This is for all the people that have been PMing me about what parts are needed to transform an ordinary E92 into an M3 exterior wise...

If you want to perform an OEM looking M3 you have to purchase the following

Whole front panel trim

M3 Headlamp arm

M3 Front Wheel Arch Trim

M3 Front Bumper

M3 Rear Bumper

Bumper Holder Left & Right (Part no 5)

Under Bumper Shield (Part 20 & 23 Right & Left)

M3 Side Skirts Right & Left (Part 1)

M3 Front Fenders

M3 Hood

M3 Lip Spoiler

M3 Rear Muffler

M3 19'' Wheels

M3 Shark Fin

M3 Mirror

M3 Badge

M3 Trim (Part 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

As for the Rear Fenders you will need a skilled body shop to widen them... They should install the rear M3 wheels and work on difference.. they have they're own technique..

You will also need front wheel spacers to push out the front wheels to match the front fenders

AR Catted Downpipes
Koni Suspension with H&R Race Springs
Brembo GT Brake System
Dinan Intercooler

Hopefully these upgrades will give me what I need... Got any suggestions?

Great project, dude.

Suggestions:
- Scrap the RR catch can, it's crap. Get the AR design one or BSH, they don't leak.
- Replace catted downpipes with catless one. In particular if you're upgrading the turbos, otherwise you'll increase the backpressure too much.
- Get an additional oil cooler (AR design, STETT). In particular in a place like Egypt where it's really hot.
- Consider an upgraded radiator. AR design also offers one of those.

Just my 2c.

awesome update!

kcgman · 11-30-2010, 01:44 PM

Very cool. I just wonder if you'd been able to look around longer, could you have avoided buying the original car and managed to build a complete car from 3 junk yard cars? Imagine the savings... and the aggravation. Then again, it's not like you took the easy way out in the first place.

Very cool project. Thanks for sharing it.

asuresh8 · 12-30-2010, 10:27 AM

any updates?

BOSSBMW · 12-30-2010, 11:46 AM

i am completely and thoroughly impressed by this project. seems like a have a shop that is really knowledgable and skilled. Good luck i hope it comes out the way you want it. Looks amazing, by the way!

Baldur Abendroth · 12-30-2010, 11:56 AM

Might cost less just to find someone to smuggle an m3 in a container ship.

B3AST · 12-30-2010, 12:28 PM

awesome stuff man!

Nicola's 335i · 01-02-2011, 11:30 AM

F2ED W · 01-02-2011, 03:45 PM

Hi I'm new on here im getting my '07 318i soon (my first car) and was wanting to put the M3 front and rear bumpers on and side skirts. My question is do i need the front fenders and rear arches for the bumpers to line up? I'm not sure whether to use OEM or aftermarket parts.
Thanks Freddie

cotmfk · 01-02-2011, 04:04 PM

Awesome!

Galal01 · 03-06-2011, 07:25 AM

Decided to give the car a new paint job so went with Brilliant White (U21) Turned out really nice however its noticeable at night or when it has sun light on it.. otherwise it could be mistaken for alpine white..

Galal01 · 03-06-2011, 07:38 AM

Installed Supersprint Down Pipes and Remus Quad Sports Exhaust..

Galal01 · 03-06-2011, 07:46 AM

Supersprint down pipes and Remus Quad Sport Muffler

Galal01 · 03-06-2011, 07:56 AM

The car is complete.. However there is only one thing missing to drive.. Which is the Transmission Fluid.. Because this car has a Dual Clutch Transmission it uses a one of a kind transmission fluid that is a life time fluid.. which is Pentosin FFL-4.. Relabeled and sold as BMW PN: 83 22 0 440 214 which is not available in Egypt and usually take 2 months to ship to Egypt through the Dealership.. Will be posting videos soon..

bulldog_yyc · 03-06-2011, 09:51 AM

looks good man! hope all is good with the car - good pick on the paint color

flyboy66 · 03-06-2011, 10:30 AM
