E46 M3: May ye Rest In Peace

[asbo]

My friends,

It has happened. Last night I saw something that cannot be unseen; An E46 M3 in that horrible blue colour with window tints white 18" wheels (yes really) and those simply horrific white coloured tacky angel eyes. The driver had of course adopted the obligatory ape pose, with one arm curled atop the wheel - seatback no longer visible and gawd only knows where his other hand was.

Lock up your daughters. They're coming.

So how long until it is trying to climb a tree/lamppost?

I think white angel eyes look better than yellow ones with a nice matching set of 6000K HID's (e36) or stock bixenons (e46)+

By any channce ASBO are you an Aberdeen Lad.

If so this thing can be found in bucksburn (Bankhead Avenue)

i believe the owner used to have a high BHP classic style subaru with a hinged front number plate that folded under the front bumper under hard acceleration.

I have heard about the hinged number plates on bikes before but never a car.

I think they're often angled on turbo jap cars to allow more air flow to the intercooler. Looks slightly odd but at least serves a function.

I spotted him at the bottom of Market Street.

If it is then you're way off the mark. Laguna Seca Blue is one of the best colours for the M3.

[Daz4m]

I dont think thats the point guys.

[Carfiend]

So can we get a Veilside kit and spinnaz for a M3 like wot innit?

LSB is a brillaint colour.

It's that stey dark colour that looks permanently dull regardless of how clean it is.

One more exhibit(fingers crossed that image upload works)....

[asbo]

It's a crying shame.

Why does less disposable = less taste?

[falkster]

The E46 M3 is quickly becoming so affordable that it is inevitable that it will follow the likes of the E36 M3, the Imprezza, Civic type R.....so all four cars cant be compared but my point is that they all have bad name of being chav mobiles.

Im sure that is actually a Special Edition ACS model.....a friend has just sold one.

[huggyST]

exactly-at least it has decent quality ACS bits on it so hardly chavvy imo
