Yeah I think of that too. Seems more of a luxury car than a sports car. But thats me, just isn't like the E36.

I think that looks pretty badass. But it definietly doesnt look as "racey" as the e36 or e46's did!

Looks good... as far as the "coupe would be better" 4 door actually make better track cars because of their superior structural ridigity.

I never have, and never will like the tail lights on those things...

The front is sexy to me, but from the rear, it's just a complete turn-off =(. Just...plastic blobs stuck on the back. I love the edgy definition the older Bmw's (Before 2003) had, beautiful.

Looks pretty cool for a racecar though..although it doesn't look aggressive and doesn't really convey the "race" in "race car."

Bmw Financial Services? Cool sticker, what do they do? lol

I need a left-hand tail light =D...a 95-97 non M3 front left-hand fender, a 97+ non-M3 nose panel with kidney grille inserts, IS/M3 Side Skirts, a driveshaft centering guide (guibo), a metal water pump, and a new windshield.

And this is all just for restoration and minor improvements =(

It's hard to call a 4 door a race car... driver exit might be hampered with that cage though... not sure if I would want to be in it

Not exactly what I would picture as a racecar, but I'm sure its kickass.
