The conversion looks really good!

You should get yourself some dual slat kidney grills and consider a different hood. Following those you'll need a bbk set up to fill those rims.

Looks pretty close either way, congrats!

Thanks, well i just sold this one as it is on the picture, already bought another one exactly same only Black with Red leather with same damage, going to do the same thing and add M3 mirrors and for sure do dual kidneys, will thinkg about hood yet as their kind of expensive

Yeah sure, that lip came with the bumper that i got, i believe it was custom made for that bumper as the bumper is not as wide as M3 one

Good for you man! Yeah it all comes down to budget.

The proper hood helps to achieve the F80 proportions right.

Looks fab either way man! Look forward to seeing your next project.

It's amazing how bad the base F30 looks in white vs. how amazing the M Sport F30 and F80 look in white. Fantastic work!

These were original M4 wheels which i believe were - - Front 9x19 (ET29)
Rear 10x19 (ET40), Style 437M and tires were Front 255/35/19 Rear 275/35/19
