Taiwanese F30 Taxi is back with M3 Front/Rear

cncmastr · 03-30-2015, 12:25 PM

Why is this front page worthy?

raysspl · 03-30-2015, 12:34 PM

hahahahahahaha props for not giving a f*ck

Zeroblade · 03-30-2015, 12:57 PM

Hope I get from point A to point B plenty quick now XD

Thats a really well done turn out. I'd let the fake M3 badge slide. Bonus if he hacked the Active Sound to make it sound like the M3 XD

This reminds me of the funny movie Taxi (2004) staring Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah.

snowyf31 · 03-30-2015, 01:50 PM

Why is there an M badge on that... ew... love the front bumper though!

GetYourWheels · 03-30-2015, 02:33 PM

The kit fits surprisingly well! I wouldnt mind a ride in that thing!

ScoopsLR · 03-30-2015, 02:42 PM

Taxi in style. I bet business is good.

Oh dear

Haha! I wanna buy that guy a beer!

Who gives a damn about the M3 badge. People act like its a sacred item. It is NOT. LOL

Nicely done conversion man!

Bryant@TMB · 03-30-2015, 07:25 PM

I guess you gotta keep those gas milage down some way.

TW0929 · 03-30-2015, 09:52 PM

I actually saw this car the other day on Taiwan Highway haha

squidlyboy · 03-30-2015, 10:36 PM

wtf... I don't know how I feel about this. its like finding out your gf is a hooker ...

ChrisMT79 · 03-31-2015, 08:46 AM

Well considering the cost of a real M3 in Taiwan, along with the fuel efficiency, what he did makes more sense than buying a real one. It looks like a fairly decent kit, I'd bet 90% of his customers are none the wiser, and it has probably increased business. Not many places to utilize the attributes of an M in Tawian anyway, especially in the cities.

NickRac · 03-31-2015, 05:33 PM

I understand wanting to make your car look like an M3 but why on Earth add the M3 badge?

Can't agree more. Definitely not sacred! Very good conversion.

No, you're right, those are 22".

The pictures were changed, on the previous ones, it was either 16 or 17" wheels...

motivevelocity · 06-28-2015, 09:07 AM

For those of you who are on the fence about the M3 being a daily driver? Buddy of mine shared this. Spotted M3 Taxi in Taiwan, wouldn't mind riding in that next time i'm there. Not sure how the driver drives it tho.

It's not an M3. It's a riced out 320 or 328. Will look for the link later. M3's are crazy expensive in Taiwan.

Looking good here, Dakkar Yellow.

If it isn't an M3 then someone spent a LOT of money on body work (fenders, etc), reworked exhaust, etc. It probably would have cost more to retrofit a 328 with all new sheet metal, wheels, exhaust, etc than just buying an M3.

I think that's the real deal... that has M3 front fenders, rear fenders, wheels, exhaust, rear fascia and even the section under the doors. No way that's a fake.
