"please check it out in the flesh - pictures dont do it justice" referring to 1m.

I agree and it was my 1m in the Photos. Comparing the 2 cars based on the photos alone, the e46 M3 photographs beautifully and the color Estoril blue is one of the nicest I have ever seen on any BMW. The e46 M3 has aged gracefully and looks great from almost every angle.

The 1m VO doesn't photograph nearly as well but there is a big difference between the photos and the beauty of the actual car. In person the car has an amazing presence.

I was also on the fence about ordering VO (originally ordered AW) but I am very happy I went with the VO. Very unique color and fits the 1m's lines perfectly.
