Today i received my Autoart M3 CSL with M3 wheels that I've waited for. I am extremely happy with the results and how well the car is put together. What i like most are the wheels because they look very realistic and then comes the interior, it is fantastic for an older AA. The engine is kind of dull but thats how it is on the 1:1. Also the trunk does not stay up on its own, is this how it is for everyone else? I like the touch of carbon on the roof and overall this is a model i do not regret buying! Here are some pictures so please enjoy :D

This model is just so pleasing to the eyes. It's my second AA so i am very excited!

hmmm i think it looks better with the csl wheels but thats me, fantastic model though

Well orginally i was looking for the normal M3 but someone bought it online before i could get to it. So i looked around for a while and found this for the same price, i figured why not do it =P It doesnt matter though because i really like this with or without the csl wheels.

how did you get one with e46 wheels?

Great model and pics man! :licka: I have a black M3 by Kyosho and I like it a lot too. Is it just me or does this gen M3 look better than the new one(e92?)?

well for me i like bothh, its just too hard to decide. But for the model, kyosho looks great but im not a fan of the wheels because they look off somehow. the e46 model looks better by exterior comparison.

Yeah, I agree the wheels on some kyoshos look off. But to me they aren't that important as far as model cars go. If you could look past the wheels, IMO they actually make very good models and are a great alternative to autoart. Maybe you should try one sometimes. :wink:

As far as BMW styling, while the new M3(e92) looks good on its own, the e46 just looks cooler somehow! :grinyes:

Your M3 looks really great. Have you seen the new e93 by kyosho? It is pretty sweet! I really want one in black but I have no idea how long the "delayed shipping" due to item being "temporarily out of stock" on the bmw site will be ! does anyone happen to know?
