Hahaha BURN!! In all fairness, I picked up the wheels/tires locally for super cheap from a guy nearby with an F30. I wouldn't have gone with the extreme stretch, but they're still 20's so I can't disagree with your logic

Literally the first line of the thread is "I blacked out the M3 badges" As in I purchased the real M3 vents from BMW as opposed to the cheap looking ones that come in the fender and put black vinyl over the M3 badge. There is no "M3" on the car anywhere.

Now, if your point was that the fenders themselves connote M3 by sheer inference, I agree. I bow in disgrace towards all M3 owners

For all questions regarding fitment and source:

Source- JGMods

Fitment- Its tough to say since all the parts are reps. But I'd buy them again. Looks like the shop spent zero time aligning the panels because the skirts are 0.125" too long in the front. This is a known issue and can be remedied quite easily, however they didn't take the time. So that kinda tells me about the rest of the fitment effort. That withstanding, the car looks fantastic as it sits. I'm anal so I see every little flaw, but I'm sure it wont take much to get it 100% perfect.

Thought about making the shop do it, but I'd rather do it myself if they're aren't inclined to handle that naturally.

Almost every 335 I see is rocking M3 sideskirts but when a person does M3 fenders the same people lose their mind. Completely nuts!

Do what you like to "your" car. You want to give it looks like an M3 do it! You want to rock a lime green color, go for it, it's your car.

But yes I'm glad you blacked out the M3 sides. I didn't even put the badge on.

Those fenders look awesome. Doesn't need a drop.

Get an M3 hood and you'll be set!

Love the trunk and hood! I looked for that hood, but couldn't get any solid fitment recommendations so I stayed stock. The silver shows gaps so much more than black so I chickened out haha. Nice ride!

The bottom has some scrapes nothing too bad though. I just angle slightly and reduce speed a little bit works out fine.

True haha. I have a little gap on the front between the grill and the hood but it's not that bad at all. Fitment worked pretty well. not perfect like you said but like 98%
