/\ nah. Exhaust are way off. Looks like a kit car based off mr2. Sizewise it looks smaller than that 3series.

Oh.. good eye then. That'd be a shame if true. It's hard to tell from the cell phone pic. Now that you mentioned it, the dimensions do seem a bit strange.

The car is way to narrow to be authentic. Nice attempts but no cigar

I think you're right about is being a kit car, I found these:

Both of the OPs are in the Bay Area as well. I spotted it in an area where I've also seen a good amount of exotics (Veyons, Conti GTs, R8s, numerous Ferraris and Lambos) so I didn't immediately cross my mind that it was a fake! haha
Although it's a fake, the work appeared to be pretty well done.

I was wondering why the car looked so small...
