Does anyone have one or know where to get ahold of one? I found an old m3cutters post but it only provided S54 models and not exterior. I was hoping to play with some aero designs and have a model of the cars exterior shape would be very helpful.

Yes look for the forza model. Accurate enough for mockups and stuff like that. -
Does anybody have an STL or even better a Fusion360/Solidworks file of the exterior? I'd love to 3d print a model...or five.

There is no decent true cad model out there to my knowledge. I'm not sure about the e46 specifically but the forza models are often scanned and very accurate (perfect for printing at least). If not try to find the gt sport model.Comment

I'd love to get my hands on the Forza model.

I have had no luck finding a forza download. There are a few out there but $100 seems a little steep for personal use. The search continues.......Comment

gamemodels.ru seems to have a ton of car models from many different video games. You'll have to convert them to a more typical 3D model format, but that shouldn't be too big of a deal.
For example, here's a couple Forza E46 M3s:
Found the famous NFS M3 on there too:

Windows 10 now even has a mode called "Windows Sandbox" built in, that launches a one time use VM quick and easy, that wipes itself out whenever you're done with it. Pretty useful.

I have them, but haven't really looked closely at the e46 model or cleaned it up (usually comes with all variety of bumpers\exhausts\variations from the game stacked on top of each other). I've only used the z3m coupe model, which was very accurate, to design a bunch of parts for my car before solidworks.

Here's some shots of the model that I quickly cleaned up. Looks decent. Sadly doesn't have the S54 like the M Coupe..
