too much, he should just kept it as 328ci instead putting M3 badge all over the place :roll:

teto

i think the same ...but he is not of the idea of continue doing modifications....he just recived the car like that...more would be too much

Sorry teto, but I think I will have to agree with Drive4Ever. Just the current form is enough to tick off alot of BMW enthusiast (well, mainly the side grills with the m3 badge).

That aside, the car is pretty clean and the dual exhaust is nicely done :mrgreen:

Easy to see that it's not the real deal.

He could of used the money in buying a supercharge to make his car much quicker instead of just looks quick, and I don't like the looks.. Only the side fender is from an M3 the rest is not .. So I don't like it much and it can be discovered very easily.

it doesnt even look like a m3, the side grill is the only m3 thing, the spoilers are not m3, thats just a m kit, with a gril added

i agree with everyone here, this is rice if u follow the meaning...
o would rater have a normal 328 than this

05-10-2004, 05:54 PM

Sadly I have to agree.. he did it completely wrong :( the 328 is already an amazing car with a great engine.. this way the look is fucked up and everybody will see it ain't a M3

I agree with all of you who says it is rice. It's not the badge on the car that make it a very good car. It's the engine and all the mechanic.
And this badge goes on the M3, not on the 328. I don't like to see it there.

yep should have kept it original.. and i'm with EVO.. he should have got a supercharger or a turbo kit.. would have been much better.. but still a nice car.. too bad he did that..

Come on, please remove this M badge. Leave this car stock.

The M may stand for M spoiler kit provided by BMW ...
only the intakes on the side of the car and the exhaust are over the top ...

The M may stand for M spoiler kit provided by BMW ...

So...

I have an Audi A4 1.8T and I can't imagine myself to put a badge of S4, it's the same thing. :wink:

crappy looking body kit

It isn't too bad. I don't think it warrants a M badge, at least he didn't put it as a M3.

I know...I worked for the local BMW showroom... :wink:

The rims are original...but the exhaust pies...

I know whats fake and whats not... :wink:

No you don´t, because the rims are not original, those are just replicas. Someone said they´re smaller but they´re not (18"). And if you worked for the local BMW showroom you should have noticed that the little M logo near the center of the wheel is missing... :?

05-13-2004, 02:34 PM

the thing is this....the rims are not original cause the first owner told so...and you can see that the color of these rims are more brighter....so not originals....

and yes we have already six series 6 already sold....M5, M3 , 330.....you can see every kind you want....sorry not humiliated :lol:

corvette97

05-13-2004, 04:57 PM

If you want an M3, Buy an M3. It like 15 k more and a lot faster. I dont see the point in putting all that stuff on the car just so it looks like an M3. The first time you get smoked in a race everyone will know that it is not the real thing.

Who cares about the logo.... May be they stole it...

But there are such rims by BMW! I know a guy who has a E46 316i with the same rims

17"....

May be in Guatemala you don't have BMW's... :lol:

Go and ask your local dealer and they will tell you....no need to argue! :wink:

I'm sorry but I have to tell you you're still wrong :wink: the logo could have fallen but you know the little carving on the rim could never dissapear. And as teto said, the colour of the rims simply doesn't match the original one's.
And you're friend with the E46... i'm sorry but those must be replicas too, nothing wrong about that, just letting you know. I'm telling you this because I know the car and I know a couple of things about BMWs.
I will ask a friend of mine who works at a BMW dealership in Austria and he will tell me just to make sure.

ahmedgiyab

05-14-2004, 03:01 PM

I don't care what you say...I know that there are such rims for BMW...

Its like to have a BMW with M suspension or accesories...

There are E39 525d/530d s....with M5 body, suspension, brake system, interior,...etc.

If you sit infront of your PC and learning from GOOGLE....its just not enough! and yes

they could stole that BMW logo from that rim!!! Ask your friend in Austria! :wink:

05-15-2004, 02:47 AM

Man I was just trying to let you know what´s true and what´s not, but if you insist...

BTW, the bodykit on the 328ci is an early E46 M kit and it seems you didn´t understand what i told you about the rim :?

corvette97

05-15-2004, 03:36 PM

those are replicas for sure, i showed this pics to a friend of mine, that car was offered to him, and the rims are FAKE

maybe your friends should try to looked a M3 pics first before he try to change the 328ci to M3... :wink:

bmagni

05-17-2004, 03:40 AM

doesnt look at all like an m3, just for the badges, the rim n the side intakes are the mods he got but, the front and back fascias are different, and the interior, hahahaha, not at all, he should have kept the 328...
