Damn it. Came here to post this.


Also, we can all pretty much attest that a properly done Martini livery looks just a tad bit cooler on a Porsche than an M Stripe does on an M3, no?

Actually an m stripe all over the front hood and roof of an M would be tacky. But I guess cool in your book.

I'd love to agree with that for factory cars.. but not all M3s and definitely not all BMWs.

The 3.0 CSL - One of the best looking cars to ever come out of the BMW factory. Still looks great today!

Problem is... you're wrong. Just admit it and move on.
No...you're wrong...admit it and move on...
I have it on good authority that Henry Ford was really Henrick Von Fordeburg and he produced a Model T with racing stripes which he called his m3 version...later that car was reproduced by relatives in secret and they called it Bavarian Motor Works Tip Top Secret m3...the secret racing colours were then stolen by the Porsche group and the rest as they say is His Story
