caff · 02-18-2011, 05:18 PM

i have 2 white e92 coupes. there m sport. one is perfect condition and the other one i bought already damaged and i thought it would be a good project and to have one different to the other. and i sourced m3 front parts and a good price so i thought why not......... so i decided to come here and ask would it fit right.. i love the look of m3 front and i thought it was a good idea..

As swapping these panels is more involved that it first appears...

most model specific car forums i have been on seem to go through the same set of phases..

1. lots of new excited owners when car is released..
2. year or so later the used owners start to filter in, but it's still good
3. 2 years 'til the out of warranty and DIY maintenance questions start appearing
4. perhaps another couple of years for new owners of out of warranty units with ideas for cheap/shit mods pop up
5. cars start being offered for 'breaking'

i feel there could be a step i've missed between 4 and 5 perhaps, but this forums is starting really starting to feel like a transition from 3 to 4 recently..

sorry, but another in the "it will look shit" camp. Have you asked your insurance how they feel about it?

Think it would limit your resale market too.

caff · 02-21-2011, 02:09 PM

have trade insurance so that doesen matter. tink i will go with the genuine front then seems like alot less hardship..

Your a happy so and so arnt you! I always thought the point of a forum was for owners to come and share their thoughts, not be ridiculed for them. As for the above quote, to me you come across a right snob!

BGM · 02-21-2011, 04:00 PM

hah, fair play, i freely admit i am a bit of a snob.. but at the end of the day it's just an observation

i feel perfectly within my rights to ridicule people for wanting to fit quad pipes to a base model 3er, or the such like.. if that's what you want buy an M.

for a little quiz, which step in the chain i posted you reckon i fall into?

rnessbert · 02-21-2011, 04:08 PM

Prob a 6th step.........wait for members in steps 3,4&5 to join and take the mick out of them??

Only messing mate, as I said everyone has a right to say what they think, Its more how its said, at teh end of the day, this kid was obv very excited about starting a project and having a go at creating somthing, might not be everyones cup of tea, but hey if he's gona enjoy thats just give him the advice he came on here for?

P.S...lol, im having similar stick for suggetsing putting dual exhausts on my 320i !!

BGM · 02-21-2011, 04:11 PM

yeah i got all excited when i got mine too, lots of grand ideas that to be frank unless you stupidly minted are just a bad bad bad idea

should just buy the real deal, it will actually be cheaper

*group hug*

rnessbert · 02-21-2011, 05:03 PM

Yep, Group hug sounds good!!!

Lol, tbh just reading the 'Clownage' thread, think i might be seeing the error of my ways (lol, no m sport badge, but the the dual exhaust idea!!)
