Saw a car like mine, but it was an M3?

Did they make M3's that look just like my 07 328i? Or did the person just modify it to make it look like an M3? Usually the M3's I've seen look way different. Any ideas on what it was?

I dont know what to tell u if you cant tell a 328 from an M3

He probably modified it ... and did a bad job obviously since you suspected its a 328.

I think what you saw was a 328i with an ///M3 badge. Posers.

how did it look just like your 07 328? coupe? sedan? wheels? fenders? exhaust? hood? spoiler? bumpers? suspension? mirrors?

Doooooo itttttt! It took me 8 months to fine one that was in semi passable condition (but still needed a bit of TLC). It's slow, but so much more fun to drive than my D >.<

I can't imagine any M3 owner doing that. Would be funny though!

And it looks soooo good! The e30 is IMO the best looking BMW, beautiful car and must be really fun to drive. The sound of the M20 is spectacular.

It's my favourite body style with the e46 a close second. The sewing machine noise the M20 produces really kicks up my OCD. It's really hard to convince my brain that the ticking/clapping noise it makes is normal and that my pistons won't shoot out of my hood at any moment now.

Unfortunately, a lot of m3 poses as 328 because everybody knows that the 328 is the true race car, it is superior in everyway

True story. At Beverly Hills BMW we had an M3 come in with a 328i badge. I had to do a double take. At first I thought some guy had just made his 328 look like an M3 but a closer looked confirmed it was indeed an M3 debadged and then rebadged with a 328i. Wolf in sheeps skin.
