E90 M to E90 non-M

constantin · 01-10-2011, 05:02 PM

Do you guys know what exterior M-parts swap over directly to the non Ms. Im talking about side skirts, bumper etc.....

A friend of mine wants to by my parts but needs to know if they fit.

Thanks for the advice.

they need modifications

JayKay335i · 01-10-2011, 06:09 PM

Yuhp. They all need to be modified.

constantin · 01-10-2011, 07:13 PM

Is it worth doing? Any idea what type of modification is needed. Does it need to be cut and re-fiberglasses?

Word of the day

But really, the e90 M is wider than his so they would all need to be different. Plus the e90 M has the coupe front.

Hold on a sec. An e90 M3? or are you asking about e90 Mtech parts? Mtech parts will fit just fine.

Lol. Sorry about the typos. iPhone keeps changing my spelling.

The parts are coming straight from an e90 M.

So you have an M3 sedan and your friend wants your body parts? How much is he paying you?

The M3 is wider so it's an all or nothing deal and you'll need to custom fit the rear and widen his fenders, which an experienced body shop should be able to do.

Generally speaking though it costs $15000 to do a full M3 conversion on the cheap, but this is actually the exact price difference between the two so you'll be paying thousands of dollars more to drive the 335i with an M3 body kit. On average it works out to the 335i with the M3 body kit costing $7000 more and that's without the suspension bits swapped over.

hey constantin, the only thing that can directly swap over is the trunk. your old skirts and oem front bumper won't fit without modification

I hate it when my damn iPhone does that! However to answer your question, very different.

Cheers!
