    E46 M3 Touring Wagon In The Flesh: Hi Res Walk-Around

    We've seen the semi-dim garage pics from years ago. Here it is in the bright lights being shown off by BMW.

            My vague memory is that they never released the chrome shadow paint because it caused cancer.

              I especially like how the fenders and doors don't match.

                Sounds exactly like something that would have been said on (classic) Top Gear. lol

                  I'd buy it tomorrow as a daily if they released it today exactly as is.

                    I saw this car when I toured the M facility in the late 2000s. I've wanted one ever since. A real shame they never took it to production.

                    A M3 wagon conversion will remain on my bucket list.

                      Yeah the manufacturer was Color Dec in Italy. I believe it wasn't able to be imported wet into the states due to the high lead content.
