I have the sedan. I think the sedan's looks are better than the coupes. different strokes for different folks. incidentally, no kids, empty nester, downsized from a yukon suv. went back and forth between the mercedes clk350. their coupe's lines are better due to the lack of a pillar on the window. imo.

I believe the coupe's rear seats can entirely fold down.
That's a real practical advantage if you ask me. Also,
the aerokit on the sedan looks inperceptable compared to
the standard. The coupe's aero kit looks nice (at least the front bumper does).
 
The couple cost roughly $2.3k more than the sedan. That's 4.7% more than the sedan optioned out some.

You can get fold down seats for either the Sedan or the Coupe.

The sedan doesn't have fold down seats I believe. They have this skinny
plastic fold down pouch or something like that big enough to allow skiis or
something to go through it. You can see it on bmwusa.com's build your own car thingy.
 
The coupe allows the entire rear seats to fold down I believe.
 
This is according to my understanding after visiting a BMW dealer recently.
I saw the sedan's pouch fold down, but I didn't see the coupe's seats fold down.
I'm going by what the sale's rep told me. Please do inform if I'm wrong.

Incorrect, the Sedan CAN be purchased with "Split-folding rear seats including ski bag".

That's great news to me.
Thanks sincerely for the information.
 
How much does such an option cost? Just wondering? I didn't see it on
bmwusa.com..but I will check again later.

Per the BMW-USA web site, the split folding rear seats can be had as a stand-alone option for $475 or as part of the Cold Weather Package for $1,000.

I'm also debating about this debacle. I recall there being an added feature on the coupe that's not on the sedan, but I don't recall right now. One thing is that I like the coupe's back seat better than the others I've been comparing it's class/price range.

You may be thinking of the Sport Suspension which is standard on all 3-Series Coupes and available as part of the Sport Package on the Sedans. Yes, no?

I think you're right as well as some of the cosmetics on the car such as the rims, back seats, and colors that are available as standard in the coupes.
