    Another Chrome BMW M3 E46

    It was just six months ago when we saw a silver-plated BMW M3 which in a way has shocked us. Most of you disagreed with the chrome look and we don’t blame you. But a few days ago, one of our readers sent in some photos of another BMW M3, this time the E46 chassis, sporting a chrome paint.

    And…we kinda dig it, especially since the “paint job” seems to be of a higher quality. Also, the gray color looks far better than the gold plated M5 spotted in Moscow recently. According to our friends at Automarket, the owner of this M3 is a huge BMW fan and had no problem spending over $12,000 to “chrome out” his M3.

    Beside the paint job, the M3’s owner also spent a few thousand dollars on a custom Hamann exhaust system.


    Now beside the paint job, we still love the fact that the E46 M3 looks as fresh and classy, as 7-8 years ago. It’s one of these cars that don’t age fast and that’s something that BMW should be proud of.

      That's the best chrome Ive seen so far, good shade though not the bright stuff.

      Is it me, or do E46 M3's have some kind of thing against paint jobs ? The rear fenders and doors never colour match !

                  i believe the photos have been altered. Chrome wouldnt look like that!

                  but gotta agree, the car looks awesome in the snaps!

                    It's not bad, but those orange reflectors are pointless if the car is chrome :D However, I think it's photoshoped to show more gloss/reflection than what it is.

                        i think its the photography thats making it look good - IMHO if we see the car parked on al wahda or anywhere - im sure it wouldnt be looking all that good.

                        personally - dont like chrome on cars man - its made for **** like pens and **** - not cars man

                            this is MUCH BETTER looking than the the previous chrome M3, it's not so bling bling...


                            but agree with the others, you spend over $12,000 on a paint job and the parts dont match??
