Wow. I mean it looks very nice, but I think you could've found much better ways to use that money. Bravo on the work, but honestly just a waste. JMO

Get that m badge outta here. Gotta love people who will do anything to make their cars look like what it isn't. Ridiculous.

Eh. Looks like a waste of time if it still drives like a 136hp F30.

Nice work, I like the frozen bronze wrap. Having been to Turkey I can understand the cost.... bit like Singapore. Watched some of the video and sounds like $300k for the car plus $5k pa tax to own an M3.
Congrats on the hard work. Each to their own, I'm sure you'll get some negative comments. Looks good to me.

Stop hating guys. Let the man live his life. Looks amazing but I agree that with all that money you've spent you could own an M3. Amazing work and dedication though.

Why convert it to look like an M3? It's nice but must have cost a lot of time and money to do so. Is a real M3 that much more expensive when you figure the cost of all the mods?

I'd respect this project if the car was debadged. It's not an M3.
I another noted, is the effort justified versus buying a 335/340 instead?

Haters have to understand the back story, he can afford a real M3 but taxes, price an renewal fees for an M3 are ridiculous in his country.
It's the equivalent of paying close to 200k for a M3 in the US. It's a project car like any other, slap some body parts and that's all. Plus with his IG followers and YouTube channel I'm sure he's not paying much parts anymore. |

When will US guys understand that sometimes in other countries you have something called tax.
And everything above 2.0l engines are taxed like crazy. In a lot of EU countries you have like 0.5% tax on import of vehicle if its 2.0 or below. When its 335i or something with similar engine you already come on 30% + tax of value of new car. That means on 80k€ car something like 25k€ tax + about 2000€ added yearly cost. If someone likes M3 look and doesnt track their car or has roads available to really enjoy their car then its not such a dumb idea to do the conversion. Also you have countries like Singapur where Taxes are even crazier. AND dont forget fuel prices. When you will pay 100$ for a single tank of petrol then maybe you will get the idea why some people do this. OP nice work! Love to see a project where its done like it should be. Not just a single bumper swap. |

The M3 is basically a 3 series with larger fenders visually. Slap a LS and that's a wrap. Can't wait to get my f80 conversion done. Mine has a few surprises but larger fenders for sure. |

Looks beautiful, but like many others have said you should take the badge off. I get why you did it and the work done is amazing but with the m3 badge, it just makes you a poser. I'm all for nodding cars and doing extreme mods like this is awesome but why do you need to call it something it's not.

There's zero point to turning a lawn mower into an M body, other than because you want others to think you have an M. Might as well just burn the cash. |
