That looks INCREDIBLE.. Thats the best looking M3 I've ever seen. The rims look fantastic!.. What kind of side skirts are those? They look great with the Hamann lip..

man that car as usual is getting more and more impresive each time you post pics.I gotta be honest though, those wheels just dont do it for me.I appreciate them for what they are and what car they are on, but had you put a Enkei or Axis centercap on them I woulda just though thats what they were.To me they just dont have that HRE 'feel' to them. I know its the new style but I dunno...... ill shut up now

Damn Peter...looks FRICKIN' NICE AS HELL! I'm not much of a white car fan (nor high polished centers) but that looks DAMN GOOD...

Love the no bolt look... I wish HRE would have made the spokes just a BIT thicker...or maybe the high polish is creating an optical illusion...seems like the 543's have slightly thicker spokes...maybe it's just me?

The interior looks nice too...I would Mercedes has the best looking GREY interior but that one is pretty damn close...why can't Lexus make a good looking grey interior? It always looks...wrong...like something is missing....but it looks good in black and ok in tan...just the grey is wrong...maybe it's the shade of grey...

Did you ever sell the E?

Dougie, they are 3pc wheels with hidden hardware. The rivets fasten on the reverse side for a unique look. Some like them, some don't, but we are always pushing the envelope with the newest stuff. They look 5405665902x better in person.

Hkcitizen, the aero package is all Hamann. The side skirts are the new GT-R versions - this is the second set installed in the country. The interior, strut brace, and stainless steel exhuast are also all from hamann.

Mike, i decided to keep the car as a daily driver. The CLK and the M3 are not for "street duty" anymore, if you know what I mean On a nice weekend, me and my wife will take the M3 for a weekend cruise. The CLK is waaaay yo flashy to have out on the streets (at least comfortably). I will agree though, the ash interior from Mercedes is to die for - probably the best in the business. The very first CLK I looked at many years ago was a 2000 CLK430 cabrio, Magma red with the ash interior - I couldnt afford it at the time, but now everytime I see one on the road it makes me mad

Thanks for all replies - great feedback is what fuels us to build these project cars.
