Looks like the ricer crowd got a hold of a new BMW and went to town.

You've got the most unlikely combination of cars that I have ever seen.

I'm not a fan of ricer body kits, but I must say it looks like it was tastefully and professionally done.

When I saw the first couple of pictures I thought it looked good.

Then I got a good view of the front.

I am confused. Most BMW fans hate the "Bangle Butt". Essentially a raised section that encompasses only the trunk area. The worst offender being the BMW 7 series. They specifically get rid of the feature on the latest 3 sereis because of the complaints. It has a fairly flat, normal trunk area. Then for this M3 they add what looks to me like a Bangle Butt raised spoiler. Its is narrow and only over the trunk area as opposed to most raised spoiler lips that run across the whole width of the rear. And now they are excited?

To me, it looks nice but a little cartoonish to me. All the proportions and features are exaggerated a little too much.

Doesn't make me hot, but doesn't make me cold either.

I much prefer the previous generation rear with the CSL trunk.

Wait, you have an F40? Along with an '89 Camaro?



F40s aren't exactly hanging around the local used car lots... And were they still making those in '96?
