It has been debated on BMW forums for a long time, but many feel the sedan version of the 3 series has always handled and drove a little better than the coupe version because it is stiffer due to the contruction of the car itself. Personally, I can't tell the difference, but it just shows that maybe coupes don't aways handle better than their sedan brothers. Obviously I have no idea how either compares to a G35 Coupe, but I just thought it would be fun to throw in that info about the BMW sedans
