Sweetest M3 ever or not...?

Well I don't know...the one in op also has NASCAR plates but surely he won't be using it for that?

Not quite sure what you mean? You thought it would be used to race in the DTM? lol.

It's a street car.

What I mean is...it's a bit overkill for just a street car isn't it?

It's a street car prepped for doing a lot of track days in. It's not just something to drive to work in, nor is it a race spec car ready for a season in the ALMS.

But anyway, that car is still Chav; just a Chav with lots of cash.

How so?

Because you don't agree with how it looks?

So in your opinion, is anyone who modifies their car a chav?

Looks absolutely terrible. At least the owner will have nice creases in his trousers.

No, DTM cars are wide things with loads of flared aero bits, that M3 has red 5 spokes, a non DTM style rear spoiler and a front splitter. Nothing DTM about it at all.

I was thinking more like this dtm street car (?) then a full on racing one. :o

Why didn't you say that earlier then?

I've never seen one of those 'DTM' road cars before, have you? What do you think looks similar to the M3 in the OP? You really think they were going for the look of a special edition Mercedes?

I meant, maybe thats the look he was going for...I don't know Martin D so we will never know...? :confused:

Yes I have seen one at a NEC auto show before.

Kenai · 23 Jan 2011 at 12:19

Why is everyone so desperate to pin a 'look' he was going for?

Maybe he just modified it in a manner he liked, with parts he liked until he had a result he liked, without trying to attain any particular style or look.

Wicksta · 23 Jan 2011 at 12:19

So what do you think is similar between the two cars then?

This is clearly what he did. It's not 'DTM' style, nor is it a copy of some obscure special edition Mercedes that it looks nothing like.

Blackhawk47 · 23 Jan 2011 at 12:22

Look its just what I thought of when I first saw the OP.

Oh wait...I am the person who started the thread on ocuk...and OPs on Ocuk aren't allowed an opinion on what they post lol?

Housey · 23 Jan 2011 at 12:23

It seems to have been done to a very high standard with quality bits so it's hardly Chav now is it. Not to everyones taste, not to mine but it's a job well done.

It's your opinion, that's fine. It's a discussion forum though so I discussed with you why it's not a 'DTM' look at all and it is very unlikely he saw that Mercedes in your pic and said "I want my car to look like that". If he did, he failed - very badly.

Burnie1000 · 24 Jan 2011 at 00:29

LOVE IT!

Personally I would remove the blue woman decals, swap the BRIDEs with Recaros and change the tyres to AD08s.

Sin_Chase · 24 Jan 2011 at 00:57

Naff wheels.
Naff decals.
Naff unsuited spoiler.

Overall - naff.

Can you see where I am coming from though?

I do fully agree that the interior is very JDM like in terms of styling.
