That has the updated grill/headlights, but the M3 never got the headlight and grill 'date'. It's def not an M3. (unless of course, it was modified, which is a possibility)
Yeah I knew the grill headlight thing....DOH!!!...but I was wondering what difference from the pics it would make to him. Not much i dont think right? So how does he justify the statement?

Come on folks we're all adults here, so please act that way. People are always going to have a difference of opinion, there is no need to result in personal attacks.

And all members are welcomed here, not just BMW owners.
The personal attacks didn't come until the NEW member made a personal attack. I can't imagine the reaction would be different if I went to an audi forum and started talking trash about people's cars that I have never driven, seen, or known a SINGLE thing about.

Eh I think he's mostly trying to say that the performance is more important than the looks, which I tend to agree with.....but then again, an ugly fast car isn't that great either.

Its strange to me as well.....that would me saying all Bimmers are crappy because of all the electronic problems they have....without ever having driven one....err..or something like that....but seriously I think some people are just toooooo fanatical...I mean that is a common problem in the world today isnt it? Fanatics about this or that.....be it Religion or abortion....and it spills over to cars....(shaking head)...what is the world coming to?

Eric, not sure who you mean by the "new" member. I assume you are referring to FWU since you mentioned Audi. If you look at his registration date, you can see that he has been around for a while and not quite a new member.

If you were to go on an Audi forum and spark the same attacks there, I'm sure their admins will step in and do the same in order to keep the arguments from escalating. Like I said before, I'm asking everyone to be above the rest and act like adults.

Freedom of speech is WELL practiced on this board and to be honest, this board is WAY more liberal about the language it allows than most other boards. I have a 10 year old FANATIC like his dad and personally my son doesn't need to read F U and F-off. Difference of opinion is what makes us all individuals but respect for each others opinions is a must. Another outburst or personal attack. I will lock this thread.

Thanks for your understanding.

like blake mentioned the e46 has 4 doors. how could it possibly be an m? i think the car looks pretty damn cool minus the black treatments on the roof and the trunk lid. oh and those black rims are horrific imo. (i've never been fond of colored rims)

Tom, you can't bust an attitude assuming everyone's an "adult" [:p] like some of the posts on this thread, that one came out of the left field imo. i don't get it anyway.. if you keep acting "tough" i might not want to come back [;)].... geesh.

i don't like this fingerpointing, "how dare he make a personal attack, I'm ah yell back with power of the F bombs!!' well let me give you a virtural pat on the back. you should be real proud of yourselves.

Nah you're just misinterpreting him. I've never seen tom give anyone an attitude... in fact he keeps his cool better than most people.

Ok if it were a 325i coupe it would be better? And how can you tell that it isnt supercharged??? As a matter of fact how did you know it was a 325i? Tit for Tat on the 2 door or 4 door thing.....I personally dont think you would like it even if it was a coupe...just admit it dude and we can get back to the amazing amount of money that had to be put in that car to make it look like that....even if you dont like it....LOL

You guys hating on new cars that are done up make me laugh..

That car likely is faster and much better handling than a stock e46 M3 - keep hating... Engine swap, or a low end SC, or a nice Turbo, and that thing will eat M3's - But hey it doesn't look 'stock' like 95% of the cars here, so it must be 'RICE CRAP' or whatever..

To say you don't like how it looks is one thing - to ignore the performance of the car is another.

I personally don't like 2-tone cars - but that somehow looks good to me. (Don't like the front scoop w/ those metal arms - but hey they are there for a purpose - or, are designed with a purpose - likely attached to this car for 'looks').

To each their own.. Just don't be ignorant.

Matt, not your fault. I would like to think that my 98 M roadster is the car of cars, but it is not. Let's face it they are always going to make newer cars "better" and more powerful (to a point) and yes it is possible to mod a car that will out perform it's mentor. Name calling is not going to change that, nor is a negative opinion of the car in question. We need to respect each other and voice our opinions in a respectful manner. Tom has never had an attitude and besides how do you have an attitude over the net? Tom and Mike were both just trying to cool the heated comments...everybody breath deep.......

Blake, I think you've misinterpreted my post. I wasn't trying to by bossy or condescending in anyway. I was merely asking everyone to keep it on topic and trying to keep the arguments from escalating. [:)]

Well, i like it (even though i like the E30 more lol) but the M3 bodystyle with the facelifted front really is nice, and i think it should have been done to the regular M3 as was done with the models in the 46 lineup. Very cool cars these

Hey sm32589, sorry about calling your car a shitbox, it was uncalled for. And no, I'm not jealous of your car.
[hihi] Next time come back A LOT EARLIER and say that, you'd have saved the time of about 30 replies and a whole lot of stress and anger. Another pointer, check the age of the poster before you reply, sometimes you can predict the response your "edgy" comment is going to get in advance. (No offense to the thread starter. [thumb] The pics were a good find, and the comment is not aimed at you.)

As for the M3 vs. 4-door 3 series debate, all I can say is if that enthusiast can afford to import British?? BMWs to south-east Asia he could have done anything to that "flashy" E46. You have no idea what kind of modifications have been made...he could have swapped in an M3 CSL V-8 pushing 400+hp. Not to mention what he could have done to that e30. I wouldn't be surprised if they both have 0-60 times of 4 seconds or less. Lastly to the comment about "if it were an M3 it would be better or more prestigious" is just that, a sign that someone has "show-off values" which makes the E30 owners of this site jumping into the flame war to defend themselves (why?) uncalled for. Not everyone is driving an E30 because it's an e30 I'm sure theres plenty driving one because it's the cheapest BMW they can afford. I'm sure that 99% of E30 owners would trade their cars for an E46 (even a modded one like the above pictured) in a split-second if BMW offered such a deal.
