The BMW M3 is well-known to be a do-it-all sort of vehicle, particularly the sedan variants. Whether it be by choice, economical or logistical reasons, some drivers choose to have only 1 car. The sport sedan fills in that niche well as it can be just as good on the road as it is on the track. The E90 M3 with its more-than-adequate S65 V8 is a German muscle car with four doors. When it's not being used as a grocery getter or family vehicle, one can easily remove the child seats and take it to a high performance driving event. That's exactly the kind of purpose the owner of this Space Grey car had in mind.

When the OEM never made the car you wanted, you get it made yourself. That's what the owner of these amazing custom-built E46 M3 Sedan and Touring did. These Alpine White beauties are complete conversions with S54 engines and 6-speed transmissions. To top it all off, both of these cars are slicktops as well! Truly the stuff of dreams! Which one do you prefer?

Sometimes the more special and rarer stuff makes their way into our shop. This ultra-clean 2001 Z3 M Roadster is definitely special as it's equipped with the same S54 engine out of the E46 M3. Only about 1,500 S54 M Roadsters reached North America, making it a unicorn. This particular example only has a little over 29,000 miles on the odometer, making it a museum-quality time capsule. A tell-tale trait of an S54 equipped Z3 M without looking under the hood is a gauge cluster with a light gray background.

This little white roadster was also treated to the full Dinan Stage 3 treatment, which included exhaust, intake and tune. It is also rolling on 17'' Dinan wheels made by Fiske. Just at a glance, one could tell that this M Roadster is its owner's pride and joy. If this classic ever gets sold, the next owner can definitely buy with confidence!

Another tastefully done black= M3 graces the eas blog! This time, it's a Black Sapphire F80 M3 rolling on a quality set of Volk Racing TE37 Ultras. These TE37 Ultras are specifically the M-Spec version finished in Diamond Dark Gunmetal. It's really tough to go wrong with TE37s as these proven wheels look good on almost everything. The perfectly-dialed in ride height was provided by KW Variant 3 (V3) Coilovers. To complete the look of the car, a BMW M Performance Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler is up front and a 3D Design Carbon Fiber Type 2 Rear Diffuser is on the rear. Overall, a very tastefully done build with top-quality parts!
