All looks normal-ish, right?  But no, look!    |

I opened this expecting not to like it. I was pleasantly surprised, it's actually a really lovely looking car, all the better for not having polished lips on those BBS wheels. Perhaps a bit less stretch (if possible)
One thing that got my OCD imploding is the graphics on the door. It makes it look like the owner has just fitted a door from another E30. With a bit of thought, that could easily be turned into a striking set of graphics/livery, but as it stands, to me, it really jars with an otherwise nicely presented car.

That's rather lovely. I like almost everything I see there, though I am with Bruce when it comes to the graphics.
9/10. Would own. Now please deliver it to me, I'll be at home all night.

Extend the graphics into the rear 3rd quarter and that would make a world of difference. The stretch just doesn't do anything to me now a days. It's like seeing a porno mag again. I need something more corrupt and perverted to get my juices flowing now. Bit like stretch and stance as a moniker for car modification. It's like a Delia Smith recipe for Yorkshire puddings rather than something that's going to be revolutionary and avant garde.
NOT that I dislike the car.
I'm not the most avid of BMW fans but a well presented M3 will always epitomise my youth in the 80s, ergo will always be special in my eyes, even if 80s pornography has left a foul taste In my life.

None if it cannot be reversed... Cant see the purists having much to beef about.
I approve!

I like that.
A lot.
As said, lose the silly stretch and extend the graphics, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.
The finish on the BBS makes a refreshing change and works well with the overall package

Love it apart from the kerb catcher lips on the rims. Painted white like that, they look awesome.

Based on the title, I was sure this was going to have an LS1 V8 in the front of it!   |

FTR I noticed something out of the ordinary from the first picture, so it would never have got past me as a 'stock' car anyway, and I'm not a purist... Now, paint it lurid pink and affix some air suspension, then we could phone "straightsix" magazine and wait for the uproar to ascend.. |
