Went to my local store the other day and parked next to a black E36.
Anyway, wish I had my camera with me. This bad boy, with an M3 badge on the back, M badging on the side trim, M steering wheel and M type rims, had four doors and a steptronic
I know there has been some discussion that at some point we might see a four door M3. Perhaps this guy was driving a test mule

I'm probably not explaining it well, but this definitely wasn't the genuine article. Either way I never realized that there was a 4 door m3!!

e36 m3 came in 4doors. e46 m3 did not
I was sure this was a lame copy (and I think it probably still was) but maybe it wasn't quite as unlikely as I thought
