I said the same thing, "the FD has its bad views from certain angles", and while the e46 may not have many bad angles, all of its angles (and the car overall) simply isn't in the same class as the FD. It looks like a damn 335 CI for pete's sake, it's not unique at all. My Toyota Tercel and my friends Mitsubishi Galant share the same body lines...get it?
But you bring up a good point, any sports car, lowered on bigger rims and given the right front lip...is usually a lot better looking, and the only way to go vs. a body kit IMO. (Supra, 300zx, Mr2, Miata, etc...)

excuse me but a 325ci does not look like an e46, nor the 330ci or anything 3 series..lol
the e46 *** is bulky, fender flare looking panels, mean looking front, the rims, exhaust..its an awesome view from every angle IMO..
the FD, especially in stock height with stock rims looks horrible from certain angles..thats why i said with rims and lowered, the FD will have the killer look..

The 330Ci comes with exterior "trim" stuff, that eludes to the M3 in a LOT of ways. You being a big drooling fan over BMW's super-box may notice the difference, but you can't sit here and tell me its a world apart from any other BMW...come on. This isn't even arguable....
NOTHING looks like the FD. Well, maybe a miata (HA!), but only for the right reasons. Having that upward curve in the middle of the rear is/was always a good idea (check: viper), they did it on the Mazda Millenia too and it makes it look so much nicer than other cars in its class from the rear views...

to get in start her up and instantly know that you have complete control... but at the same time know that she owns you, and you will never be able to push her to her full limits.
to go 1/2throttle and feel the t78 start to spool and have a second thought about going WOT.
oh and to have traction off the line but as soon as your single spools you break loose, even at like 40mph.... got to love it.
and the ladies

i just love the one of a kind look that it has, thats what brought me on to it at first. the power, the rotary and attention that all came with it were just some added bonus's.

I love the looks,
the handling,
the way I feel when sitting and driving the car,
the way she sounds
when people ask me what kind of car it is
the fact that it almost caused a couple of accidents when people were trying to look at it
the community
the responsibility that is required to own it
but most of all
the fact that an extremely hot girl actually humped my car

Just That people look at me hard cause they know the only thing they will see are those 99 spec tail-lights.
also the fact that its 13years old and people still mimic our design
P.S. unless you have a T78, T88, T51, GT42R, Or a 20B theres no way in hell You can keep up with tat LS7 ZO6

I hate it when morons want to race on city streets -- in the middle of traffic, no less. They see you at a distance, dart all over the place to catch up, rev at you.
"Yeah yeah... I hear your blowoff valve! Now leave me the f*ck alone!" I think I'll make that my new custom license plate frame, complete with a
smiley.
