M3 body panels

[Matto]

Is it possible to use the M3 fenders on a 325i withou replacing every other panel on the car? I probably need at least the door panels. I was wondering if i t would be an easy swap to get some more clearance for some wider rubber, or should I just pull the fenders?

I'd say the easiest thing to do is pull the fenders. I'm not sure if you can use just the fenders off an M3, but I doubt it. If I recall correctly, the M3 has 14 different body panels/pieces than a non-M e30.

Just roll/pull your current ones.

I believe the doors are the same but the bumpers would need to be changed or midified, and although the front fenders are bolt on the rear ones would have to be cut and welded.

dont forget the doors have no rubbing strip tho.

Doors are not the same.

If i'm not mistaken only the hood and the sunroof are the same. I think this has been covered before as well.

Front fenders will bolt on, rears will have to be grafted. Doors are different (molding). The rear valance/license plate sheet metal area is the same for M3's and pre-88 non-M's.

Why do you think you need to clear larger rubber? You can stuff 225's under stock fenderwells in a non-M, how much tire do you think you need? For the car in your sig, you won't need more than a 205 or maybe 225.

Seriously, you've got all of two mods that do close to nothing for your power. Don't worry about huge rubber.

Aah, but some are body color and some are not. Grasshoppa. :)

Yeah, I have almost no mods now. I am trying to figure out what to do down the line. I thinhk I'll stick with pulling fenders, way less complicated.
