I also had to rebrush and chrome the intercooler because the original was a plain unfinished look so i had to make it nicer.

The Red w/ black top and the Black version are not as good quality (paint wise) as the dark blue because i kinda rushed those, especially the Black version, but hopefully they're still good enough.

The actual size i have is 3000x1996, but that version stays with me

Have to thanks all those people that helped me, wether is was by commenting on one of my many W.I.P.s or by helping me find donor parts, etc.
-CPWerks (PSU)
-felix300zxt (EPC)
-NOM15 (PSU)
-VTEC-V6! (V6P)
-VtecAznRacer (V6P)
-Carcrazyasn (V6P)
and anybody else i forgot, either way, you guys know who you are

and of course, comments are appreciated.

What ya'll think?

Reminds me of the golden days when I was young, brash, and went to those night drags during the wee hours of the early morning in San Diego...Fast & Furious style where the event(s) usually get broken up by cops with everybody fleeing for their lives.

Nice chop, however. I've seen better, unfortunately.

I think that looks HOT

Lux - ask, and ye shall receive. I couldn't remember where I saw the pic from, so took me about half an hour to pool this one from google/forums! So you better enjoy this E46 M3 for now:

lux.sh · 01-11-2006, 06:52 PM

oh god, that is beautiful.

I posted that in Bimmerfest, people said both cars are riced out. emmm.

BMW E90 · 01-11-2006, 07:48 PM

OMG I want THAT car!!!

I can see the G35 being coined as rice but not quite sure how the M3 would fit that category. Doesn't look remotely rice to me...or perhaps my rubric for rice is disparate from others.

The best thing about this chopped M3 are the extra wide fenders. The wheels with extra deep dishes make the car look even better too.

canucklion · 01-12-2006, 01:26 AM

the M3 is hot, I don't think it's that rice

ksfrogman · 01-12-2006, 01:36 AM

Doesn't look too dissimilar from the 2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe Concept at the Detroit Auto Show:

db17k · 01-12-2006, 02:20 AM

I don't see how both cars fit in "rice category".

Everything in that G45 concept is funtional.
Big front opening for intercooler and clearance for it. It doesn't have
weird sideskirts or aluminum spoiler.
Well respected Volk wheels, wide fender to match wide wheels.

whats so rice about that car? nothing. some bimmer owners are so plain biased.

Thats why people say all the bimmers look alike and they give us no respect.

Completely agree. Many BMW owners do not even know the definition of 'Rice'

db17k · 01-12-2006, 03:54 AM

The front the the G45 is great, the rear is ugly as hell though. what were they thinking?

a burrito · 01-12-2006, 04:04 AM

wow, that looks good

lux.sh · 01-12-2006, 04:08 AM

at least E90POST members are cool.

The bimmerfest thread is hilarious.

Functionality does not exclude rice. It really is a subjective issue. I think people doing clear corners on their E36 BMWs is considered rice.

I thought the G45 was rice because of the obnoxious wheels. In fact, I personally think all black wheels with a polished lip is rice, whether that would be on a BMW or a Japanese car. To make things worst, it's one of those wheels with blaring "blah blah RACING" etched onto it.

blackE90 · 01-25-2006, 01:25 AM

don't you hate how the car that goes into production is always so much more tame than the prototype

that is some amazing concept art tho...concept being the key word here

vladinecko · 01-25-2006, 10:34 AM

that car looks really angry
