To each their own.

That car was one of the most dominant M3's in the shows as well as among BMW enthusiasts.

Can't really tell from that pic, but it has a CSL style front bumper with a molded Hamann competition lip.

What you can see is a GTR hood.

*sigh*

It is very amusing to find what BMW enthusiasts see as an amazing project car - and Honda drivers dog on it. I guess it can go both ways.

imo when there is too much done to BMWs they loose their appeal. for me you can take an E46 M3 put on some PSS9s, rims, a muffler and maybe a lip and that's all you need look wise. when you start going to extreme and really changing the look of the car it doesn't look as nice.

IMO...you just give me a stock M3...and that's all it needs.

It all depends on what you mean by modified. But apparently you're saying they look terrible with cosmetic mods, which is not necessarily true because you can still have a nice close to stock looking BMW. Unless you don't like that look either and you just like how they look completely stock. I agree that they look good already stock too though but I wouldn't mind a cosmetic mod here and there or something.

There's plenty of room for correction and modification, who said BMW's were close to perfect?

Yeah, and yoolickmyballs's car was dominant in shows too. :jerkit:




Show cars are nasty, period, end of story.
