E46 M3 four-door is the bee’s farkin’ knees

Wow— now this gets us excited. We can’t stop staring at this car’s wide rear track, where there normally wouldn’t be any doors.

If only BMW had built this car and brought it to market ten years ago— alas, we all know how that one turned out. We get that the saloons don’t sell as well as the coupés, but it almost seems unfair – nevermind arbitrary – to offer this in the E36 but not the E46, only to offer it again in the E90.

Droolworthy stuff right here. We couldn’t ask for more out of a car.

This is just too awesome for words!!! I never really liked the E46 M3 b/c it didn’t come in 4 door….

Wow! Is this a BMW prototype or a custom one-off deal… any info? Either way, it positively reeks of awesomeness.

Very successful execution here! There’s info on a one-off E90 wagon/estate floating around in the inter-webs as well!

that’s a p-chop! however, there’s a real e46 touring that many have lusted over. ‘crack pipe’ price though:

@franz: it’s a custom build by an enthusiast in norway. source is at the bottom of the post.

To my eye, the four-door design doesn’t look as well-resolved as the two-door. I much prefer the four-door E9X M3 to its coupe brethren, particularly pre-facelift, but the two-door E46 has this mock-up beat.
