BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi Folks

I'm pretty much done with my LCI, it came to here,

1st Step:







Final Outcome:









Came here from a no line car



You may see all the details in of interior & exterior mods: CLICK 2016 F30 LCI - PROJECT Thread

Now its pretty done I guess Since its a brand new, 3 months old car, I will not sell it & change it. Hımmm I think I'm going to CHANGE it instead!

---------------------------------------------------

I have done 2 other projects in the past;
* 2006 Audi S3 Sportback ===> 2013 RS3 ( w/widebody rear )

From here;




To there;








* And Insignia ( Buick for USA ) OPC Sports Tourer

From here;



To There;





------------------


NOW - Time for the M3 conversion



Please save your words "Why not buy an M3", the answer is; my LCI worths 49K US$ and an M3 worths 199K US$.. So this is why I do not JUST buy an m3, I can not do it!

Since we clear that, these are the;

PARTS & MODS LIST:

1-) OEM M3 front bumper
2-) OEM M3 rear bumper
3-) OEM M3 front fenders
4-) OEM M3 fender vents - BOUGHT
5-) OEM M3 trunk spoiler - BOUGHT
6-) OEM M3 hood
7-) M3 rear calipers & rotors
8-) M3 370mm rotors ( not an essence right now )
9-) OEM M3 chrome grill - BOUGHT
10-) OEM M3 side skirts - BOUGHT
11-) OEM M3 front fender grilles - BOUGHT
12-) Akrapovic tips
13-) M sport / M3 seats ( both will be okay for me )
14-) window tints
15-) OEM M3 shifter
16-) Rear fenders: I'm not sure if I should buy the quarter and mold it and ruin the rear quarter of a brand new car? I may do only the fender mod like I have done on my RS3 conversion, flowing with the M3 bumper. So in that case, there will be only local paint job on the rear fenders, not the whole quarters!
17-) OEM M3 left mirror - ( hurt! so expensive! ) - BOUGHT
18-) Today I noticed that I will need the M3 headlights I : confused2

I have a few questions, I'd be very glad if some gurus can answer;

1-) The hood job, I remember an F31 has done it, with some mods but I could not find the post. If OP would anser me, i'll be very appreciate

2-) Do I really need the headlight of F80? Or I can only modify the OEM from bumper to fit my own F30 leds? As far as I know, the hood and bumpers will be a direct fit, so in that case, the bumper could not be modified for the curent headlight set?

3-) Do I have to change the rear doors? AS far as I can see, I do not have to but, I do not want a last minute call!

4-) If I really have to change the LCI Led headlights into F80 leds; will it work only by coding?

5-) Will the M3 mirror electrical controls & heating will work directly? Dante made this mod, I'm expecting help I do not PM him since I want that topic will be a guide and share all the problems & solutions in public

I'm also inviting 325MBKK & minien


I'm very welcome or any helps, taughts, suggestions, criticisms, even tiny one in order to make this project successfull

Please chime in and give your opinions & knowledges!

Cheers
