it still drives and everything. -edit- turns out that isn't the car I thought it was. The guy drives it daily and made it the way it is because 'he likes the look of it'. I think its hilarious but dumb.

some people make cars for fun that they don't plan on driving long distances with. Much in the same way you wouldn't drive a track car on the road.

I watched the video, I don't actually think the guy is as retarded as his car. I respect that he set it up to ride like that and agree the car should look the same parked as it does when driving.

He didn't really justify his camber addiction other than 'because trapezoid shape'. Maybe he was just going for ground effect.

Speaking of making cars unique what would you guys do to this car.
Interested to see the comparison.

Either I'd make it a track weapon, like this:

or make a euro stanced car, like this:

Get rid of the tax disc holder and have a plain UK number plate made for it with no stupid flag and just a BMW dealer address printed on it as small as possible then glue it to the bumper with no surround or screws.

something like this but not as fat at the rear, I like the look of these bolted on parts

 

[SPS]

Yeah not as wide at the back, kinda looks bodged.

:lol: JR, that's all you'd really do to that exact model?

I want black wheels on mine.. but I aint doing it myself.

you mean you dont change your rims yourself or what? :huh:

I'm not painting my current rims black lol. Seems cheaper to get them powder coated somewhere rather than buying a new set, also I wouldn't even know what to look for to buy a new set.

Yeah, the car looks fine, I quite like that year and body kit of 3 series. I mean I would probably go for a diesel but other than that I don't see a problem. Nice clean looking wheels on it already.

I mean that's all i'd do to practically any car, buy the spec I liked, leave it as close to as it rolled off the production line while being street legal and just detail the hell out of it as often as possible.

I used some Foliatec, kinda like plasti dip but better for metal parts to paint a part on the trunk of my old Amarok Black and it peeled of the next day after I went through some dirt and rain so better let it do soemone yeah

I believe you can get the e90 m3's wheels in black from the factory. Thats a straight bolt on job. BMW have an amazon store where you can buy pretty much every wheel they've ever made.

-edit- Like these?

Ah sweet didn't realise this. Yeah basically like those - that price though..

The pic I posted is basically my car. The only thing I don't like too much is the body colour (which I guess I'm going to have to deal with), wheel colour and I wish it sounded a bit nicer. I basically want an M Sport version.

EDIT: Also I really wish it has Xenon lights and LED angel lights, not the disgusting yellow halogen ones it has now.

Official BMW stuff always costs alot. This often means there are copies for alot less though. You can get the lights retrofitted as well.
