UPDATE: 10/17/15 Custom wide body rear done!

UPDATE: Back to Vorsteiner VFF 103 19" - Pics on the 3nd page!

Got a M3 style rear bumper, so I had to come up with a solution to fit the exhaust gaps. We took two Akrapovic systems, cut them apart and made them fit as there is no off the shelf solution for quad diesel exhausts.

Right a couple of things are missing like the F80 mirrors and fenders. Got the front fenders already, but will look 'half assed' without the mirrors and welding the rear body part to have the wide body look, like the real M3.

Current Mods:

Vorsteiner VFF 103 - previously ADV.1 ADV05MV2SL 20"
Vredestein Tires
Bilstein B12 Coil Overs
Eibach Springs
M3 Front Fender
M3 Widebody Rear
M3 Style Bodykit
Custom Akrapovic Quad Exhaust
ECU-Tuning
Black Mirrors
Black M3 Style Kidney Grill
Carbon Fibre Front Lip
Carbon Fibre Side Skirt Extensions
Carbon Fibre Trunk Spoiler
Fog lights removed
Glossy black roof
60% 3M window tint
M3 Style Mirrors

Missing Mods:

M-Performance or Brembo Breaks

The exhaust sound is nothing to speak of, which I am happy about as the car is a Diesel. Anyway, here are the pics..

Nice!! Can't go wrong here

Moony · 06-22-2015, 04:16 PM

this is magnificent! Are you going to eventually go on and do a full f80 conversion?

963mw · 06-22-2015, 04:20 PM

I just realized the fog lights are installed behind the grilles, how is that possible?

That was the idea, but with every project there are slight changes or bumps in the road. One of the major obstacles is the missing wide body rear part. Even with the m3 style mirrors and the m3 front fender it would still not be 100% the m3 optic without welding the rear parts.

For now I think i'll leave it the way it is, besides adding a pair of Brembo's or M-Performance breaks. Too much wheel, too little break right now

All kidding aside, will ask my Tuner for the details.

All parts are from my local tuning shop. No online store, sorry.

435iDriver · 06-25-2015, 12:27 PM

this are never any kind of original akrapovic exhaust tips

M3CRUZN · 06-25-2015, 02:44 PM

This is exactly what I have in mind for my F30....tryin to order from RW .....thanks for sharing...what a transformation....wondering what lip will fit on those m3 rep bumpers since it's probably not the same size as the oem m3 bumper

jp0202 · 06-25-2015, 02:55 PM

What a beauty, well done!

supremepower · 06-25-2015, 04:49 PM

... and you know that how? Because it's Bangkok?

Not all the Girls here Girls are either.. but I can assure you it's an original part.

No one buys a car for $100k, wheels for 10k, and than 4x$2 Replica Exhaust Tips.

Bedista · 06-25-2015, 09:49 PM

nicely done!

Thanks! Adding the F80 mirrors as well as the M3 front fenders this week. Will have to weld the rear fender and put on some spacers to get the real M3 look.

Then it's done for now... for now

knightsabers · 07-02-2015, 08:20 AM

Looks Great! Maybe add a power dome hood next ? I would recommend the rear wheel arches as well, saw a set available on TC Concepts. http://shop.tc-concepts.de/deu_48/Ra...ng_BMW_F30_F31
