arent the M3 fenders a different height/length than the sedan/touring fenders?

metal massager · 10-31-2012, 10:42 AM

They are in fact, and the impact strip is at different height and angle. Marriage of sedan fender with ///m fender is required, but Imo, much easier and better than trying to bond aluminum and steel. My goal was to have a car that looked like a bone stock ///M3t. (Obviously, they only built one as a concept, and I in no way say that it is such....its just a 325it with an ///M body)(no ///M logos anywhere.......except the dead pedal.....I couldn't resist....haha)

Thats interesting, any more info or pics on the process

Yup, I will be starting thread soon, but jeppej has a thread on his conversion http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...pej+conversion and I got most of my precesses from there. My thread will basically show what I did differently from him, and why.

I often like to come back here and take a look at the progression, absolutely fantabolous

since one can simply not stop modifying cars, what are you doing next?

simsima325 · 01-10-2013, 04:23 PM

Stu is retrofitting the latest Comfort Access and push button start to the Touring

330i ZHP · 01-10-2013, 04:30 PM

not much on the wagon - focusing on the X5 these days

2012 X5M
KWv3
Eisennman race rear muffler
Ar-Design (or Akrapovic) down pipes
BMW Performance CF front splitter
painted reflectors
body color grills
switching to 2013 spec LED adaptive headlights
Carbon leather interior trim
V1 install
tinted windows
wheel stud conversion
(trying to decide which wheels I want - leaning towards HRE 940RL 22x10 front and 22x12 rear- three piece - Two Tone Finish - Brushed Face with Polished Windows and Clear Coat w/Polished/Clear barrels)
