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.
Here's my car for proper comparison: |

This LCI E46 shown here looks awesome and reminds me of my first BMW. I chose the regular ZSP over the ZHP because I liked the overall package better. Part of me will always miss that car...

Guys lets appreciate what the OP was trying to do. Yes it monster truck height, but I totally see his intent. That said, the 3 series styling is a total evolution since the E30 chassis car. The fact that there's an E46 to F30 comparison . . . an 8 - 12 year age gap with easily recognizable cues of it being a 3er is highly indicative of that evolution despite an E90 missing in the picture.
My .02. . .drop that E46 like yesterday though Ok bye |

I agree, a better comparison would have been the ZHP model which was as close to the MSport as the US had in E46 form.

haha that E46 is horrible with the cheap headlights and misfitted body parts and is a poor representation. You should use the 330 ZHP as a comparison.
