Let's make an E30 M3! (M3 S14 cabrio clone project)

[yosh]

if thats the case, I guess this will be the easiest way for getting all the parts to make a vert m3. my guess is shipping would be a bit high from AUS.

Iron Joe, can you keep me in the loop as to whether you actually get your hands on the proper skirts and wings?

FYI - You will most likely NOT be able to buy the Cabrio front fenders or sideskirts.
BMW will require a copy of a valid current registration and copy of a drivers license for a vehicle originally outfitted with those parts before they ship them to the USA.

ECS will not be able to deliver. They just take the entire ETK catalogue and put it on their site with pricing. It doesn't mean they can actually source said parts.

All those parts look like they came from the same car. Jesus, did he hack apart an m3 for this project?

Think you may have missed that the original m3 was totaled :( RIP e30M3

Thanks to a generous and helpful forum member I now have a rear bumper! It needs a bit of work but it was really the last piece of the puzzle. I'm so excited :devil:

Oh snap! someone just got proved partially wrong!

Ooh, didn't mean it to come off that way. Just wanted folks to know they are available. I did not order these particular items from ECS, these were direct from BMW, but I have been able to get other "euro" parts from them without issue, like the quarter panels.

Badass, i will have to get them while I can, can you post when the fenders come in?

In a case like this, I'll happily be proven wrong.

Your dealer is doing something "right" to be able to make that work - but I suspect they'll get their hands slapped by corporate at some point. Take advantage while you can, and don't publicize their name. ;)
