Want to see poor body kit fitment?

[NCm42]

that's a shitty job. geez. :( :o

and what a stupid mod to begin with. What? A M3 bumper is going to make you faster?
And those rims...... :roll: Maybe.....alright at best

Should have invested elsewhere......or if you buy the bumper, do make it fit! He looks like a douchebag ricer with an ill-fitting "battle" kit.

I like Ci's, but I bet that is just a lowely 323 or something. I've seen nicely kitted BMW's, but never a M3 bumper one I liked.

It does look crappy but just cause its a 323 doesn in no way make it "lowly". Please, there is no need for prick-like comments.

why not? E46 325s are a joke, i'd hate to see what a 323 is like..... :P

The M54B25 makes about 20 more hp than the M52TUB25, although they produce the same about of torque oddly enough.

actually the M52TUB25 produces about 7 more lb-ft of tq than the M54B25.

It wasn't meant to be a prick comment. Just that M equipment doesn't belong on non-M cars like that. Performance upgrades like M cams are good, but putting M badges or body panels is the weaksauce.

I said lowly because if you're going to use an M bumper, have it at least be the 330Ci!

The 323 doesn't need a M bumper.....that's just unwarranted.

I'll try to take a picture of our regular customer at the dealer. E46 325I 4door, M bumper, red roundels, 2 12", painted calipers, 4 Curb-rashed wheels, and a wing on the trunk and one on the rear window.......and clear taillights.

And p.s. I know the E36 323's did, but maybe the E46 323 made less HP than a M50. Anyway, a heavy E46 really needs more than the 2.5L motor in the 323.

2.5 / 6 cyl. (323,523) 170 hp
2.5 / 6 cyl. (325,525) 192 hp

those are #'s I found. It's difficult to locate the data tho. Curb Weight: ~3197 lbs..

So take an E30, add 400lbs and some torque, and throw on an M3 bumper. :roll:

I can tell you that they are slower than an 1985 Eta with a chip to at least 80mph

Where'd you read that? I got my figures from a BMW Group Training Reference Manual... It says they both produce 245 Nm.
