M3 front bumper/valance on non-m

[eurostyl e30]

Again, on the purity / elitist / who gives a crap discussion of M parts on non M cars... What does it matter???

Yeah seriously. There's only one person driving the car, and that's YOU :)


Excuse me while I go affix six M badges to my car.

Ahhh Haa Haa.

Efff the Jordans of this world. We all are in the hunt to make an E30 we can call 'our own creation' to set it apart. Have fun and do it. I think it would look great. I see a E30 on here with a Sport Evo rear wing, and it ain't a M from the factory, but it looks great. One of my 5 favorite non-M's.
Like someone else said, HUGE diff between slapping a ///M badge on a standard E30 vs. taking the time to make a M front airdam work. Without the badge it would take a trained eye to note the M3 airdam, generally most would just see it as a pimped E30 - and the source parts would be hard to identify.

I think it sounds like a great project. And the result will pimp the front of the car.

I don't care about about the whole ///M vs non-///M. Only way it would look good is to put the rear ///M bumper on as well, and shave the side/door moldings. I myself am kind of interested how that would look.

Let me know if you want a bumper to try it on. I'll sell it C-H-E-A-P.

Maybe he wants a bigger, better air dam, one that is more effective. Maybe he wants a different, more unique front end. Maybe he likes how it looks, who cares if it's not an M!

It will fit. The M3 has wider fenders where they flare out, but the front bumper / spoiler is flexible. You might have to fabricate some supports and brackets, but thats not rocket science. It might not look 100% perfect without a bunch of work, but it will look cool.

Theres a difference in sticking an M badge on a non M car and adding a few things to spice the non M car up. At least I think so...

Agreed. Not to mention it takes some skill to modify it to work. You're not just trying to be an M, you end up having the looks of an M.

it can fit, but it will require some work because the M3 fenders are wider. it's definitely been done before though.

will it work?

i know im probably gonna get alot of shit for this.
but i need to get a new front valance and bumper, I think it would look good even on a non-m.
