Every version of that car looked amazing. Great job. Had you made a fake E30, E46 or E92 I mighta cringed, but the F80s are less M than those so I can deal.

Is it just me but I count 3 different color cars in the photos. Did the OP change the color multiple times? I don't quite follow the progression of the conversion.
EDIT: nvm, found his YouTube video. For what it's worth, the car looks good.

OP love what you have done. Growing up in Pakistan, I can totally relate why you have done this. Import duties there are 3-5x of the MSRP so it is impossible to purchase these cars. You would have to be crazy stupid rich to afford such cars.
The only thing I disagree with is the M3 badge. I would recommend sticking with the 318i badge.

I am as "under the radar" as you get. I dont view cars as status symbols, nor do I try to impress anybody with what i have. Also, I am about everybody doing what they want as well, and I completely understand this guy in another country with different tax regimes, etc., and how that all works. I work globally, and see it all the time. I personally would never make a car into something it is not. That is how I see this. The OP is not right or wrong, and he did do a fantastic job on that 3er. Just not my bag, baby.

In my opinion it would've been better to get a 320i+ with m sport package. because the 318i is just not worth this enormous amount of mods, i know in turkey these cars are expensive, its the same in israel. a base 318i costs 62k$ brand new, and insurance on a 318i for a young driver like myself is no less than 4-5k$ a year. i have a 318i and honestly these cars are not worth getting major mods done to because at the end of the day it is a 318i nonetheless gotta respect the effort you put in this conversion, good job

yes, vanity is for losers. all those people trying to impress other people by trying to look cool in their pics, their instagram, bragging about their money and cars, and showing expensive things and all, while compensating for their empty souls. I get you my humble friend richyrich

I really like the time and effort he put in his car. This guy have some taste and I can only imagine the car he´d have with this budget if he lived in the states. I can testify that he has more taste than a lot of real M3 owners I´ve seen in LA. nevertheless I wouldn´t really encourage putting an M3 badge on a 318i, specially knowing that a lot of people in the street will be misleaded to think it is a real M3 and that is not cool. I know this car without an M badge would still look cool and it would be way more honest and real. still, to each his own. I can only imagine all the explaining and awkward moments he could avoid just by taking the M off.
