Wide Body E46 M3: Red - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

9 Ball · 04-21-2007, 09:15 AM

As I was coming from I-476 S. merging onto I-95 N, cruising to my left was a wide body E46 M3. I had the presence of mind to grab my camera phone. Word is, he’s been spotted several times around 95 and the Airport but no one seems to know him. The car was pretty aggressive looking (wide, chrome wheels, HREs perhaps?) It was warm yesterday so, like me, I guess he was taking the car for a spin.

Looks great.

wow that thing is pretty sweet looking....around what time was this? I was cruising 95 yesterday and I didnt see anyone lol

7 ish maybe? I also saw a yellow Jetta with a huge front mount and a modded C5 Vette with a diffuser, wheels and exhaust. Everyone was rolling around yesterday.

i dont know who he is but ive seen that car a lot near my friend's house.

it looks sick in person.

Looks nice!!!

Jeff, did you take pics while you were driving? Good skill man!

Obioban · 04-21-2007, 10:34 PM

I don't have any idea who that is, and I know most of the local e46 M3 guys that mod, very odd...

Nick 95 6sp · 04-21-2007, 11:39 PM

I think I saw this red one on Rt 3 pulling in and out of Brandywine Porsche. I know there is Jon M. who works there who has a nice moded M3, his is that bright blue color whatever they call it ...I first met him when we were at Pocono together. He has meets there and I think that's when I saw this red one there.

never saw this one either.

9 Ball · 04-22-2007, 02:10 PM

Yes, while I was driving I took the pics.

And none of the European tuners posted here know this guy either…

... the mystery thickens!

OMG JDM · 04-22-2007, 02:52 PM

not sure if you payed attention or could've seen it, but did it have recaros?

resisTm3 · 04-22-2007, 06:19 PM

bastid · 04-22-2007, 08:39 PM

Never seen him or heard of his car.

I couldn’t tell. The windows were too dark.

I think, for the most part, the motor was stock. When he accelerated it sounded like it was unmodded. But it looked intimidating none the less.

vDevilu · 04-23-2007, 10:34 AM

Is this the M3 with the red carbon hood? Asian guy who featured in EuroTuner or European Car a Couple years ago?

9 Ball · 04-23-2007, 10:51 AM

I couldn’t tell his nationality but the hood was an aftermarket piece… it had several vents.

Ryza24 · 04-23-2007, 03:47 PM

ive seen this car on 476.. dude was flying thou.. deff WB M3 diff guy maybe.. didnt think it had a AM hood

Broken5hift · 04-23-2007, 03:56 PM

i might know who that is......... looks like i will have to do some investigating

9 Ball · 07-13-2007, 07:00 AM

Hmm… well one part of this mystery is solved. The guy lives in Philly. I’ve passed by his car twice.

And it looks badass – definitely one of the nicest M3s out there.

Gorilla Unit 33 · 07-13-2007, 08:31 AM

DUN DUN DUNNNNN .....
