I am not exactly complaining, but it's not as wide as the E46 M3.. therefore we have room for improvement

Only time will tell
I definitely voiced my concerns about this in the past. The level of my concern varies highly with the particular shot, angle, color, lighting, etc. These pics do look good. I think it will be tough to judge without seeing in person. I hope all of the body features look good in white!

Looks great, this sucker is going to look alot wider then the e46m3 in person, e46m3 will look quite conservative when you put these two cars next to each other

I'm waiting for the day until I can put a new one next to the old one on my M3 model shelf. :rocks:

I am definately concerned about the lack of flared fenders. The rear wheel fender is my main concern. Still isn't as noticeable as the E46. You can just glance at the E46 and notice the rear, and it looks mad aggressive. Doesn't seem that way with the mule shots.

Nice E46!
Seriously I don't see what all the barking is about ... Ya ya it's not the same exact angle, but you get the point. The transition may not be as abrupt as the E46 ... that's all I can really see. But that ish is still wiiiiiiiiiiide. |

Right on
Exactly, you hit the nail on the head. The transition/fillet between the flatish main part of the rear quarter and the flare is smoother on the E92 with a much larger radius. Even though I think it is a bit larger overall it is just a bit less sharp which makes it less noticeable. Also I think the flare extends further and more noticeable down onto the bumper cover, and that aspect looks way better than E46.

Word ... Check out the size ... You can see the flare where the reflection changes. And that's the rear ... the front is no comparison ... the E92 looks to be quite a bit wider up front than the E46 in terms of flare-age.

Yeah, but the rear is what gives it that hunkered-down look. And you need that noticeable transition to pull off that look. It's just a real solid look for the E46.
