I don't know about balance but the chassis stiffness comment piqued my interest and I may be about to take this thread on a tangent so sorry in advance. Its a moot point once you had a cage.
Traditionally at least, Coupes were the sportier variant for a lot of makes and models because less doors means more welded chassis and higher rigidity as a result.

For those interested :-
This thread, http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=340216&page=2

specifically says that E92s are 25% stiffer. I followed the link in the thread but its expired but i still believe that the coupe would be stiffer.
