It could cost you very little or a lot depending on how much your car is worth and how much you owe.

To maximize the value on your 335i try selling your car via autotrader & craigslist however trading it in can also be a good value if you have a lot of equity as you wouldn't pay taxes on the equity that's applied to the new M3. If you decide to sell your car private party, once sold you can look for an M3 used on autotrader, craigslist, M3 forums, or the dealership.

Good luck with not making your car look like like something it's not.

Let the guy do whatever he wants to his car without being ridiculed. The whole "being something it's not" is the lamest argument I've ever heard. Have you heard of kit-cars before? Modding cars is a hobby. I guess people on these boards are afraid of the BMW brand being cheapened by ricers or something.

He asked how this can be done, not if you thought it was cool or not.

Here's the front bumper for E92: http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/3-Se...duct_info.html

bought a used 2008 m3 but traded in for 2009 335i. Do a lot of city driving and m3 is too expensive to maintain for me. Also i wanna do some mods on the engine so i chose the 335i

Wow based on your mods done to your 335i it doesn't seem like your necessarily hurting for money but I I'm sure it is possible to get the front, sides, rear, hood, and fenders but I don't think you can get all the parts you want from one vendor. Going have to piece it together. But once said and done it's going to be quite a bit to make your car look like an m3. I would personally just go with the Amuse Ericcson full body kit and trunk. It'd be more eye catching and nicer than a converted 335/m3. But hey only my 2 cents.
