Its only the front that is using the original GC rear. M4 is Coupe, GC is 4 door. there is no way the Fender Rear fenders can fit the GC. Please correct me if I am wrong.

It will need some custom job WHIC is a pain in the arse! It has been almost 1 month we are working on mine, as custom.. Its about to finish these days..

DEtails: in my signature!












Very cool job and I'd go for the rear fenders for sure! ( I did already indeed )

And it would be unique! And;

Yea bro you are absolutely correct. You need to custom build the rear fenders. M4 rear fenders will never fit. That is always what I meant

Wow, nice work!

I'm really curious what the benefit of converting a 435 GC over just a 335 would be. Come to think of it I'm not even sure why the two models exist... Is the 435 GC bigger/longer than the 335?

Nice work, definitely unique, I'm sure you'll love it.

Reinforcements the fact that BMW should actually make a M4GC. Would be fantastic.

Be proud of what you've accomplished, just don't be a poser and put/keep "M" badges on the car.

Well done.

I don't understand why? If you want 4-door, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy M3? This will never be an M car, nor it will be nearly as good as one. No more warranty, the resale value is practically 0.

Don't even get me started on putting there an M badge ...

Interesting idea. Although, I'll never quite understand the appeal of converting a non-M to a fake M. I have to imagine it would be cheaper to just buy a used M3 at some point. Sure, it's not a Gran Coupe, but who cares? It's a proper M car...

because time and time again people like you assume cars cost what they do in the US outside the US. that is not the case. M cars become super expensive in other countries and sometimes labor is cheap to do these conversions. i like the idea of an m4 style gran coupe. the look of an m4 with a rear hatch. works for me!

There is no M4 gran coupe! Thats why he is making it. I think its super cool! Too bad he could not grab a wrecked M3 and transfer interior parts and drivetrain and make it a full M car. The bodywork will look awesome anyways.
