"Even the coolest of M3 design elements throughout history have been pragmatic in nature. For instance, the E92 M3's hood bulge was only added to accommodate the big V8 engine. The F80 M3's killer fender flares were only added to fit the M3's wider wheel track than the standard 3 Series."

The hood bulge was also used for esthetic reasons as well. Basically to signal greater performance/power. Hence why the e46m3 had a hood bulge.


IMO, other than the current iteration, all of the M3's look great except for the F80. I just didn't like the roof line of the F80(30).
