1st shot is top notch.

I'm not not a fan of BBS - LM, but this is a decent exicution.

Not even the wheels can make the sedan look good.

Would be way sexier on an Alpine coupe.

I have seen better looking japanese wheels in the same design with less of a fat rim where the bolts are. It makes the wheel look so small

I don't know what it is with this generation of the 3 series, but I like the sedan a whole lot more than the coupe. I would usually take a coupe over a sedan any day, but the E92/93 just doesn't do it for me for some reason. That E90 M3 looks REALLY good IMO. If I were to get a current 3 series, it would be an E90 M3 without a doubt; maybe next year...

that M3 sedan looks hot with those LM's! the only thing i don't like about the sedan are the tail lights. it just doesn't look aggressive.

Thumbs up Ferocious e92 //M3 Custom Exhaust! Identify?
The CAR Looks fantastic and sounds I N S A N E...

All 3 are of the same car. Most aftermarket exhausts I've heard for this car are raspy. This one is very throaty and deep. Love it! Anyone can identify?

That is a mean exhaust note!

Also, that street that the M3 took off on is a major road in Glendale, CA (I think), which also has a lot of ticket happy cops!

The M3 sounds like a banshee

Those wheels look fantastic! Do I hear 7 series for M3?

What's crazy is that the mid pipes are the same. Great sound on a great car.

Wonder if they make that for the e46 M3?

More like M3 for a second ride...

7 is free and clear and makes for such a great cruiser and family hauler.

I've just had that "itch" or shall I say... "Need for Speed" lately. And I've been up close and personal with the new M3 several times.
I like the practicality of the M3 or even GT-R with back seats/storage/room as opposed to an all-out 2-seater. It's a much easier sell to the Mrs.

A white one setup proper-like is really hard to deny:





And my personal fav for shoes and the look i would go for:
