To make a long(read below) story short: What parts will I need to fit M3 aftermarket wheels under 335i e92 fenders?
I know that I'll need M3 front fenders, bonnet, front bumper, headlights, but what else for the front? Can anybody give me a list of all the parts required to fit M3 front on non-M e92?
And what about the rear? Rear bumper, quarter panels(rear fenders) will suffice?
I just need a list of all the parts that I will need to calculate how much it can be.

I've got a friend in my country who can get me M3 parts(bumpers, fenders, hood etc.) for like 70% of the price of M-tech bumpers I've got right now on my car(in case I sell them). And recently I got rid of my old Iconz wheels and I can't stop thinking of getting some M3 (aftermarket) wheels. Then one led to another and I consider an option of wider fenders.

As far as I know there are no front fenders on the market that would be good for M3 wheels(extra 20mm of room required). And the only option is to go all OEM(M3) way. I am not looking for an M3 look, though.

You could probably fit OEM M3 wheels without switching out body panels, but I think you would have very slight rubbing.
Look up the member Panoz, he did it and it looks wonderful.

I wish I could to the M3 transformation you are talking about, but it works out to be too expensive. Plus, reselling would be a pain.

Go to RealOEM.com and you can figure out what you need.
I think you'll need the front quarter panels too because the wheel wells are flared out more with the M3 front bumper and you'll need to match it.

Also, I don't think there are rear quarter panels. I'm pretty sure that body part is one piece going around the whole door. Pretty expensive.

But I am not learned in this field at all, so don't just go by what I say.
Good luck, and upload some pictures if you get it done!

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I was talking about aftermarket wheels and there's no way they would fit under non-M fenders.

I took this time to find answers to the questions I asked in this thread.

For the rear I'll need rear M3 bumper and quarter panels(or a shop that would flare my fenders).
For the front:
Bonnet, fenders, bumper, radiator support, headlight brackets(e92 335i and e92 M3 have the same headlights, not sure about other models), air ducts and wheel housing. Also I would need some other small parts. Which ones I don't know.

I have OEM M3 wheels on my non M e92 and they fit beautifully. Here's a picture, and I have ZERO rubbing issues. The images show the wheels with snow tires that have a wider sidewall and rim protector than my current 225-40-18 front and 255-35-18 rear setup. Either way, I didn't rub with the winter tires either. Keep in mind, when the suspension compresses, the tops of the wheels fold inwards creating negative camber and providing more clearance.

for the conversion, you would still need sideskirts, inner fender liners, the rear inner fender(metal), M3 exhaust to fit rear bumper, and most likely, the front under body panel.

Oh my bad. I thought you were referring to the 19" upgraded wheels.

Thanks for opinion and for the pics, mycoupe.
However I am looking for aftermarket M3 wheels the ones with 20 et's and 10.5 width, and they will stick out almost the whole inch in comparison to aftermarket non-M e92 wheels(33et 9.5 and 275 30 tires and they still rub sometimes)

My body shop is doing the rear conversion by flaring the rear panels, this also requires modification of the inner quarter panels.

i was going leave the front with just M-tech but i am really considering doing the full M3 conversion of the front.

is there any one that has completed this, that can tell us all the parts that we are required to purchase.

and what else needs to be modified
