hi lads no this was prob asked loads of times before but i keep getting different answers.. i have an e92 coupe that needs all front parts. so i am in process of buying m3 bonnet wings and bumper. as i have to buy front parts anyways thought i would get the m3 stuff.. will these panels fit or not??

any help would be appreciated as the parts have to be got for car asap...

[m1bjr]

Can only think of one thing.

Why?

[caff]

cause i like the m3 bonnet and wings better. and i can get the m3 parts same colour as car.. wil it not work?

[m1bjr]

Maybe.

But will it look right with flared front arches and no flared rear arches?

No, it'll probably look shit.

IMO

Do it and post some pictures!

You can get an M3 badge from ebay and maybe add a Subaru style spoiler for the down force.

[caff]

only asked would it fit, not for smart comments..

[Walesy]

Was the M3 bonnet and wings not made slightly longer to prevent M3 replica's?

[briers]

I'm pretty sure some guy in somewhere like cyprus turned his 320i into an m3 look alike. So it must be possible.

[caff]

yes they are longer but when you have wings bonnet and bumper there supposed to fit but that just wat ive been hearing.. asked here to try get a real answer but some lads just want to leave smart comments instead..

its just i have to buy a front anyways, i wouldn do it if my car wasnt damaged..

[toxicnerve]

It was Egypt I think briers.

The thing is that was a serious conversion process. It looked almost like a chop shop!! As for the OP's question I have no idea. Trying giving Teddy at SSDD a call or M-Style (mixed reviews about M-Style though).

Sadly it seems with each passing day more and more E9x cars are falling into the hands of the typical "street" modders out there. No worries though, it will make my unmolested E92 look better against all the badly modified ones!!

[G-10]

If you change the full front end the m3 parts will fit. You may need to change the bumper bar as these are different on the m3. The slam panels should be the same on all e92's. The Genuine m3 side skirts will not fit as the rear arch's are wider.

[Vaheed1]

If I was you, I would just turn it into an Autovogue look...if you don't fancy an M sport look...It would probably be an easier solution and a better one. You wouldn't want M3 badges with a rattling diesel unit underneath..would you?

Please don't. There's enough Chaved up BMW's on our roads.

Easy guys, he's new to the forum, and I'd like to see how he gets on and how the finished article looks.

I think you're getting pretty decent advice here you know, the wings of an M3 are flared, so they are wider than normal and if you haven't got the parts on at the back of the car then you're car will look odd.

Odd to the point where anybody that would recognise it as an M3 would a second later know it to be a half done replica. Course you could have the backs done too but thats not a bolt on bolt off job, it'll take ages and cost loads.

Just think about it, you don't want to end up with a car that you know looks a little bit odd and then you're having to either pay money to fix it or you're getting rid of it for cheap, modded cars generally do not carry a premium.

Anyhow your money your choice, have a look at the cyprus replica thread, looked like a LOT of work to get that looking proper!

[m1bjr]

So, what happened to the front of your 320d then?

[jimmylimmy]

my guess is that it collided with something

[zltm089]

yeah, go easy on him guys....

you should have a look at other aftermarket fronts....

Vorsteiner does some nice ones!!!...and i bet it will be perfect fitment!...

Hamann, AC Schitnzer, etc...
