Cool New M3: Coupe or Sedan?

I know we all love the 1 here...but if money was no object, it's a pretty safe assumption that most of us would have a M3 in the garage, right? Sooo...my question is this: Coupe or Sedan? Vote, and feel free to leave comments! I just thought this might be fun..

It's already a huge car, might as well add the doors.

I prefer the look of the coupe over the sedan, especially the shape of the rear lights.

I like the proportions of the sedan better, but the coupe has the optional CF roof. I would probably get the sedan.

There is a reason why most of BMW dealers have more unsold Sedan then Coupe. Almost 50% of you guys choice sedan. If all M3 buyers think like you guys then there won't be so many unsold sedans on the lot.
I choice COUPE.

sedan for me. I think it's only 0.1 sec slower than the coupe. Not much of a loss for the extra doors.

when i saw them next to eachother at the autoshow, i made an interesting observation. I think the front of the sedan looks better but the coupe's ass is definitely nicer. since i value face over ass, i thought the sedan would be the way to go. but, then i drove a sedan 3 series for a couple of days. and i freaking hated it. the front doors are really short and I kept hitting my elbow on the B pillar and that stupid pillar kept blocking my view when i'd look over my shoulder to switch lanes. so i think if i ever need a sedan, i'd go with a 5 series.
