Subtle Aggressor

While the M3 has move on from inline 6s to V8s, I still like the look of the previous gen E46. It looks more subtle compared to the bulging-bonnet-here-flared-vent-there E92.

In my opinion, the ideal styling for a M3 is best personified by an athletic guy with a taekwando black belt dressed up smartly in a Hugo Boss suit. The current E92 looks like a bodybuilder trying to squeeze himself into a tuxedo. Worse still, there are already bigger bodybuilders around like the C-class V8-powered AMGs...

So when you take the E46 M3 and put on a few choice exterior pieces such as a Vorsteiner CF bonnet and front splitter, a Vorsteiner CF boot and 19" DPE wheels, the results can be very stunning.

Check out the subtle but effective Eisemann Race exhaust.

Overall, this car packs enough visual aggression to let other drivers know it's aint one to be messed around with but still fly under the authorities' radar.
