    We all love a future classic, and it doesn't get much better than the stunning BMW E46 M3. In this new series that we're kicking off, we invited RUclipsr Mat Armstrong to the Smallest Cog to have his car checked over by Mike and Anthony, and have a chat with Richard. Here's how it went!

    Modding is essentially a way to prolong the love of your car. Everyone drives a new car with such pride and distinction, which fades over time as you age with the car, and see others around just like it. After a mod of any kind, big or small, engine bay or phone holder, you drive it the next day feeling like you've made it unique again. That, for me, is what it's all about.

    Quick sidenote: please, don't go all supercars/hypercar with this. Great cars such as this E46 M3 or a CSL you mentioned would be fantastic, perhaps a unique Impreza or something. Cars which are young classics, future classics, unique cars, etc. would be fantastic. Don't want to see another programme which features a range of modern McLarens, Lamborghinis and so on. Too many of those already.

    Totally agree with Mat, why drive the same car as your neighbour ? My first car (1980's Celica ST) needed welding and body repairs as well as an engine rebuild. I swapped the pop forward lights to the later pop up lights. Improved air flow into the engine as well as carburetor mod. Badges were also painted. Modified radios and added reverse cameras. Latest mods are adding factory look reverse camera and switching hidden functions / displayed values on my Audi after Audi told me they couldn't or wouldn't do it. Keep going Mat.
