E92, Fitting M3 Style Front Wings To 325 Coupe

Hi, I am new to the forum having only had a BM for around 2 months. I was just wanting some advice.

I have purchased two M3 style wings, which are supposed to fit straight onto an M Sport Coupe, and I was just wondering if anybody else had done this, or something similar. They came supplied with a new screen wash bottle so I am assuming there is more to it than just swapping the panels.

I have a late 2010 325d M Sport Coupe, which has the white style angel lights and LED side indicators, so I'm hoping the M3 style repeaters will plug straight in without me needing to alter the voltage etc.

My reasons for doing this, is not to try and create an M3 replica, I just think the front fender style wings look so much cooler than the regular ones. My idea is to get regular M badges rather than the M3 badges that are fitted to the fenders as standard.

Any advice you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated =)

Thanks!

Yes, you will like the M3 style on your car, it breaks the line which nicely at the fenders, not to mention the LED side signal lamps.

Here's mine installed with the //M badge i/o M3.

The fenders can be had from JGMods (forum sponsor) PM Jay for forum pricing:

I got my M3 rep fenders from Jay @ JGMods - I would never buy rep parts from any other vendor - he has proven time & time again that his rep parts have perfect fitment.

They are PnP as long as you use the side marker gils/lights that come with the fenders. I opted to use OEM sidemarkers in the Black Chrome with 24SMD LED lights. The sidemarkers that come with the fenders are aftermarket & chrome - they are wired with an adapter to plug directly in to your existing sidemarker harness.

The OEM's I got have no such adapter - so you need to switch out the connectors on the end of your existing sidemarker harness with the M3 specific connectors/pins, very EZ...

I have his MTech Rep Rear Bumper, M3 Rep Side Skirts, & the M3 Rep Fenders.

The rear bumper was installed by my BMW dealer - they didn't even know it was a rep till I told them - they stated it fit perfectly as OEM

If you mean the adapter harness that comes with the fender lights - the wire adapter is not a separate piece - it is hard wired & siliconed in to the aftermarket M3 sidemarker lights that come with the fenders.

If you mean the OEM connectors/pins that you need to convert our sidemarker light harness to work with M3 sidemarkers - I'll have to look back in my order records to see what I got. But as I stated, it's not a pre-made harness. You will have to cut off your existing connector, crimp the new terminals to the wires & insert into the new connectors...
