BMW M3

[Plutonic]

Hey all, decided I needed to make a car - need two versions, a low-ish poly car for use in game, and a nicer version for title screen. I'm not all that good with 3dMax yet as my 1st real attempt at a proper model, but thought I'd post my progress here!

So far just basic shape for the body:
