the new M3, dont be scared to burn those tires and put the sport mode on with no vsc...
