Also the guy who originally make the post did the same mistake as me I later found a great solution to the issue. Also it can be done without any welding, BMW provide a great super glue for metal work, and its alot more preferable, durable and easy to work than the welding ! !
Hey man I'm thinking about trying this and would definitely like more information! Are you saying you can use OEM F80 fenders on the F30 and they will fit?

Yes, As long as you have F32/33/36/80/82/83 headlights, If you dont like the M3 bumper like me, you can use the standard F30 front fender console, and just push the fender a bit. Visually it look very wide, but its 1-1.3 cm at the fender/bumper attach point. So you can slightly push it there. And then you can attach it to the stock console. If you do like M3 bumper you have to buy different fender console. 41358060241, and 41358060242.

Other very good way to do it is to buy a F32 fenders and cut them in half, then use the special tool


With this you have to make the overlap of the 2 fender parts, and use a BMW panel bond glue. This is the best way instead of using welding

So essentially you could just buy OEM F80 fenders, F80 headlights, and and F80 bumper and it will all just bolt on?

YES, headlights will need additional wiring to work properly. The author of the post did not share info about that. I just hide the vertical aim error, coz my lights, are not adaptive anyway. We were not able to code them properly because i don't have the wiring diagram. If you have it, its not a hard task to put this extra signal lines and code it.

Without this wiring they work as normal xenon lights, all DRL lights running perfectly, turn signal too. Only issue is from Vertical aim control.

If you want to use M3 bumper you will also need fender / bumper console
41358060241
41358060242

Bumper, fender and front wheel housing are both attached to this console

And wheel housing:

51718054278

51718054279
51718054280

will F80 Fender fit original M performance side threshold moldings, coz I don't know which way to go m3 f80 moldings could be a solution but idk if that would look clean tho.
Currently i'm thinkin' about
F80 Custom headlights
F32 M performance bumper, custom LIP
F80 Side fenders
F80 Mirror caps in carbon (which is like 100euros lol)
F30 side threshold moldings
F30 rear M Performance bumper with a custom difuser
also for the rear of car i'll try to expand rear arches by heating and a rolling tool to make it a little more muscular and also look more aesthetic overall
