E30 Oem m3 sheet metal conversion

[reelizmpro]

Saw this on ebay...



I think if the front valance was smoothed out the sidemarkers completely shaved...it may look alright but the facelift front end just doesn't match the M3 rear bumper at all. Initially, I didn't even notice the M3 fenders/rear bumper on this car...

sick.

Reelizmpro,
I agree with you on shaving the side markers but don't know quite what you mean by smoothing out? I have already removed the chip guard and primed the front valance if that's what you meant. I plan to fabricate the rear bumper by removing the lower splitter/diffuser( not sure what you would call it). you can see the difference in the pictures. Photoshopped! ( not the best). Also I will not have a exhaust cut out, it will be side exit exhaust. I think making some of these changes will create a more sleek look.
Open to some more suggestions! Thanks.


stock w/o exhaust cut out.

Diffuser delete.

Saw the first 5 pictures and thought "here goes another hack/vlad job". 6th picture changed my mind to guy's srs bsns... Looking forward to this, it will be epic.

Thats pretty cool. I have to say, thats one of the cleanest stock engine bays I've ever seen.

Need help locating some E30 M3 parts.
- Trunk lid
- Trunk lid hinges
- Side skirts
and a bunch of miscellaneous.

Please contact me if you or someone you know may have E30 M3 parts laying around.

I have been contemplating buying fiberglass but wanted to see if I could get some OEM parts.

Thanks
Joe

you could see about getting some directly from BMW. But youll pay more but hey your parts will be perfect condition.

I think there was a white car on here that did just this, with a m3 fenders, side skirts and rear bumper.

There's been a couple like that. Most of em have reiger lips.

I believe Levent at Guten Parts had an E30 M3 front bumper recently...

*Updates
-Picked up a stock OEM front bumper
-Received the rear bumper and C-pillar
-RH outer wheelhouse welded on.
Lots of test fitting
Just waiting on trunk lid so I can finally weld the quarters.






Sprayed the block. I'm happy with the color

How's the fitment and overall quality of that fiberglass c-pillar?

Holy bat crap ! Super cool build. I love the M3 conversion.

The quality is good but the fitment not so much.
I will get it to work, it just sits a little high.

Glad to hear its usable! It's unfortunate BMW won't make more of those panels.

Got the trunk in thanks to M3and2002!
Lots of welding, gluing, and praying ahead of me!
