335i to M3 conversion

335iJWC · 09-09-2011, 05:46 PM

Almost done!!

just sharing some pics of my M3 conversion,

to do the rear the body shop used the front fenders of a Mercedes c class cut them up and spot welded it to the rear quater panel.

dont have M3 mirrors (not enough funds for $1800 mirrors)

upgrades include:
KW V2 coil overs
VMR VB3s 19x11,19x9.5
toyo proxes
M3 suspention rear bits and bushings

Engine:
JB4
BMS WW meth kit
CP-e intercooler and oil cooler
ER charge pipe with elbow and 2 meth bugs
HKS BOV
AR ceramic coated DPs
Custom exhaust with magnaflow mufflers

Wow nice, mind sharing how much this cost you? I would love to get the rear done.

335iJWC · 09-09-2011, 07:12 PM

Body shop is respraying the trim, So what do u guys think:

Gloss or matte window trim?

Hey Ant · 09-09-2011, 07:26 PM

edirtaynine · 09-09-2011, 07:59 PM

Im on the east end by tapo cyn

The shop is MTZ it's on van nuys right next to Gintani

rollinstone157 · 09-09-2011, 10:51 PM

Great job so far! And I'd go gloss black, much sportier than matte on a glossy dark colored car. IMO, matte black on a gloss black car looks like unfinished plastic parts to me.

theriz · 09-09-2011, 11:24 PM

dude come to our CCC meet!!!!! creaminz comes all the time.. that would be sick to have 2 335's M3's!

got to M3 then click California then CCC Thread.

O HELLA BMW · 09-09-2011, 11:40 PM

im selling my OEM M3 mirrors for $1350 shipped lmk if your interested

but SUB'D to see the finished product

xpsonic · 09-10-2011, 12:06 AM

Damnnnn, yeah I am curious about the cost also

Dr. G · 09-10-2011, 01:19 AM

You were in an accident prior to all these mods... is insurance paying for this as part of the repair? That would be sweet to get it all done free haha.

Yeah there was damage on the passager rear quater panel and rear bumper so they covered all the work and paint for those.

just had to cover the front conversion parts and paint as well as the driver side rear flare, exhaust etc.

got a discount but you would have to hit every panel to get every thing covered for Free.

Who makes that hood and front fenders?

Will335i · 09-17-2011, 07:58 PM

In for the final product. I am super curious about the cost on the flared rear. How wide are your planning on going with rear tires?

335iJWC · 09-17-2011, 08:02 PM

currently have 305/30/19s with vmr vb3s 19x11 with m3 off sets and it seems conservative. will try a 10mm spacer or maybe 315s
