Estoril E46 M3 Individual

[danfisher]

Thought id upload a few pictures of my other car as ive been posting a few of the Clio
Any other M3 owners on here?

Back when in summer when i had my E30, wished id never of sold it now did have a few issues though

With some BBS reps on, opinions?

Looks very nice that mate! What are the SMG box's like? Not a fan of the bbs tbh, but a bit different i suppose. Mad how much difference the alloys make to the look of these!

They are amazing, really does feel like a different experience driving compared to manual (which i love as well)
A nightmare if they go wrong but that very rarely happens, only problem ive had was the slave cylinder breaking

Looks a bit max power IMO although I'm sure it gets compliments from the scene.

LOL you're kidding right, this place is full of BMW driving ex Clio owners :wink:

Not a fan personally, looks better with the other wheels

Max power? it has standard bodywork and wheels

CSL's good, black things are f**king shite. What the f**k were you thinking?? Get someone to slap the 'badman' out of you.

Oh and the blue inserts inside are f**king awful. I really like the car tho. Such a gorgeous colour.

Im only 22 haha, allowed to be a little different at this age!! Ive got all the parts as spare to put back to OEM as well was thinking about changing them back to chrome but ill leave that until the spring when its out of the garage

 

[.GAZ.]

Lovely.

Never agreed more with this guy!

Still fair play lovely car with the csl wheels on

When I had mine it was one of the easiest cars to keep standard. I love CSL wheels but that's it. I've never seen another style look good on the E46.

Do you prefer the white or amber indicators? To be fair as well its probably getting sold come summer time next year, quite fancy an old 911 or a turbo'd e30

 

[Herr Flick]

White/clear. Cant stand orange. There is a blue M3 on ebay with orange ones and it looks s**t.

 

[Ian_182]

That looks lovely.

If you have a look on there i think Sam really pulls off the Amber look with his

 

[Mr Burns]

I like.

 

[Rob]

Looks great on the CSL's, but not a fan of the interior with the blue bits.

Yeah it was something i tried, ill more than likely be re doing them in matching black next year

 

[Brad Smith]

This looks really nice. Love it on the CSL's, wouldn't change the wheels. I personally would loose the black inserts and the bright blue parts. Looks a bit OTT for me, would be better original or carbon.

Aannnnnnddddddd it still looks w**k.

I'm not for a second criticising, or saying somethings bad, but has something been sprayed on the mirrors? Are they the standard OEM paint, or has something been colour coded? Is it a replica bootlid, or is the spoiler an add on?

Again im not making any criticisms as such, the mirrors and boot lid look "different" to me?

You must have a great eye for paintwork!! Yes the mirrors were corroded on the base plates (common problem) so had them resprayed and with regard to the bootlid its full one piece fibreglass, not the spoiler add on.
Did have the option to blow it into the wings but it doesnt bother me that much and i still have the original to change back to

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Black grills, yellow fogs, plate in the front window (might as well be in the boot) and the blue interior. Each to their own, I just don't think it suits the car.

 

[danfisher]

It would be interesting to know the age of the commenters, i bet most of the negative's are from people 30 and over.
I dont mind the comments as i love the car how it is, sounds amazing, handles awesome and obviously i like how it looks

 

[philmots]

It'd be lovely if it was standard. The Reps, black indicators, painted interior, csl boot and angel eyes just make a nice car look tacky...

Yes I'm 31, but I'd of said the same when I was 29.

 

[Herr Flick]

I'm 25. I've thought those wheels look s**t since I was able to walk tho.

 

[Ali]

Horrible interior mods and looks dire on the BBS wheels.

Irish plates cheapen cars too...not sure why though.

Other than that. Pretty nice.

 

[Ray Gin]

Not for me I'm afraid. Just screams 'bradford'. I prefer M3's to look more OEM.

 

[Matt W]

Has potential to look nice.

 

[fez]

love the plate

 

[JD]

Agreed with all the above. Such a special colour and looks great with the CSLs. Willing to bet we've all made bad modding choices at 22, so I'll go with a hats off to you for being able to afford one at that age! Blows my old 1.2 sport replica out of the water at the same age!

 

[MarkCup]

I love the 'it's different' which automatically makes it OK line, when in reality it looks awful. brilliant.

On the plus side all that crap can be easily removed

 

[_Tom]

Sorry to echo the rest but they are right..
See how much better this looks?

(Excluding the stupid number plate)

 

[Ali]

Significantly nicer. Fake CSL's though

 

[_Tom]

That was to show even with the same wheels it can look 10 x better.

 

[danfisher]

I do see what you all mean, thats why ive kept everything to go back OEM But if you see mine in person you'd agree everything thats been done is to a high standard and i love it which is the main thing

 

[Ray Gin]

Fair play for having one at 22 though tbh. Bloody nice cars, I was looking at them before I bought the Mazda.

 

[Philip.]

Kind of echoing all the other comments. Lose the yellow fogs and it'll look better though.

As Liam says, nice car at 22. I also looked at them a bit before I bought the Nissan, lol.

 

[Mr Plums]

Lovely car mate, i was also looking at these a while back.

I would at least put the number plate on tho, i also like the wheels but not the painted bits

Nice car tho.

 

[cat171]

I love it, but reckon it would look better with a more OE look.
