M-parts on my non M coupe: UPDATE 11/15

brandon @ eas · 11-15-2008, 01:39 PM

I started this project around 7 months ago and finally got the front all finished thanks to LONGTran again, for all his hard work, excellent paint and late night installs. Now I just need to finish up the rear! Now you can finally see how a titanium silver M3 would look if they made them in that color. Oh and I got KWV2's installed, thats why the car is sitting a little bit higher than it used to (on purpose)

Parts installed for M3 retrofit:(ALL parts are OEM M3 parts)
*Front Bumper
*Front Fenders
*Side Skirts
*Rear trunk lip
*Hood
*Radiator support
*Headlight brackets
*Front grille mesh, hood mesh/grilles
*Side fender markers, housings
*Various brackets etc custom fit by Long

Thanks Craig! Yes, i am extremely happy with it! Especially because I can continue getting 31mpg yet have a car that doesnt look anything like a prius or civic daily driver! lol (I drive a lot)

Boost Gomez · 11-15-2008, 01:47 PM

Wow, they should offer the M3 in this color.

lol for some reason your posts always confuse me

they have already made it as you can see in the pics, e92 is available in many colors including red and SSII. what color are YOU talking about ???

btw OP, your car is sexy as fuck, i didn't realize it was retrofitted until i saw the thread title in the photo gallery, it looks really amazing

for your dedication and money you have spent on your car in order to archive that look, its well deserved.

Stupid kid. It's titanium silver, a color they don't currently offer on the M3. Read the thread before you speak nonsense.

Ironic's car blows mine out of the water, there is no comparison there. I think there is a 3rd conversion in Japan, it was that orange E93
