E30 M3 Sedan Build : The Car That Never Was
Cool build! Best of luck. If you want to see a thread that has a full teardown of an M3 and rebuild, my build thread might be helpful. There are a few others around as wellLast edited by CurrusDei; 10-17-2016, 02:27 PM.

So the front body panels came in today.
Still waiting on the rear, but the bumpers and side skirts should be here next week.1985 325e Sedan, 1986 325e Sedan, 2006 BMW X5, 2012 M3 Sedan, 2013 135is, 2017 M3 Sedan ZCP Competition

Not true, they did in fact make them in sedans and also without the mtech2 kits as most are. One recently sold in your backyard for a pretty decent price, but wasnt CA legal unfortunately

I won't be there this Sunday, I actually have to drive up to Stockton to pick up the trunk lid and wing. But I should be in the future if you are in the area.1985 325e Sedan, 1986 325e Sedan, 2006 BMW X5, 2012 M3 Sedan, 2013 135is, 2017 M3 Sedan ZCP Competition

Like I said earlier, some things are NLA, so we're going to graph a few cars and fabricate the missing pieces.
Originally posted by Replicam3cabrio View PostSounds like a great project, just make sure you do it using OEM parts, and and do not cut any corner, it can get very expensive I built a convertible back in 2002, it was great, now I am building a 320IS tribute.
Good luck and keep us posted1985 325e Sedan, 1986 325e Sedan, 2006 BMW X5, 2012 M3 Sedan, 2013 135is, 2017 M3 Sedan ZCP Competition
