Uhh no... Show me a japanese cars that are rebadged and suppose to be different models? I dont think so, I could never tell it was the same chasis used on my car.
Ever heard of the Mitsubishi GTO? What about the Dodge Stealth? Or the Mitsubishi 3000GT?
Oh wait! They're the same cars! Exact same chassis and similar design just with different badges. Hell, the 3000GT and the GTO used the same chassis and exterior but were just rebadged for different markets.
Oh yeah, I know what you mean. My friend put dual Flowmasters on his Chevrolet Tahoe. It's a nice deep rumble, but I still can't get enough of the M3 and M5's engine notes...god they're beautiful.
I want to put flowmasters on my truck, but idk. It's only a 4.0, so it wont have as throaty a growl as that big block... And my mom thinks making it loud is bad.
In my opinion, yes. Even as a DD the E36 M3s are very nice. Great power, decent torque, amazing handling and it looks damned nice. They're actually not that bad when it comes to fuel mileage, although that depends on how much lead is in your foot when you accelerate.
