BMW M3 '97 - Inaccurate Model

The one “good” thing about FM 2023’s lighting is how easily. they give away all the outdated and inaccurate car models.

One of the top three BMW M3 generations IMO, the 1997 E36 BMW M3 car model currently in use and has been since FM2 is very inaccurate and outdated. The front nose, front end and rear end give away the errors of this particular vehicle in FM.

The visual errors include inaccurate length and width of the wheelbase, the overly boxy front and rear ends, the inaccurate headlights and taillights, the size of the side windows and the shape of the front hoodline. The proportions are simply off

On the IRL car, the headlights are slimmer and wider. Its front bumper is not overly boxy, slimmer in height and wider like its headlights, the wheelbase is simply more naturally proportionate in length and width. The lower bumper has clear fog lamps on both sides.

The lowest end of the rear bumper is very curved and has flared bits. The rear end is slimmer in height, wider like the rest of the car and has slimmer, wider taillights than FORZA.

Like the overall car, the side windows are slimmer in height on the IRL vehicle.

Similar to the other M3s, requesting to fully rescan and remodel this simplistic beauty. Link to FH5’s car issue below. Thank you.
