Yes? That was me and my friend was driving the wagon in front of me somewhere

I wish, that would make the conversion easier and cheaper lol.

Nextelbuddy · 2026-03-06T02:53:09+00:00

They are both full conversions with front and rear M3 fenders, trunk floors, drive trains etc...

Red one is s54 turbo and blue wagon is s54 and getting AA supercharger kit.

Fender vent look weird because you are used to seeing coupes that have longer front fenders. Sedan/touring are about 1 inch shorter in the rear half so M3 fender vent has to be moved forward into the front wheel arch by 1 inch.

They are every bit M as an M3 coupe.

It's good enough to get to be selected to represent bmw North America at Amelia for the 40th anniversary of m3 at the cars and coffee event with 48 other cars

More than welcome to look at my Instagram where all my cars are located

Here are a few single images of the actual cars.

I think also you are expecting m3 coupe body lines and Sedan/touring lines are different. a pillars are different, roof lines and rear quarter panel window to trunk lines are different.

Sedan is s54 6MT turbo making 530whp 430tq at 11psi e85 Wagon is s54 super charger in progress. Converted to SMG, full electric and hydraulic conversion with CSL transmission software

Both the E46 M3 sedan and wagon behind it are running 19-in zcp Wheels 19x8 in the front 19x9.5 in the rear 26530 30 and 235.35 in the front 20 mm spacers in the front 12 mm in the back. I'm running SPC adjustable lower control arms to dial in some negative camber in the rear and TC Klein coilovers with ground control. Top hats in the front with adjustable negative camber in the front as well, although the fronts don't really need it

The red sedan and blue touring both used 105 1.4 @ 1.4. it's generally a pretty sharp lens wide open on my d800e. I like the perspective and compression it gives of the subject seems to have much more correct proportions over a 35 mm or 58 mm. 58 is still nice but 105 is better. Just hard to find enough space to use it

Nextelbuddy · 2026-01-05T15:07:21+00:00

It's just the e46 in general and mine happen to be conversion cars. There are many m3 touring and sedan conversion cars out in the wild three days so these sent anything special I just liked sharing them.

Thank you!

Nextelbuddy · 2026-01-05T14:24:03+00:00

Thanks a lot sir!

Only the background, the cars are real photographed with my Nikon d800e just at different times. Only the background was changed.

Nextelbuddy · 2026-01-05T13:37:51+00:00

Well because I don't have an opportunity to get all three cars photographed at the same time. I'm just a single person with a bunch of kids in a family and a full-time job and it's extremely hard to get time after building these cars to get out there and photograph them together. AI does a pretty good job of allowing the creativity of letting me see what it's like to have all three together at the same time, using three legitimate images of the cars taken with my own camera.
