I don't think this has been done yet. Jaserion is mistaken, or confused.

I am sure the side skirts will be no problem.

The front bumper is an issue...you will need to also change the fenders as part of the flaring extends to both pieces. Which then leave you the problem of having to do the rears...unless you are ok with having the front fenders flared and the rears normal.

There is one group that did an entire e92----> M3 swap. I believe they put in a V10 engine in it. Anyways, changing the body panels should not be too difficult. The problem is just getting ahold of the pieces. They are not too readily available as the car has not been officially released in the US.

I agree, I have been carefully studying pics of the m3 skirts to see how much they flare actually on the edges (near fender openings) to see if they would work. Judging by how flexible they are I feel that even if they flare out a whopping inch (wont be that much) you could easily just press them in to line up with a regular e92, you may need some sort of adhesive if the clips done pull it in enough, but id like to be one of the first to try it once I can get my hands on them. Also extremely interested in seeing how to get the front to fit. going to have to cut the inside edges, where the bumper hits the outside edge of the headlight, that way you can pull it in narrower, then reverse the arch of the flare on the fender to match the arch of a stock e92, but shouldnt be an issue since the material is so flexible
