In a world where most tuners focus on the latest models, Vorsteiner stands out with a love for old M models. You showed us this recently with a wonderful one E46 M3 Coupe and your most recent project, which is now a M3 E46 Convertible. Here too, the tuning is essentially a homage to bygone times when BMW's design was simpler and less cluttered. Vorsteiner has managed to breathe new life into the almost two-decade-old Munich model without disturbing the classic lines. The convertible got a complete aerodynamic package, including a carbon fiber hood that mimics the CSL style of the coupe.

Those are particularly striking CSL-inspired front apron and the nickel-plated gills in the front fenders. There is also a powerful one at the rear diffuser M3, which is also visually different CSL was acquired. The one that is familiar and particularly characteristic from the coupé is not installed Ducktail tailgate. That would also be inappropriate, in our opinion. That's what it was for beautiful rims with polished satin finish. They also bear Vorsteiner's signature and are reminiscent of a classic set of BBS aluminum, which connoisseurs have always appreciated on the M3. The meticulously restored and tastefully tuned M3 Cabriolet is a reminder of a time when BMW designs were not as hectic and exaggerated as they are today - especially with regard to the large kidneys of M3/M4, XM & Co.

Carbon details as a perfect addition

By the way, there are completely new ones behind the aluminum rims mentioned Brembo sports braking system with large perforated windows and bright yellow saddles and there was also a discreet one that was obvious Lowering. Whether that too Exhaust System Unfortunately we cannot say that at the moment. The little one rod antenna but definitely on the left side. In our eyes the vehicle would be one sentence kidneys and Sprouting made of carbon perfect. But in the end that is of course a matter of taste. For purists, a completely standard M3 E46 may always be the first choice, but this one individual conversion is, in our opinion, a successful recognition. Comparing the E46 with the current BMWs shows how much the design has changed in less than 20 years.
