Ignore the crap CF lip, it was an experiment that is no longer there:

What do you mean by it fits perfect? That fitment is horrible from the picture, left front is lifted and so is the right- the driver side.

Have you fixed this?

Yeah, I sure did. Just needed to screw in the outer rings that hold the hood down.

I dont want to insist, but can you please answer my question about the F80 front bumper? It real baffles me that the wide of the bumper fits perfect to the standard F30 fenders. That wont work on a F32 I suppose...

Its actually not the oem f80bumper, it is designed for the f30 so it doesnt have that aggressive wide fender. Also the f30 and f80 headlights & grills are different.

Ah ok, so thats kinda retrofit. TY.

why are you putting M3 body parts on a 320 or even a 33, jsut buy an M3 or M4 😷

Dr Thrillride · 11-12-2016, 01:23 PM

Give him the money for an M3 including what he loses on his ride in trade....I know you're joking and it's tongue-in-cheek, but it gets old

Making your 3 or 4 look exactly like an F80 is tacky AF.

Fake it till you make it I guess...

the cost to own an m3/4 in other countries is a lot more than here in the states. body work costs are cheaper and people want to mod their cars.. THEIR Cars. i think the quality of work alone from the guy in Jakarta is awesome.

cryptocar has a CF hood, his is pretty sick. also has the matching CSL trunk

Gooleung · 11-30-2016, 10:13 AM

M3 style steel hood is another option.

If other drivers at the dealership think it's an M3, I'd say I made it

Kossos · 12-01-2016, 03:26 PM

Not denying the level of effort or knocking anyone wanting to mod THEIR car. Hell, I've already spent thousands on parts modding my own M4 and plan on doing more.

It's just tacky as hell to me that someone would go to this much effort to make their BMW look like, well, another more expensive BMW. My personal preference is originality and not imitation, but that's just my humble opinion and everyone is free to do what they want to their rides.

If you can get your exhaust to sound as shitty as a real M4 then nobody would ever know

I've been looking for one that is not carbon fiber , any links?

Gooleung · 12-01-2016, 08:18 PM

Here you go. They are from taiwan and webisite is in chinese but i guess you can use chrome to have it translated. Also check out their other parts as well as you may find some unique products there.

The Japanese are out of their minds if they think I'd ever pay this much for a hood!

Gooleung · 12-02-2016, 12:05 AM

How much did they quote you? I think 650usd for a decent metal hood is not too much to ask?

I was only poking fun at the fact I can't read Japanese. I have no earthly clue how much the actual hood is. Lol
