It’s arguable that the E46 is the best performance car you can buy in that price range…” Yep, you won’t hear any arguments from us. But I also like to have a nice exterior and interior. “I like to go fast, and have a car that can handle as well. I had a body kit and supercharger ready to go, but then I totalled the car – which led to me getting the E46,” he explains. “Before I got my M3, I had a modded Infiniti G35 with all the bolts-on, reworked suspension, wheels, the works. It has the total package of luxury, handling, performance, good looks, and top speed.” So you can see the inherent dichotomy in keeping that essence and yet exponentially changing it – the soothing effect of the colour choice ticks a lot of boxes, and we perhaps also shouldn’t overlook the irony of using a supercar colour scheme to make an extravagant aesthetic overhaul seem more organic and subtle. “The E46 is one of the best-looking BMWs in my opinion. “I’ve been interested in BMWs ever since one of my best friends in high school got an Imola Red E46 M3 from selling shoes,” he recalls (land of opportunity, huh?). But on the other hand, he didn’t want to deviate too far from the stock form, as he’s always had a bit of a soft spot for it. You see, on the one hand, he was keen to create an overt and in-your-face show-stopping build, harnessing the latest stylistic trends to bring the 2004 M3 bang up-to-date. What is particularly impressive is how the exotic hue softens and quietens the ostentatious body kit, which helps to shuffle Will’s conceptual wrangling into some sort of logical order. But with its owner, Will Wang, being manager and lead tech at iDL Design USA and iDL Auto Spa, you wouldn’t really expect anything but the best. That is a Ferrari shade of paint, no less, and it speaks volumes about the quality of this build. And it certainly works on this E46 M3 Pandem, doesn’t it? The palettes have tectonically shifted, and nowadays red can seem like a pretty offbeat choice. It is not so much the case these days, since manufacturers started showcasing all their latest concepts and sport models in shimmering white paint white used to be the cheapskate option, but it’s somehow flipped and become premium. Ford infamously embraced this in fine style by offering their hot hatches in a sporty shade by the name of ‘Rosso Red’ – which of course means, er, ‘Red Red’. And with mainstream cars it was the same – red reinforces residuals.

‘Resale Red’, dealers would call it – particularly if it was a Ferrari, only a fool would spec a black 355 or a yellow 348. There used to be a time when red cars seemed like the obvious choice. How? Improbably, he’s channelled the visual drama of Ferrari to pull it all together… Will Wang has pulled off a neat visual trick here – he’s made an ostentatious Rocket Bunny-kitted M3 look almost subtle. This time it’s Will’s modified BMW E46 M3 Pandem from 2017.
