I'm sure you could ask for different wheels - 16's with super wide profiles would do nicely on that, assuming they'd fit over the brakes of course. Like a lot of silly mods to muscle cars they don't mention the brakes, which makes me think they might be pathetically small to cover over 500bhp/ton.

Yeah they've probably got it covered laugh

No 16" wheels there then.

TBH, the original car is no looker. They’ve just made it visually worse.

T350 would be nicer without the black roof IMO.

Assume it's a TopCats car. They've done quite a few similar conversions.

Always been a Touring fan so I'm slightly biased - but I'd take that over a saloon M3.

Was there a reason they never produced an M3 Estate? (other than maybe 'keeping it sports' I assume)

I’d have anything in Estate format over Saloon.

Perhaps they thought the demand wasn’t there for it as most people were going for dervs back then.

I just don’t think BMW like M estates. I think the only one they ever did was the E60 M5?

Didn’t know they made them as an actual model. I saw one at PH meet once and thought it was one someone had made.
I had a guy come to look at my old Legacy Spec B when I was selling it and he turned up in an E36 tourer that he had put M3 running gear in
