Way to ruin an M3......

How are you Mark?

While not a fan of the color or the interior, the body kit actually reminds me of some of the race versions of the e36 M3. Given the right livery, it might be kinda cool.

Such as:

purple..

clear tails..

zee ruined.

paint + stock tails + wider tires to suit the rims - some tacky bling= saved

Yup, it would be impossible to unbolt those taillights and put some stock ones back in. I assume the owner likes it, so who am I to say anything about his personal taste. After all, it's not like it's the last one on earth.

I'd easily rock that. Aside from that odd fuel door thing and the clear tails, it's pretty clean car.

Purple would take some getting used to...

I agree..... smoke the lights, stock fuel door and I'd be ok with it

+1 - but I would get some sheepskin seat covers and try to paint the rest of the leather (pleather) black and lose about 300lbs of electronics.

yeah not that bad really, I think there's more than 300#s of electronics weight you could lose there, sheesh.

known as Technoviolet IIRC, really cool color.

technoviolet... not one of BMWs prettier colours

Oddly, there were two purples! The other was known as Daytona Violet.

Horrible.

But I do like wheels with a lip and stretched tires if the car has a good low stance. I've actually got my custom 17 x 8 4x100 et 25 Work Emotion CR Kais for my e30 for sale.

That way I can run a more inexpensive street wheel with a lip and stretch. Then buy some 15s and Rcomps for auto-x/hpde use.

At least it's not some totally obnoxious shade of purple....

I'd rock it if I could get the stock shift knob and steering wheel back.

Wow, someone spent a lot of money to do that...

I have a technoviolet and like it a lot. I get nothing but compliments from everyone I meet.

i'd drive it.

the gas filler door says it all. money does not buy taste.

I just puked a little

I don't like the interior or the tails, but outside of that, it's OK. It's very much an artifact of late 90's extreme BMW "tuning". I seem to remember seeing quite a few of those bodykits around the web.

The interiors screams "90's". lol

If I saw that car in a parking lot I would consider performing my first act of vandalism. I can understand if some white-trash hick wants to rice-out their Cavalier, but to spoil a Bimmer like that is just odd.

That crap doesn't add anything to its performance, so why would you ugly it up for no reason? Seriously... a body kit, ricer taillights, and a berkeleying CHROME PEP BOYS GAS CAP GLUED TO A SQUARE GAS DOOR???

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

I hate it. It makes me think of this:

Unfortunately, those '90s era mods didn't age very well.

But at least it's not plastered with ///M badges.

Bodykit... awesome.
Purple colour... awesome.
Interior... not bad, at least it's not red or orange.
Wheels... awesome.

Taillights... fail.

All things considered... Ya, I'd drive it.

Buy it, park it, wait 40-years. That car will $100k on Barrett Jackson, or whatever has replaced it by then.

Three: don't forget about Merlot! While technically more on the red side of things, I still consider it purple--and I LOVE it! Don't know if you could put it on an M3 at any time though--I saw it on the early Z4s.

it is nothing a trip through ebay could not fix for a few hundred dollars
