    Ruined it with the Afe in the engine bay shot. Looks out of place. Also, lower the front OR raise the rear a tad.

    Other than that, I love the DS1's and the city lights.

    Was expecting to see purist stuff.

    Spacers made a world of difference. Like that exhaust.

    Not sure what you guys are talking about, but it's not just a badged 318... There is a clear engine shot and intrior shot.

    Nice photography Kevin-- you get great depth in some of those shots, something I haven't yet figured out.

    Simple.. Cause I can

    I deleted it cause I dont have no real use for them since this is a fair weather car. I also shaved/ deleted other parts on the car also. Just little touches that make my car unique to me

    Not sure what you mean by the AFE ruining the engine bay? I believe my engine bay is one of the cleanest out there.



    As far as the ride height it stays where its at

    Rouge Engineering... The only way it comes.. I have thought about getting the muffler painted flat black or so so it doesnt stick out as bad... But im very happy with it and it sounds AMAZING

    Everyone else... Thanks for the comments

    What gave it away was incorrect grills, side markers, trunk handle and misplaced m3 trunk badge to name a few. Why are you trying so hard to get ppl to think it's an M?

    Your photography is on point, but I think you need more tire. The rest of the car is clean as hell.

    Exactly your engine bay is so clean and STOCK that the AFE sticks out; I mean come on just take a look at that picture and the only thing that sticks out is the AFE sticker. Go with with the oem air box and maybe euro snorkel will look MUCH cleaner. Again, just my opinion; so take it or leave it.

    THIS.

    M3 motor deserves the M badge IMO. Not like he's putting it on a 318

    So if I put an S54 in my car, I can have the M badge too? Eh.

    I don't really care that OP put the badge on his car.. because most think that the US-spec e36 m3 isn't really an M3 anyways.

    Sweet, it's still a 318 though.
    What gives it away is the fact that there is no such thing as a pre facelift m3 vert. Also the s52 motor. Of course the vin is the easiest. The grill comment and the trunk handle? Give me a brake. Getting nitty gritty on trying to pick the car apart. I'm not listing it for sale. Who cares? If your against my "miss badging a 318" prove to me that a "real" m3 is better than mine.

    Lol your funny. Not all m3's have srs door panels and my s52 is obd1 converted. Thanks try again

    bunch of pricks on here. you have a nice car and have went the extra step to address little things to make it look the way it does. it really looks great. I would eat off of your engine bay.

    only thing that bugs me is the stretched 205s on the DS1 but besides that you have done well. hope you are enjoying the car!
