Looks awesome as a sedan, much better than the E90.

I assume it has the e46 M3 engine, if so then that is very nice. Infact very very nice. Wanna trade?

Edit: got interior pics? What front seats are those? BMW performance?

Taxes in Norway are sky high so he still has it registered as a 318i but with the heart and bones of an M3 Pretty cool if you ask me, just wish he would've kept it 100% stock looking with chrome grills,side thingies, and the regular trunk.

From what I could pull out of the original thread -

Stock E46 M3 S54 engine
SMG tranny
Stock exhaust
H&R spacers 20mm rear and 12mm front
Wheel studs
OEM 19" M3 wheels
KW V3 coilovers
Turner camber plates with reinforcement plates and longer bolts
Powerflex rear control arm bushings
Stoptech BBK
