Nice. Did you use a M3 rear bumper as well and redo the exhaust for it?

fitment of the bumper is perfect. the headlight area is about 98% perfect, there is just a small gap below the corner of the light, BUT even brand new M3's I was looking, and Longs M3, had a gap, so there really isnt any way of fixing it. I am rediculously satisfied with the way it all came out- fit, paint quality, look, etc

Yoshii · 11-15-2008, 07:27 PM

that looks bad ass!! real nice job.

1clean335i · 11-15-2008, 07:28 PM

looking fresh! nice work

Terrance28 · 11-15-2008, 07:39 PM

So what parts did you have to modify to fit?

Not much, since I bought all the M3 parts that the bumpers bolt on to. The side skirts required some work (thanks Long) and the rest is just fine tuning for hours and hours and hours trying to get all the lines even, and spacing correct. You can't just bolt everything on, and have it fit. Everything you bolt on, has about an inch of adjustment room, and when you are talking 2 mm adjustments to make it perfect, it can take you a while!

Brandon- Amazing job...foresight...wow!!!

magmd · 11-15-2008, 07:45 PM

hahah...you finally did the hood! Very nice man! About time!

Now....you need mirrors.

Car looks great in pics, I can't wait to see it in person again, now that it has been adjusted.

continentalg5 · 11-15-2008, 08:01 PM

Terrance28 · 11-15-2008, 08:01 PM

Can you just fit the hood by itself on a e92 335i?

no, the M3 hood, is about 1.5 inch longer than a stock hood.

There is a 328, 330, and 335 on this board that did the conversion. Well not all did the rear. The e93 overseas was a 335?? IDK.

So...which 325 is going to do it next???
