Best E46 M3's in the city

[Lubu]

I didn't know if I should post this thread in this Street Encounters or the regular Car Talk section. Being a fan of the E46 M3's :drool: , I thought I would ask you guys (and gals) what's the nicest ones you have seen locally (coupe or vert). Pics would be a plus obviously :poosie:

I might also post mine up later on in the thread too :devil: but I really want to see what's the best out there :burnout:

That one is just nuts

[Redlyne_mr2]

Ya that WB M3 is nuts, it's also a little bit of a secret as not a lot of people know about it.

Don't forget Josh's car.

Yeah that is a sweet M3 - it's unfortunate that it was turned back to stock (I'm assuming, I just saw a bunch of parts-for-sale threads)

[schocker]

I know this was from the US but I am pretty sure it ended up here as I remember seeing it at DTP, so maybe not Calgary.

There are so many bastardized M3s around. I personally like your stable euro_racer, nice, clean, good looking cars. The M3 already has enough "Hey, look at me!" parts in stock form, so none need to be added. The blue one on the previous page is a beauty too. I love that color.

Your car looks awesome, just needs a matching handicap permit. :D

[Lubu]

Thanks and haha about the handicap permit, i was sending my grandfather to Futureshop to pick up a computer as his car was in for servicing so we used his handi permit :nut:

[BMDUBS]

Alpine white M3 with the black wheels/Yellow brakes is sick as hell...

[vengie]

Lubu, you're car is the sickest m3 I've seen to date, pretty much the EXACT look I had in mind when I was looking for one... However what's with the "stiff nights" decal!! Get rid of it!

[Euro_Trash]

:werd: looks awesome, especially the stance, but the sticker definitely takes away

[R-Audi]

Really? Advertising some herbal boner medicine on your M3?

Some might say thats fitting.

[03ozwhip]

i fucking LOVE your car Lubu. one question though, with it being that low, on calgary roads or big dips on the highway, how much are you scraping?

That big orange windshield banner for boner meds ruined that car for me. Looked way cleaner with out it. Could of at least used a colour other than bright orange. :dunno:

[Euro_Trash]

Just noticed that the grills were changed back to OEM chrome as well - go back to black IMO

Thanks for the compliments guys. Yes, I do admit, the orange Stiff Nights windshield decal needs to go soon :rofl: We recently acquired the Stiff Nights brand and I thought what better way to draw attention to the Canada launch than to put it on my new M3 lol. Hindsight is 20/20, I might just put a small side window decal instead. Besides, I had people stopping me at gas stations asking me if I had the pills on me to sell to them. I felt like a drug dealer selling stuff out of my trunk :eek: :rofl:

Thanks bro for the compliment, I definitely fell in love with it when I first saw it, the stance was just right :). As far as scraping, luckily I haven't been scraping much. The worst is those speed bumps at the malls but by far the worst are those giant ass ones at MRC. I was picking up a friend and I literally had to reverse the car when I saw how big those speed bumps were and they are everywhere at MRC :eek:

But overall, it's been good but I do find myself having problems backing into my garage. I have to back in at an unreal angle to prevent any scraping :( Shortly after buying the car, I installed a Strassentech Lip but that was a very bad idea because of the stance and how low it was, the Strassentech lip for some reason would scrape every single manhole and slight bumps in the road. Not to mention, it kicked up a lot of road pebbles so I removed it after a few days. I think the AC Schnitzer CF lip will be much better, I'm hoping ;)

I agree, I plan on switching out the chrome grills first chance I get. I am torn though, I had ordered the Matte Black but was incorrectly sent the Piano Black. I installed it but it looked a bit too shiny for me. So I'm waiting for the Matte Black to arrive and then decide from there. What do you guys think? Matte Black or the Piano Black? Both look nice..:dunno:

I vote matte - that's what I have on mine (interlagos blue) and I love it. This thread is making me want to spend money on suspension

Matte black for sure!

Josh's car was a blast to shoot and the thing is mint. Can't wait to see what you end up doing to it. Hit me up once your parts are on, would love to re-shoot!

That's what I'm thinking too, Matte Black would give it a more elegant look without the gloss, and would compliment the blacked out look even further :)

Sounds good brother, I'll be more than happy and honored to have you re-shoot the car once I finish adding the new toys to it. :D Although theoretically one can never really finish a project as there is always something else you want to add to the car ;)
