BMW has perennially been known for producing the "Ultimate Driving Machine": a harmonious blend of performance and luxury appealing to all the senses. And appealing to the masses has always been the job of the 3-Series, especially the M3.

Back in '00, BMW set the standard for performance automobiles with the release of the E46 M3. While many greeted its arrival with excitement, others were disappointed to hear there wouldn't be a sedan to compete with other marques' sporty four-doors that were gaining popularity. What could be done for those looking for the power and handling of an M3, but with the practicality of two extra doors and more space?

That is a question Jojo Cagungun asked himself in '01 when he bought a 325i sedan. He didn't plan to modify it extensively, but knew whatever the path he took, the mods had to be clean and flow with the lines of car.
