I guess people that have done the muffle delete are going to get their ass crushed.

crumple zones..wow lol..i bet you consult your wife before changing clothes...could to be too dangerous for one person....anyways cant wait to see when its finished.

+10 or 9K towards performance output, suspension and shoes.

At the end of the day it what makes your friend happy

Turbo Squid · 10-27-2009, 12:27 PM

I don't get why people have a problem with this.

As long as it's not badged as an M3, what does it matter if it just has the body panels?

BMWjames · 11-20-2009, 07:36 PM

any updated pics?

tooshay · 11-21-2009, 04:26 AM

that's a lot of work and money there. why don't you just buy the m3? once you finish, the cost would be like buying an m3, don't you think?

JHFW89225 · 11-21-2009, 07:09 AM

i wonder how much a M3 cost in his country? I know in some places it make more sense to make a m3 conversion than buying an M3. Chances are 80% of the people out there don't even need or can handle 100% of what an M3 have to offer. Price is another issue too, in Hong Kong a M3 is around $160,000 where as a 335i is around $80,000. Not to mention tax and running costs. For those who love the look of an M3 but can live with lesser in order area, i'd say a conversion is ideal.

let the man do what he wants jeez if he has the money and time he can do whatever he wants to his own car.
