Default 2008 BMW M3 sedan review
The 4 door beast has arrived!
BMW raises the performance benchmark once again with the introduction of the 2008 M3 Sedan. Sharing the M3 Coupe's high-revving 414-horsepower V8 and balanced chassis that is designed to be "faster than its engine", the motorsports arm of the German auto maker, BMW M GmbH, is pleased to offer the most powerful, highest-performing M3 ever with four doors..."

This is from a new review on 2008 BMW M3 Sedan, from Top Speed. It includes info on the design, safety and performance of the model, as well as other features.

It's not like the IS-F is much of a looker itself. I think the IS350 is a much better looking car than the 3-Series sedan but they really screwed up the IS-F in my opinion. It looks like they had a 12 year old ricer have their way with the car

I think this car looks better and more proportionate than the coupe thought I know many think otherwise.
