Thanks! Yeah that's the issue I have if I choose to go M3 conversion, I won't cut any corners and go full in. Apart of me feels if I do the rep M3 hood and fenders, they won't be as aggressive looking as I'd hope. I can't seem to find any photos of either one coupled with the M Sport front bumper! I think the OEM M3 side skirts will do a lot to the aggressive look without looking mix matches. They're virtually the same as the M Sport sides just more exaggerated

I think the wide M3 fenders with the wagon OEM end look good actually as is.

Ok, I've thought long and hard and I know two inevitably facts: I will constantly be worried about what people think of me only having M3 style fenders and hood on my car. And I won't be satisfied with that and just the ESS for additional power. I've decided to go all in and start on the full M3 conversion. My plan will be body first (front end) since insurance will be covering hail damage, while keeping my eyes out for donor vehicles for parts swaps, retrofits and hopefully a good donor motor.
Bare with me on this journey. I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row and the right game plan before really jumping in but I think this is the only way I'll really be content.

Just an update. Decided to go ahead and go with the M3 swap. Current I'm in phase one with all the front end conversion parts headed to the shop. Also purchased the F30 335 brembo kit to convert front and rears. Was going to powder coat but people are scaring me about taking the brembos apart just need to figure out how to ensure i do it without screwing them up. Still trying to source the right M3 for interior and powder train swap. Also going to roll and pull the rears as much as my shop can and use the Msport bumper with this diffuser instead of rear quarters. At least initially we will see how I like it.
Front end should be done this month. I'm keeping it all Deep Sea Blue, hoping it all turns out the way I envision!

Yeah it's from Motivemods. DCT retrofit shifter kit. It's pricey but I think worth the upgrade. The stock one really dates the interior.

Last weekend I'm M-Sport, I will miss the looks really. I love the front end but the M3 overall is so much better. Can't wait to complete phase one. I will also be installing M3 OEM side skirts and shadowline trim with the front end conversion.
Paint correction to fix swirl city as well

I have a LCI E91 xdrive as well and I have a 245 35 19 square set up with 666m M4 competition pack wheels. I wanted to go wider in the rear like you did but had cold feet after reading a few threads. So my question to you is have you experienced any issues with the xdrive system, Speedo, transfer case, etc. with your setup? |

Are you doing a full M3 conversion (i.e. front and rear subframes, S65, 6MT/DCT, driveshaft, diff, etc,etc)?
