That drop tho.. add some camber on the wheels and you can roll VIP with the best of them.. Cars are like clothes.. some like to dress GQ, some like to dress like a raver..

What style are you?

Looks amazing man, good taste in wheels and overall style. Not a fan of bags myself, but if you aren't tracking the car or driving aggressively who gives a crap. Im sure you get a tonne of respect at car meets and fan boys when you pass by.

Yes. The E92 m3 is a 'capable' track car. But, it's main purpose is a luxury sports coupe or...in some cases...sedan.

A lot of people on these forums think that it's up there with GT3s or GTRs, which it's not...

It's not a holy grail of an automobile, and it's certainly not something that should garner such corny fanboi-criticism when someone wants to apply whatever style technique they see fit.

I personally love to see all types of styles applied to this car. I'm never going to track mine, but that doesn't mean that I don't drool over mean track setups.

OP....car looks great...except that front set-up at ride height. I feel like a meatier tire/lower offset might help a bit. But, you're gonna address that.

I should be joining the small list of E92 Ms on air soon. The install shop and I are working on a legit show set-up for the trunk, which is why I asked for more photos. I was gonna go hidden, but I think we're gonna do a nice simple, yet exposed thing.

tl;dr - E9x M is an amazing car, people wanna do what they wanna do, purists get salty.
I totally agree with you !! And after driving the car for a couple of days its still stiff and I get the same response on air compared to before on stock mode and on coilovers !!

I have already lowered the front about 1'' at ride height I just don't wanna run too low road are ugly here in Canada and I just wanna try to have my front lip on the car for the longest I can hehe

Thanks man !! at my own surprise I get a lot of thumbs up and positive comments from people in the age range of 35 to 50 !! Theres not to many E92 M3's in my home town so being the most modded one inside and outside gets me a lot of attention !!

I just want to see OP drive through:
BQE (even with the "newly paved" section near 495) at 55mph,
FDR drive from lower east side to Major Deegan Expwy at 45 mph

Oh and maybe some NJ residents may know what i'm talking about here...

Rt21 from Newark to Rt3 at 50mph. THIS is going to the most entertaining to watch

You've all overlooked one simple fact...this car is in Canada. It makes sense to me now

But, didn't you know that every forum member here is a professional race car driver and that altering these cars beyond cookie cutter mods is absolute insanity!?!

Haha sorry couldn't resist after seeing your set of pictures.

For real though, I bet my elderly dog would love this.
I can't imagine getting in after leg day though!

have you seen all the SEMA pics? The show where factory race cars would break if they tried a race track.

You're absolutely right, but I have seen some horrid mods done on expensive cars, too. I don't think it is entirely money that buys good sense/taste.
