Black lowered E36 M3 - E46 M3 wheels, 20% tint, splitter, custom front end - MEAN!

I love my car, not only it looks good but it drives like a Go-Kart! Commuting everyday is just so fun. Aggressively carving those 235x40 SO3's onto the asphalt is simply a-ma-zing.
With the colder temps, power is right there as well, I can't imagine what it's like to drive it at sea level....

I like the VR-4 next to you, too. I can't tell if it's a pre-94, but if so I had a similar car, a Firestorm Red 1991.

Can you get more side pics? I want to see the 20% tint. Thanks.

Didn't they get a crazy grocery cart wing and ditch the active aero in the remaining years.

I use to own a '92 Panama Green SL.

lookin good manuel, i'll be there the 20th to watch you rip some vettes in autoX

Hehe you betcha, I'll rip those guys but they won't be vettes this time since it's BMWCCA, it will be E30, E36 and E46's, whatever comes my way must go down

Thanks for the wheels Chris, they look really good on E36's especially when the light dims down a little or even at night, they almost look chrome, very nice.
sfhighroller, I got some more but they probably are on bimmerforums, whenever they come back up, check out the link in my sig.

E36Eric, feels like it doesn't it. I believe the low front end needs to be matched with a spoiler to "compensate".
Spencer pretty much had the same setup except that he car is white. His LTW spoiler matches well the front splitter.
Not sure what I'll do there, I might go with a lip to start with from the newer M5.
Man, I need something to close things up back there. I'll look around to see what types of wings are available out there.
Thanks everybody for the compliments, I take really good care of it and the paint is amazing.

Sweet ride!

very nice, ditch those fugly E46 grills.. looks like your headlights got a black eye. i hate e36 eyebrows, and especially anything that mimics E46. sweet car otherwise

sick ride man, it looks like it could rip sh$t up

where can i find head light covers like that and how much are they

thanks

I first found the eyelids on bmpdesign.com and thought they looked pretty good. It doesn't give any E46 look at all, they are supposed to but it's the hood that makes all of the difference.
I like the headlights better with the eyelids on because all of the gaps w/o. Blinkers are huge also and it dims them down a little.
As far as driveways and dips well gotta take everything sideways, works pretty well. Sometimes you rub but that not biggie. Some parts of the car are actually lower than the splitter...
