Holy shit...my thoughts exactly. Lol What a bad example. Personally the F30 still hasn't grown on me (which speaks volumes). I would still take an E46 M3 over almost any modern BMW... especially over an F30. The E46 body is timeless...dated, but timeless... |

A better comparison would be between the E39 and F30. They're almost the same size. I'm kinda surprised this made the front page.

 E46 is the last generation of classical BMW 3 series. From E90 onwards to the current gen of F30, they all look great but no longer carry the tradition of BMW classic looks. F30 looks avant-garde but its good look feeling may not last as long as the preceding generations. Last edited by Ivan Ho; 04-11-2013 at 05:40 PM.. |

You want the slammed, stanced and cambered look on your car? Cool, good to go! Looks great as a static display, no arguments there. Just be careful getting over those speed bumps as you leave the show...

[QUOTE=E39hijinks]That's an extremely poor representation of the E46. That's not even a factory car. That's a poorly-modded pre-facelift w/ pep boys 18" wheels and an aftermarket MTECH (made in Taiwan) bumper w/ eBay angel eyes. Not one single panel on that car fits correctly either (likely in many accidents) very very poor comparison.
LCI factory ZHP would be most relevant. |

E46 is still one of my favourites. The E90 looked awful in comparison until they launched the LCI which sorted it out...

That was my first car and I still love it to this day. It's an Xi so ride height is higher. I was also poor so couldn't afford proper mods. Thanks for the front page BP even though the post is old, haha.
