Mainly looks cool, but something about the rear makes it look a tad too much like a Peugeot 405!

Looks good.... apart from those horid rear lights. Nice colour and the leather looks great too.
Not so sure about the full M3 spec tho.... the front bumper certainly isn't, nor the mirrors or the front seats. What exactly is M3 about it???

No not Aplina either.... that has Alpina writen across the bottom of it. Looks like a front lip has been added to the standard front bumper and some sort of plastic splitter added to the standard rear bumper.
It is a nice car but don't let him put an M3 badge on it.... will definately make him look at bit of a c*@t. I'll keep an eye out for you in Manchester and give you a flash (
) if i see you.

The alloys are awful, would look a totally different car if a decent set was put on.

JPR, Kenny C.

How can it be "M3 spec" without the M3 spec engine, suspension and drivetrain????
What you mean is, it's made to look like an M3 but fails in the stakes where it counts, in the driving?

I didn't say I didn't like it, I was merely asking a question.
Never mind.

So it's M3 spec but doesn't actually have a single M3 part on it, just a few bits bolted to the existing spoilers?
