[pdjafari]

I wonder how much a C63 would cost there

[Mookie469]

Any more pictures? Updates?

[Galal01]

[FVM3]

remember the m3 side mirror

[grimlock]

Holy ****
this is both very interesting and very impressive, btw I'm curious, how much do you have to know about cars in order to do something like this? Do the local mechanics have the knowledge to perform a transplant like this?
anyway, this has to be the best thread for a long time

[MusclezMarinara]

just to recapp

316i changed body panels..fenders, hood, rear bumper, front bumper exhaust all to M3
335i motor in the 316i
M3 interior

All correct?

i would like to see how this car is going to run the ECUs are very sensitive to parts changed.... a lot of re programming and technical skills to get this puppy up and running.

Build looks great, really nice work. Can't wait to see the final finished pictures!

Also, seriously, Import taxes ftl.

Hello People...

I need some help picking a color for the car... Post your opinion bellow... Please put in mind that the interior is Saddle Brown.. The Current color is Alpine White...




These are the following choices:

Alpine White (Current Color)


Melborne Red



Mineral Metallic White



Interlagos Blue

[Elie335]

white is boring, go jerez black or Melborne Red

[ibeclueless]

very nice!

[ibimmer954]

Laguna Seca Blue!

[donsgolf2012]

should of done the m3 engine= no HPFP.
added a supercharger= instaboner
Laguna Seca Blue

[bimmercontrol]

i actually think he will have more fun upgrading the turbos and remapping. boohoo on the HPFP get another one, like its a big deal when he just ripped apart several cars. one tire can easily cost more than a HPFP

oh and Laguna Seca Blue would be epic on an e92

[bugmcw]

Mineral white!

Here is the thread I found it in http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...guna+seca+blue

Apparently you need an understanding dealer that can pull some strings with BMW.

holy sh*t! Ill want that labor rate here in the US..

OP, I thought car price/tax in Taiwan is high enough but you guys are wayyyyy more..
a M3 in Taiwan cost 4,140,000 NTD... which is about 135,000 USD..
