Sorry for the pictures resolution, I've done today a "WHOLE" M3 suspension conversion (rear and front) no photos for the front yet sorry. That includes the m3 LSD differential, I won't get into details till I get some proper photos... Just few shots









my old REAR AXLE CARRIER including Wheel carriers (left and right),Camber link (left and right), Steering arm with ball joint, Wishbone (left and right), Guide rod (left and right) with the differential picture:



ALL been converted to m3 parts including the m3 LSD differential with output shafts.

Much win. Impressive.


>where did you source the parts from?
+1

Also, and more importantly to me, how much time has it taken you so far?

Ty guys for your kind comments.
I got the parts from the " Test " factory of BMW in germany that I've got them shipped to me, parts were taken from an m3 that had less then 10 KMs or like 6 miles on it, they're brand new!
About the cost, can't tell the exact amount of money but its pretty cheap as I was checking and comparing the price of every part from the dealers the whole conversion would cost like $10K if I had bought them from the dealers! which costed me around $3k only with the installation.
About time today was the first day 60% of the work was done, tomorrow will be done, so 2 days in total.

Amazing. Thanks for posting.

Make sure you get detailed pictures up when you can of everything you've done and the stance when complete.

That's more like a transplant than a conversion. Impressive.

I am planning to do the same as you and as George Smooth did only for therear.

Everything in front and in rear fits 100% bolt-on, the only thing that has to be adapted and that blocks me is the:

DRIVE SHAFT at the gearbox side: the 3 bots on the M3 gearbox are on a circle of 110mm, the 335i has 105mm circle.

HOW did you modify/adapt the driveshaft?????????

Please post pictures and explanation, my rear M3 complete subframe is waiting 1 year already

The front is simple plug and play, M3 damoers + HR springs to lower the car

Can you adapt it at the guibo? (driveshaft shock-absorber component)

seen your other posts about transplanting M3 parts—very cool.
