F32 435i time for the M4 look
Hi guys,
New to the forum, and I already know I'll get some hate for going after an M4 Conversion. I recently got Stage II done to my 435i, and already kicked some X5 M ass, as well as held up very much at par with a X4M Competition, so to say the least I'm very happy with acceleration and how the N55 took the mods. This being said the cars looks too basic - I think this is probably the only 435i I've seen that does not have the M-sports look (it's a plain vanilla Sports 435i), and I need to get that reworked. I've been trying to figure out what's the best way to go forward with a conversion to an M4 look and to my surprise, forums are very low on info. I previously owned a 370z and the nissan forums were full of info on how to get the nismo view, and info on other recommended bumpers, kits, etc. So my questions is, can you recommend any brands that sell the whole thing (a whole M4 conversion body kit). I don't want to get the parts one by one from shady ebay / alibaba guys, but just order the whole thing, give it to a good shop and get it done. I came across to only a few credible companies - this one stood out - https://www.gb-tuning.de/Sport-Techn...13-17-nicht-M4 Looks like the guys offer the whole package, it's ABS (not some fiber-dura-flex bs) and it has a sweet discount. The downside is I can't get much info on the company. Any thoughts? Anyone heard anything about GB Tuning? Other brands you would recommend? Thanks |

you wanna do an m4 body conversion because you're stage 2? what year is your car? what mods?
yeah, it's heavily frowned upon in the bmw community. if you decide to do this, do not put an m badge on the car. I think its hilariously bad taste and I would make fun of you relentlessly if I could.. etc good luck with the conversion.

Here's a guy that did a part of it. If I had a 4 series I'd do the same but only because I want xdrive not just RWD. Also I'm not a fan of the beaver front end. I'm sure they would be able to explain what works and what doesn't. They went all oem though so OEM fenders, OEM hood, OEM front bumper. Your headlights are the same. Adapters will allow you to mount 380mm stock m3/m4 rotors all around.

There's limited info on it because most people don't have a very fond opinion on M3/M4 body kits on non-M cars. Is there a specific reason you want an M4 kit instead of an M sport kit, or even some parts that compliment the bumpers/body work you already have? Maybe we can steer you in a "better" direction considering you're new and what not.

I'm pretty sure M4 oem parts are not simple plug and play onto a F32. As far as M4 replica kits for the f32 go, Kies Morotorsports sells one made by PhaseOne. They guarantee fitment. https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/coll...der-conversion
However like most people on this forum you should consider a M-Sport kit. Its a huge upgrade to the stock look, and you'll find way more aftermarket parts to fit. You might regret the M4 conversion as it tends to give of major "poser" vibes. but as always Its your car do whatever makes you happy! |

Note thats not a full M conversion you have linked. Thats a m-look kit designed for non m cars.
Full M cars are wider and require cutting out the oem rear fenders and welding on M car fenders.
