Look again. Front of the e36 is on BMW Motorsport wheels, the rear isn't!

Any car which is lowered to the point where you can't see the top of the tyres fully in the wheel arches looks stupid.

I noticed
Just presumed he had a temporary set of rear wheels and tyres on for drifting.Well, that's just your option? Grandad. I think the E36 looks spot on there.
Some people simply like the look, I do like it too. Would I run my daily car like that static? No, but I'd love that on my project car. I always hated the arch gap and getting rid of it makes cars look much better in my opinion. Wheels that fill the arches properly and no balloon tyres also help
It's just taste, something that's difficult to argue with. I enjoy looking at unique cars much more than your daily diesel BMW that's completely standard. But that's just me

I like the E30 out of the three.

Which is ironic given most slammed E46s are:
a) not unique
b) diesel
A mint Sport in standard condition is about as unique as E46s can be these days
There's something about an E36 on the BMW Motorsport alloys. (I'll just visualise them on the rear for now )
But I agree. People have completely different tastes in cars. If I was to exclusively track it - although I would use the E36 Coupe rather than Saloon/Estate - I'd have it with that stance, otherwise it would be raised by about an inch for general use (and wouldn't bother adjusting it for a show). Friend of mine had to take every speed hump sideways at about 2mph for that exact problem in his E36.

Why would you specifically use the coupe over the saloon for track work?

Shock horror in people on a discussion forum having different opinions.
Quick research actually shows very little weight difference between the Coupe and Saloon. I thought there may have been a bigger difference, hence what I said above. Still prefer the looks of the Coupe though.
Saloon (without folding rear seats) has a stiffer body also, technically better for track work.Quick research actually shows very little weight difference between the Coupe and Saloon.
