I have to say I amazed that the new M3 is a V8. Kind goes against the M3 standard ,but they pulled it off.

Thumbs up

The E46 M3 is a definite classic.........To me it looks perfect - everything just flows, even in stock form. Reliability factor is the only negative about buying one.

E92 M3 looks weird to me with ugly bumers......Modded ones r ok.

some owners always have to turn the dial to 11

that rim setup will ruin the car's handling.

Would have looked a bit better if the photos weren't so processed to the point where everything looks fake.

Yeah its ruined to me. Way overboard. Do that to a 7 series or something. I much prefer subtle small mods on an M3.

Well, when you are apart of an e46 fanatics board, things that stand out really look good. I see wayy to many copies of other cars, sorta sad. I decided to skip out on BIMMERFEST this year as a result

Still an iconic car though...... and to many, still revered over the new M3 because of it's high strung inline 6

Great pics

yup. it's iconic just like M5.

i think bangle's design was definitely 2 generation later than e46. you put m3 next current 3series coupe or 5 series, you would think it skipped a generation. love or hate bangle, he was definitely ahead of his time.
