Conversion to M3 - E90

[flairco]

hi bros. sorry newbie here. anyone tried the conversion for the E90 to M3 bodykit as offered by GC already? advice would be greatly appreciated!

depending what kinda M3 look you want. Real M3 look - will be changing the both front fenders flared up the rear fenders + other works on the suspension arms.

Fake M3 look - front bumper + rear bumper (rear bumper looks out of place as the moulded skirt is too fake, doesnt flow like the Original ones).

I do love the look of E90 M3, but i wouldnt want the M3 look on my E90, seems losing the identity. Why not stick to M-sport (if you not having one) which will enhance the extra value?

but that just me.

M Sports Package

Out of curiosity, what is the damage if I would like to upgrade to M Sports package on my E90, 323i - 2009 model?

AC Shnitzer........

Any shops in PJ or KL who is the dealer for AC Shnitzer upgrades?.............saw a 3 series in Bangkok when I was on a family holiday with AC Shnitzers.........oooooohhhhhhh............it's like sex on a plate....

thought of changing the kit like what GC motorsports offered on the forum. M tech is nice but M3 always my dream : ) even if i can't get it at least i replicate it! : )

when i can afford it in e next 3 years probably get a real one.

3.5k is gonna make ur car exactly as the vorsteinner one?

 

[flairco]

i have exactly no idea. that's why trying to seek some advice. the pic looks exactly like vorsteiner m3 pic as stated in the manufacturer's website.

perhaps will go visit and see for myself : ) best way liao. coz if the front headlamps still look like E90 after facelife, then it defeats the purpose of doing the M3 facelift

that pic is borrowed, you can tell from looking at the front & rear fenders alone - flared up alot.

there're some pics of the GC motorsport last seen fr local mag.

there're ppl on the E90post.com change the entire front end fr E90 to E92. 'magmd', he completed this conversion b4 the M3 was launched shortly after...

be prepared lots of doughs tho...:wink:

the E92 headlamps alone will cost you more than 3.5k......

a pair of E90 headlights cost Rm7-8k fr dealer. go figure..

ya, so its quite impossible it would look like the vor E90 M3 then..
but i know GC sells aftermarket headlights, who knows?

the last i heard the conversion to M3 would at least still cost ard 30k, and in addition, the rear wheel arch have to use ketuk somemore....

+ the resale value will go lower 20k than normal market value?

i think its good to read up this thread, you can figure out how it's done in the US, the proper way.
