I think like the E90/92/93 M3 variants, we shall see M3 in all 3 variants if not 4.

Why didn't they make a sedan e46 M3 anyway? I've seen some mod-ed pre-FL sedans, not those rice mods but the sedan can look as sporty and agressive as the coupe.

I've been following that thread since the very beginning, it's truly an amazing project.

I wish BMW would consider re-manufacture the previous gen E46 as M3 sedan with S54 power plant, I bet it's going to sell like hot cake.

This isn't anything new. I've seen guys turn their regular A4s into RS4, etc. Also, I've seen a M3 Sedan Swap SO many times at Hot Import Nights, etc., that this is nothing new.

But there is an M3 sedan(E90 M3)in the market, why should they go back to making an M3 out of an old chassis?

True. On E46Fanatics alone there are more then 5 people who have done the whole conversion in their back yard, but almost all of them come out looking riced up or slightly over the top.

Knowing how all fellow GCZ'ers love the OEM look I figured this would be more appreciated here and this one is by far the best example of what an E46 M3 sedan would have looked like had BMW made one.

So Scott!

What is your final verdict about this car?

Now having seen the full picture of how it was built with every last M3 detail?

This is, by far, the best looking M3 E46 sedan build I have seen... registration taxes in Norway are silly. Hence, it makes more sense to take a 318, modify it and register it as a private build.
