LOVE IT! I just wish the front bumper was diff. This bumper belongs on a 335 not an M.

Hmmmmmmmmm....
I have to admit that I am not immediately taken with the looks of this car. I remember the first time I saw the E46, WOW! what a beautiful car.
I do not like the side profile view of this car. The bump in the hood is the main thing, and I'm not sure about the 'gills' yet on this model.
Some of the front angle pics look good...if it hides or minimizes the bump in the hood.
Is it just me, or does the wheel-wells look big on this car? There looks to be a pretty big tire gap and a lot of rubber showing...even with 19's. The E46 M3 looks great with 19's, even the stock wheels on the stock suspension.
I think the pics of the modified E92 3-series a few threads below this look amazing... I know it is aftermarket, but how hard is it to eliminate the wheel gap on an 'M' car?? Look at the 4th pic down: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=69706
That 3-series looks mean and clean. If you pull up the profile shot of the red M3 above, and that silver 3-series....which do you think is better?????
That said, hopefully it will grow on me (I'm sure it will in person)....or Vorsteiner makes a 'bump' delete carbon fiber hood.
But in the end....driving it will be the true test. If I had to decide today, I would pick up a clean E46 M3, and mod it for less than the cost of a new one. ACS M3 and ThisFlyGuy have 2 beautiful examples....
Just my 2 cents.....
BTW...put over 200 miles at the willow springs big track, and 100 miles on the streets of willow about a week or so ago (2 different days). Gotta admit that I still love my E36 M3 on the track!
