Not realy a mod but a tweek, filling in the front underside corner looks better and gives strength.

They hold a piece of plastic across the corner so I could glass the corners in.

Not sure if I will ever understand marques, in the 90's Rovers were the cars to have in France while Bm's and Mercs were the ones to have here in the UK, when in Germany and most of Europe thay used them a Taxis, an ex collegue of mine is apparently repatriating BMW M3's from the UK for track use as they cant get enough of them bizzar what have they done will them all?, we may have a retro British (kit) car industry on our hands, thats if the wheel does not come off!

Many M3s, especially E30s and E36s, have been modified in France and serviced in the back alley of grocery shop with rapeseed oil whereas it's easier to find one with a FSH or even a full BMW service history in the UK.
And they're much cheaper too.
I bought my LHD Z3 M Coupé in the UK for 6-8 grand less than what I would have had to pay for it in continental Europe...
