Why would you wants to spend all that money making a 320 in to an m3 when you will then have everybody try racing you and gettin laughed at?

Not really worried about that mate, iv got sold my E93 m3 and have on order a new M4 convertible so dont really have any thing to prove to any one by racing them even if it is a diesel, i just had an accident today and the front end completely needs repairing so i thought it would be opportunity to give the car a bit of a change .

Thanks

It'll be a bold thing to do if done tastefully if could well work. The is some of these kits look OK on the web when seen and fitted they sometimes fail yo meet expectation.

Tread carefully..... On a separate note didn't you have the white convert able that was heavily modified and was spines pearl white??

I was just looking at doing the outside only but trying to use original bits but research is making it look like very difficult, nope my e93 was sparkling graphite..

Its orite for some, id say save your money instead of pumping 5k in to a 320, if your car is not a rare colour you should be able to source second hand bumper, bonnet and wings for well under a grand

Nice M3 though

But on the bodyside you'll need to venture to the states I feel to get anywhere

Check my thread....although I have only done the rear

Who cares if people try to race you, just let them pass. This has happened to me many times, just proves people dont know what an M3 really looks like. If I wanted to get an M3 I would, however the running cost is not really justified (at least for me...also you dont have to prove anything to anybody lol

Edit: Oops, just realised you mentioned an E90

That looks lovely mate but to do the whole car using original bits seems like it may be too difficult and too much hassle
