Every once in a while, there comes a car that sets the automotive blogosphere on fire.
Surely this E30 M3 will be one of them, right?
Spotted on HellaFlush.

Looks ok. How fast is it?
this car is dead sexy. always wanted one.
I don't like the looks at all. I guess I'm too much of a performance guy to think that this is good. No suspension travel = bad handling. Show at least a little bit of tire above the wheel.
NO.
STOP IT.
I wish I knew some info about the car, I wonder what engine it has?
The CAR is cool, but the 1980s WHITE wheels and NO vertical suspension travel?

Damn! i love E30s... this ones perfect!
juicy
Now when I go down to the garage and look at my bone stock m3, this pales in comparison. The M3 was perfect the way it came from the factory. Period
For pure style, it's Tits bro. I love it!
The wheels just seem too large and it's way too low. It has no suspension travel whatsoever. I'm really getting annoyed with this flush trend catching on. It's cool to an extent, until it's not even remotely that functional anymore.
too bad a car that nice fell victim to a trend like this.
Sorry this looks awful. hella lame.
Hey look, it's another amazing car ruined by a fad taken too far.
nicely turned out car - all the way round, this car ticks all the right boxes..
Too good, love it!
This is just like cutting an athlete's legs just for making him look "cooler".
who put the wheels on that car ???
it's bloody awfull...
E30 M3 Factroy Wheels ... not this big "things" literally ..
looks hilarious .. and no susnesion travel at all .. what a mess .. bye bye oil pan ..
Always be my dream car!
A true Bemmer Fan would never like that, they like to keep that authentic stock look. Its not like Jap cars that are meant to look gud modified.
Actually, that is pretty close to the ride height, that the works teams used on the E30 M3 back in the DTM days. The suspension components are almost identical to this one (except brake setup), so I don't think this car handles like most of the über slammed hellaflush cars. So I like it
I think the suspension is broken.
Wrong. The wheels are too big, the tires too small, and the stance too low. Go rice out a 318, this is a fantastic car that's been turned into some kind of lame showcar crap.
Dunno why everyone is having whinge about the styling and "ridiculous" ride height. The bodywork is essentially unchanged from the factory, the rims are a slightly more modern twist on the classic Basket weave style and are infinitely more tasteful than some of the ghastly chrome rollers adorning so many bimmers and as for the ride height, they're no doubt coilovers which have been adjusted to their lowest setting for maximum impact at the photoshoot... Until we see a snake skin retrim, airbrushing or 20" dinner plate chromies let's just relax! lol
It's not as if they chopped up the body or cut out or completely redesigned the suspension just to slam it. It's completely reversable. Being a street car I don't see why "wicked sick handling" has to be the most important thing. The car looks good, and that's what the owner wanted. If you don't like it, then don't slam your E30 M3. Simple as that.
If the biggest problem I had to worry about was the way someone else modified their car, I'd have a pretty simple life by my estimation.
