I agree with you there fastone...the rear, esp tail lights, is much better in the coupe. Too bad I need a sedan...

I agree, love everything about the coupe but with the sedan, I love everything but the tail-lights.

I was thinking the same thing about the tail lights. I have a 330Ci ZHP that came with the M3 LED tail lights and those are beautiful. Why couldn't this car come with something similar or better!

Does anyone know when either of them arrives in the showroom? My BMW dealer just called me and told me they started a queue for the car with a $300 deposit. But he said he didnt know when they are arriving in showrooms.

The M3 sedan would make for a much better comparison test between the RS4 & C63.

I wouldn't do the coupe for the same reason I won't buy a Z06. I can't pay that kind of money for a car with no moonroof!

I agree, and we've had more than an enough time to get over any initial dislike.
