I believe you need E90 hood and Definitely need E90 front wings, as they meet the shape of the car which is different to the E92/3.
You'll need headlight brackets also, and all the trims associated with the front end, arch liners, grilles etc. |

The rear will be a custom wide body to m3 specs with the mtech rear. And I will use OEM m3 side skirts then.
Front is not so bad. Basically, bumper, 2 e92 lights, fenders, bumper reinforcement and hood. |

And all the associated brackets and trims. Enter your VIN on realOEM.com and look at the parts for the entire front clip/undertray. Then compare the part numbers to a M3 and you'll see it's more than just the lights and body skin components.

Radiator support, bumper reinforcement and fender brackets and coolant relocation tank. E90 m3 headlight arms and fender liners for LH and RH side with oil cooler duct. Not much at all basic components that would obviously be different considering the difference in the cars. This is going to be my 5th E9X i have done the full mtech, m3 rep, oem+, etc, etc, this is something new i want to try. The end point of this conversion is to get a nice looking wide 335. I could careless about M3 but it looks nice and aggressive the parts are easy to convert to 335 and I think the 335 modded can pull it off. Now a 328i widebody would be just silly. |

Idk I have e92 328 my fender ,hood,and bumper are messed up and I’d rather upgrade and pay a lil more for wider fender ,different style bumper,Mabye a carbon hood , it’s only worth it if you expect this car to be there with you throughout your life and also have plans for it later with an engine swap, build up slowly and then it’ll ready.

If it helps to hear from someone in your shoes, a year ago I was in the same predicament... I did the front end M3 swap. I cut some corners, but got it done.
Now I wish I either A, hadn't done it or B, had done both the front and rear conversions. The work looks really good but unfortunately the rear immediately doesn't match. And it's not something you can really visualize because pictures don't do the fenders justice, and you either see a complete M car or a non M. You never see cars with only one of the two done to say ohh no don't do that. So, not to discourage you.... But try to go with either A or B. Good luck. |
