What is More respectable: e92 335i coupe to m3 or 335is conversion (aesthetically only) ?

m3 conversionn pros/cons:
i like the look of the m3 more but obviously theres a lot more involved as far as $ and it will never be perfect. is it ok to go incremental annd just start w front bummper annd sides and keep mtecch reaar for awhile or should it bbe al out or nothing at all?
whats the cheapest wa to get the m3 quad pipe exhaust tips? does anyone just sell tips?
cheapest way to get rear fender? does anyone sell m3 rear bumper w/o te rear fender flare?
should i just debadge the car if i do the m3 conversion?

335is pros/cons:
the 335 conversion is is a lot easier/less money/less body panels and still a nice look but perhaps doesnt get the same wow factor. some would argue it is a similar look though. for this, i would just get the mtech front bumper, mtech rear bumper + oem diffuser kit for is look, and mtech side skirts

thanks,
Brian

Dom: [laughing] Respect?
Brian: To some people, that's more important

Disrespeck my whole Famiry! man that movie was racist. Every sterotype possible.

In my opinion dont do either. Make it your own custom setup. The M3 will only make M3 croud angry which is real easy to do, the S will make the guys who bought those mad. Make it your own creation and they cant bitch becuase you are a wanna be M owner.

I will end up with the Mtech bumper, M3 rep hood, same trunk, and just a quad diffuser, dont know about skirts yet. I wanted to have my car wrapped or painted its is the Platinum color, but after seeing the other Platinum done up.

alot of people go 335is route by adding the m-tech bumpers. That's what I did since my car doesnt have m sport

Respectable?

Get what you think looks better and don't worry about what others think.
