started this the other night...I'm not going for 100% dimensional accuracy (I widened the fenders, left the door handles off and a few other custom touches) like all my other vehicles I make them how I like them...thats the beauty of being the creator. and this is just a test render for materials.

Wow! Great work :thumbsup:. Nice details and especially that intercooler looks great. Only thing that I dont like is the texture of those blinkers at frontbumper. Everything else looks very good :).

good job on modeling and stuff. Really nicely made model, its just missing those finishing touches i think. I dont really like how the doors look next to those buldged fenders. Maybe if they merged together abit more. some of the buldge flowed into the door or something ? Also try some other views and wider camera lens.

Nice model dude I love this BM still one of my favourites, the only thing that looks a bit out of place to me is the wheels are they a little small or have i got my bins on the wrong way!!im not sure

thats a really cool E30 M3. I love the custom fenders, in fact some of the teams that raced the E30 M3 actually widened the fenders like your render.

One minor detail. Just being picky.
Move the air intake on the hood to the driver's side. BMW intake is on the driver's side. The passenger side is where the cam cover resides underneath the bonnet.

Also, have you considered not having the intake on the hood but routing from the front bumper? That's a common BMW mod to get the most dense and cold air for the intake.

Gotta love your car though.

that air intake is actually for the turbo...you can see the turbo just inside it. this is a common mod with drag racers.
