Side Frame/Wheel Arches
Due to the larger tire sizes, the side frame structures of the E46 M3 are modified in the area of the wheel cutouts. The front and rear wheel arches have been modified for the larger tire sizes and track widths. The inner side section has also been modified as compared to the E46/2.

The C-pillar area features additional reinforcement.

The hole pattern of the front spring strut towers and rear shock absorber mounts is the same as on the standard parts.

Side Panels

The design of the front and rear side panels lends the E46 a sport appearance.

The front fenders have been formed corresponding to the tire sizes and track width. The fender side grill represents an M-GmbH development.

The rear quarter panels have also been formed corresponding to the tire sizes and track width.
