I give it a cool. A big fan of quirky cars and this definitely is that. Its like a
kei car with an engine swap.
 
It had a very poor power/price ratio if I recall. Looks very nice from the side. The front needed pop-ups and the rear is bland. Just edges cool because of the doors.
 
I thought this looked great back in its day, but I don’t think it aged so well. It looks a bit kitcarish now. For its price it should of had the E30 M3s four-pot instead of the 325l’s six for a better balance.
 
These doors are still one of the most interesting details I've ever seen in a car.
As for the rest of the car, it looks nice, but nothing to write home about
I'll go with Cool
