Actually it isn't. It's the sedan version of a E30, so track thing is not exactly ideal. And drifting? I'll argue that with you all day everyday. S-chassis will forever dominate that spectrum..
All e30's are sedans. Why do you think they made the sports sedan category? Haha. But yes, 4 doors are are better for the track I think. You can weld the doors for more structural rigidity, and I'm pretty sure they are more rigid stock? I think being able to put another set of tires in the back seat is bad ass. Also, drifting as a hobby is normally done on a budget right? Find me a decent s chassis for 500$

In theory you get more torsional rigidity with a 4dr since the door area is smaller and you have a shorter unsupported distance for the roof and unibody.
If this thread derails into a war of coupe vs. sedan semantics I will ban you all.

No one tracks a completely stock car. Sedans weigh more, and you can buy torsion bars, frame stiffening stuff if you wanna track it. Just saying.

How the hell did you get any car with 20k miles on it for 800$. That's like impossible. Sexual favors? Hahaha.
Also, this is what Nando from r3v said. He's a very respected moderator by the way.
"all E30s are sedans. Who do you think invented the sports sedan category? they didn't make a 3 series coupe until the E36."
Touring doesn't count by the way haha

Haha the 325is 2 door weights 10 pounds less. 2 door e30 is definitely not superior on the track. Less rigid, and once you cage it, it's a lot easier to get into the back.

Also, little update- drove home from lunch, stopped, and basically the car performed an auto radiator flush. Not quite sure what caused it, but it sure happened. Damn vw. I love this car. Everything about It really, just the damn wrong wheel drive.

You realize if you wanna go do track days/drift days. You cannot build your own roll cage. unless you're welds are really good..
2 door coupe. you're an idiot bandwagoneer if you think it's 2 door sedan. I don't give a shit what anyone says. If it's 2 doors, it's a coupe.

If I have a miller tig welder, and ample amount of skill, my welds are going to be good sir
