It has to have the M sport package to look less dull, but that goes for the sedan as well. The right colour also helps. The 'frog eyes' on the front give the car character in my opinion. Furthermore it is practical and not too common.

Mine is stock M54B25 (sadly auto tranny) apart from Zimmerman drilled rotors, bigger wheels, strut brace, rear cat delete with a H-pipe installed in their place and a BMC filter.

Wheelbase is the same as every other E46 hence you can CSL or M3 spec the whole thing as a bolt-on including geometry wise using M3/csl suspension components. It is definitely one of the goofiest designs from BMW but I ended up getting one simply because of the suspension setup and wheelbase and also the fact it's a rwd hatchback which is a format I like. You can get a TON of stuff in the back when folding the rear seats. I have travelled in it with the back full of stuff and with the m-sport bodykit and the right wheels, it doesn't look so bad. I like the squat fat stance it has in the back. It's really just those front lights that are a bit fugly xD This one with csl drivetrain must be kick ass. I got a 325ti with Z4 style 103 wheels which actually look perfect on this car.

I like a lots of tiny or smaller cars, that are lightweight, I also love to drive in a go kart and guess what: monopost cars are also small and light, one can only guess why, hmmm?
