 couple rigidity/body strength vs. sedan



Hi, i know the new 3 is out for a while but should i wait for 2 door couple to release? i really don't care the looking, but for the money should i pay less get a 4 door and upgrade to sport package, rather than pay more money just for sporty look?

and anyone know what have better rigidity and more stiffness of body construction between coupe and sedan?

sedans are much more rigid because they have pillars between the front and rear doors which the coupe lacks. Its like two extra braces so there is less "twist" on the body during hard maneuvering. There were torsional numbers for the coupe and sedan with and without folding rear seats (which also make it more flexible) posted on this bored sometime back if you do a search.

Just imagine all those times you can just open the back door instead of folding the front seat down and diving in the little hole will more than make up for the "unsporty" look. get a sedan

Forgive my curiosity, but are you an Anglophone or a Francophone? Or was your native tongue something else?

English is not my mother tongue
