Swamp, actually in theory the point is to have wider fenders so you can put on wider rubber. I believe BMW M even cites this fact when talking about the M3 bodywork.

Great pics...

///MML · 04-19-2008, 10:59 PM

not bad... 335's a little low for my taste. M3 needs a drop.

All posers with the red BBS center caps. Either buy the champion edition rims for which they were made for or take them off. weak.

It is one thing I do like about the e90 M3, it's clearly not like the standard e90 335i. Great photos... absolute beautiful cars. Those rims on that M3 need to be taken off, they do not work well on the M3. IMO.

yea it was a bit hard to tell them apart without prior knowledge of the power dome and bumper design. I actually dig the wide body kit the most. All good looking cars, but why isn't the e90 in the background not in the shoot?

Personally I am totally willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort for more performance but I am done with my go kart like aftermarket suspension in my E36 M3. Just my personal preference.

As well before you start tossing around your silly labels please read just a couple of my posts to decide if there is any validity whatsoever to such crap.

Swamp, good amount of bmw customers buy the car for status and perceived quality. Those modified e92s in the pictures are sharp looking cars, and they are modified to do so. Not necessarily gunning for performance and performance isn't everyone's cup of tea.

The automatic AC, power window, glass, seats, carpet, sound deadening material in your M3 all HURT PERFORMANCE. If you don't rip them out, we may have to call you poseur as well.

Funny, I thought the same about the e90 in the back after reading the sedan comment. All three of those coupes look real hot.

The 3s are a little to low for my taste though. I like a wheel to be more symmetrical in the wheel well versus no gap at the top and huge gaps at the bottom. All are great looking cars though.

SpencerM3 · 04-19-2008, 11:39 PM

I'll be honest, those other two Coupes look HOT but if I saw them today i would think they were M3 posers.

+1, I hit a huge pothole in my 135i today and I thought for sure I bent the wheel. Luckily I have 18s and they have decent amount of rubber on them, 19s with condoms may not fare as well.

Just so its clear - 19s on an E9X M3 have the same (actually more in rear) amount of sidewall than 18's on the 135i. But yes, 19s on a 335i or 135i would mean tiny rubber (unless you want a larger rolling diameter than stock which will make the speedo inaccurate).

Like I said looks are in the eye of the beholder and surely many of us can simply agree to disagree.

You are clearly creating an argument o the excluded middle here with the idea that you need to tear apart and destroy your brand new M3, removing all the parts you listed, to not be a poseur. Truly absurd.

Voltigeur · 04-20-2008, 03:12 PM

Wide body = rocks! Nice set of sleds

BMWPower06 · 04-20-2008, 03:38 PM

which rear is on the SG coupe? any more pics of it?

endy · 04-20-2008, 05:12 PM

wow.. the m3 still looks sicker than those two 3ers.

phoenixbmwlife · 04-20-2008, 06:40 PM

I like the CSL type spoiler. on the 335s. I think I'm gonna have to get this for my M3. I do however think the 335s are dropped too much.

KonigsTiger · 04-20-2008, 06:50 PM

Yes that CLS spoiler sure looks amazing.

Hopefully, you didn't think I was completely serious, hence the smiley face at the end. I see where you are coming from though, just wanted to see your response.

MORE PICS PLEASE> what Exhaust systems are on those 335is?

rest of pics.....

KonigsTiger · 04-22-2008, 09:08 AM

Wow, very nice pics! Thanks for posting. The 335 wide body is the best of all. So well done. Only issue? The drop is a bit too much. The M3 on the other hand needs to drop a tad!
