Making my 2013 335xi into a F80 M3 body build, using factory BMW parts.

Vitoco · 11-28-2014, 05:49 PM

Found more oil recently?

KGB_123_99 · 11-28-2014, 05:50 PM

Cool!

minien · 11-28-2014, 05:53 PM

Yes , I found some oil Close to Svinesund :-)

2blu · 11-28-2014, 06:28 PM

How much is this costing you ?

Buckeyes · 11-28-2014, 06:33 PM

Seems easier to just buy a M3

Professor///M · 11-28-2014, 06:40 PM

Going for the cop car look?! lol jk

Cyberdemon · 11-28-2014, 07:25 PM

Does the big "S" on the 335i picture mean the donor was a salvage car?

I guess if you have to replace half the body anyways from an accident might as well add some fender flares.

Labeef · 11-28-2014, 08:56 PM

Sweet man. Can't wait to see the finished product.

gds52 · 11-28-2014, 09:31 PM

Great work....can't wait to see the finished product.
Don't know why the hate.
Good luck !!!

andrew 330i · 11-28-2014, 09:35 PM

~ i'm looking forward to the end product...

also are those x5 rims?

Babo335 · 11-28-2014, 10:46 PM

Great project. I would love to see the final product.

cracing · 11-29-2014, 01:51 AM

keep it up good work! As long as you enjoy the process, who cares others say!

minien · 11-29-2014, 02:37 AM

We all have different opinions and it's good, I like and build on cars to make them better. It is also fun to build something that nobody else has done before, as far as I know there is nobody in the world who has done it yet.
The plan was when I bought the car to create an extreme 3 series with the motor and gear from x5m with 4wd, but we'll see what it turns into. Have built some cars eventually and they are worthy upgraded BMWs that surpasses their M brothers.

I like to build, therefore I do this:-)

And one more thing if I wanted on an original M3 then I had bought it, but I wanted a 4wd this winter and I like M3 appearance.

And if I wanted to drive an original car, so I take a trip in my e90 M3 or c63AMG ....

Tommy_hf · 11-29-2014, 07:11 AM

Nice project. Very valid point, 4WD and still the wide arches look.

You guys are trying to apply regular-person-thinking to some rich dude's hobby. These guys are in a different league when it comes to burning money. Don't even try to apply logic to this.

Prissy · 11-30-2014, 05:04 PM

Looks amazing!! Nice Work!

jon102034050 · 11-30-2014, 08:50 PM

Keep this thread up to date with pics, I'm stoked to see how it comes out! Love the idea of an AWD M3 lookalike.

smithf80 · 11-30-2014, 09:32 PM

In countries like Norway taxes are so high that its usually cheaper to build an M3 then to actually buy one.

I'm pretty sure atleast. There was a guy doing this with an E90 in a foreign country (foreign to the US) and he even did the motor. He said due to high taxes its a lot cheaper to do a conversion.
