E30 Oem m3 sheet metal conversion

[E30_Pare]

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

sick.

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...

awesome

Thanks. I checked out your tire punishing E30 on TUNED. Congrats! That must have been a great accomplishment. Keep up the good work.

Well, Thanks to this thread it looks like when I have more money than sense, I will be buying M3 sheetmetal... Its the best option (for me anyway) because I love the look of the M3s, and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it. If I had a real E30 M3, I would be terrified I would be hit, or wreck it myself. Awesome build OP. Keep it up.

Thanks. The most challenging part of this build is finding all the parts! The actual mechanics, bodywork, paint, etc. of the build is not hard.

Need HELP finding M3 trunk hinges.

[jburnsbmw]

so those fenders are metal?

Yes, metal fenders.

[jburnsbmw]

This is going to be good. I have to ask, is the carphone staying? Myself, I find them to be one of the coolest things that one can have. I like them so much that I stuffed bluetooth guts in mine.

Yes car phone will be staying!
