    What's The Verdict On Widebody M3's?

    A friend who we'll call... "Mot"... was thinking about maybe getting an M3 and decking it out, Zeemax-style when he does. I say he shouldn't...

    So, let's hear your opinion on a tastefully done widebody (I say there is no such thing, but I'll allow for that possibility).

    then you havent seen the Hamann or the ALMS kits. Widebodies ROCK. U just need the power to back it up.

    Whats the point of it ifyou have 19X10 and no power. BTW 10 is the SMALLEST rim he should get.
    Personally I am more of a fan of Fender flare kits rather than the e30 m3 style, which looks great on that car.

    Tom helped me see that I was going to get ripped a new one for even suggesting that, so I deleted it in a damn hurry! I have no interest in a public flogging today.

    Hmm... I have no recollection of any other thread which may of may not have ever existed.

    However if I did I might possibly think someone did the right thing by deleting it and avoiding the potential "flames"...

    Later,

    P.S.

    Either Zeemax or this:

    "widebodyM3" on this forum had it done right, but costs around $20k IIRC. Looks sweet, though. Bryan Watt's dad has it on his E36 M3 B-Mod car, and it's nice.

    There are some widebody kits that look tasteful to me. I wouldn't do it myself because I like how "skinny" my car looks. But I definitely agree that you shouldn't do it unless you have the power to back it up.

    It's actually made by a company called Rennsport. Here is the origional pic (un-photochopped):

    Edit: I forgot to add...that isn't an M3, either. I think it's a 328, but I don't know for sure.

    If "mot" goes widebody (if he even gets an M3), I think it's important that he also get's a spoiler. Widebody w/o one doesn't look right.
