opinion?

You first
Why are the headlights replaced with shitty ones?
>>14186336
It is a good car that is underrated by BMW faggots.
It's faster than Coupe and Sedan model because it much lighter. And if you hate the front of it you can just replace it with the sedan/coupe front.
I like it a lot, the more i look at it the better it becomes.
Not to mention awesome interior.
>now your turn.
>>14186360
>just replace the front
Isnt that a new hood, headlights, bumper, brackets and quarter panels?
Seems like big >just

if you know to work your spanner its a 1 hour job.
But again i like it because its totally different than the pack.
used to own an E36 compact, great little car. My favourite thing about it is how BMW went abuot making them. Could've just taken a coupe and reversed it into a wall till the boot was gone, instead it seems they decided to make every part of the car 3/4 inch shorter than all other models. As I found out while trying to put in my arm rest centre console from a coupe
>>14186413
Yes but i think that E36 was made in every way different, while the E46 Compact is basically the same inside as any other E46
In all honestly, it looks disgusting, but i'm sure it drives like any other BMW of the era.
>>14186336
I'm sure I remember someone saying the compacts had massively downgraded rear suspension relative to other 3ers. I think it was just some fag on here though, so there might not be anything in it.
Aside from that, I very much like the idea of them. I imagine they're a lot of fun.
Something about those headlights reminds me of a Fiat Multipla.
>>14186755
That's true for the E36, they have the same rear suspension as the E30.
>>14186514
This. The E36 Compact dashboards also seemed like slightly modified E30 dashboards. Honestly the only original E36 design about the compact was the front end, everything else seems to have specially designed just for it.
>>14186336
Now it looks like BMW 3 series with a Mercedes mask on it.
Cousin got one and I've driven it a few times. Ugly car but it's a nice enough drive, if anything better to similar BMWs.
>>14190006
Yea, i will get it as soon as i sell my car.
It will be a nice car to own.
Cant wait to see the faces of other "real" BMW drivers as i go past them in my "ugly non BMW"
got one as a service car once, nothing to complain about
friend working for bmw told me its one of the most reliable bmw ever made, so that's a plus

Dont know if bait or not, because that N42 engine is a piece of shit.
>>14190039
kek.
>>14186336
headlights are shitt
>>14190039
Kek. A shame though because I really like the rest of the car.
>>14186552
What if that front was swapped to an estate? It would be kinda cool.
>>14190054
>n42 engine is a piece of shit
Why are we limiting it to just the engine? New BMW's are mostly shit.

>>14191212
That is true, so change the rims, put on M3 lip and you are good to go.
>>14191212
Like driving it off a cliff and into a river full of dynamite.
>>14191234
I like em

>>14191355
Minus that wing and those headlights.
>>14191552
ancient wheel style makes it pop
just needs work on the bumper and rear roof line to break up the stubby shape
