Here’s proof that you don’t need to a full-fat M car to enjoy a piece of that lifestyle. What we have here is an extremely ordinary BMW 328i F80 sedan styled by its owner in a special way, so it now looks much cooler than any M model on offer by the company today.

Granted, there’s some deep modifications going on here. But we put it to you, this car turns up at a car meet and parks itself next to a stock M3, nobody’s going to look at the M-mobile. This bad boy has got a complete visual makeover that turns it from a sensible family saloon into a badass hotrod that just happens to have four doors.

A large of part of this stealthy BMW 328i is, of course, due to the matte grey wrap it’s rocking. It is complemented with black accents and darkened lights, but the main reason it pops so much is because of a number of M Performance parts such as front spoiler, grille,s side skirts, rear diffuser insert and boot lid wing, all in carbon fiber.

Chassis-wise, this special 328i gets a set of Vossen VFS-6 in gloss graphite supported by H&R lowering springs for the perfect stance.
