Wide Body BMW E46 Convertible With Rocket Bunny-Style Overfenders

BMW E46 convertible with wide-body fenders

Being released back in 1998 the E46 body style of the BMW 3-Series immediately became a bestseller for the brand. It’s designed preserved everything we loved in the BMWs of the 90s and at the same time invented the new proportions and curves that made the car look more muscular and sexy from every angle, especially in the Coupe and Convertible versions.

Speaking of convertibles, the E46 Convertible became one of the most popular models in its class, leaving the competition far behind. It’s driver-oriented concept, famous German engineering and impressive performance characteristics could not leave anyone indifferent.

It also became popular thanks to the spacious interior, which could conveniently seat 4 people with luggage, which is much more versatile compared to a Mazda Miata and or a Porsche Boxster. Plus the car did not look ugly with the top up, unlike many competitors.

After the introduction of the E46 M3 GTR, many BMW fans realized that a wide body makes the car look much sexier, but the owner of this awesome-looking 330ci decided to go even further and outfit his convertible with a set of Rocket Bunny Style overfenders.

Despite concerns of some BMW purists, the wide-body fenders actually suit the car quite nicely, especially with a set of properly-sized Ferrada FR4 rims (19×9.5 front and 19×10.5 rear) reminding the E46 M3 GTR edition. Upfront is the M3-style bumper with a black chin spoiler which continues the theme of the trunk duckbill spoiler and rear diffuser.
