BMW M3 – sport or muscle car?
BMW always impress us with dozen of cars but M3 was one of the best cars they’ve made. Even though you might have a stock M3, it’s performances are really great and if you’re going to a tuning company you could get the best out of it. For example, check out this BMW M3 E46. The car looks like a muscle car and from what i can see, it’s a serious competition for Ford Mustang. It would be a tough choice to choose one of them but if you want to modify your BMW like this one, then it’s worth every penny. Under the hood you’ve got a strong engine that received few modifications and it reached 500 HP from those initial 343 HP.
