Emmm....

Really intresting...

E36 to E46 Conversion kit sold in UK btw...

but, most important is how much are you wiling to spend?

Tired of listening to ppl that want to change this and that but end up woth no money.

what u are asking is not impossible.
go to www.ebay.co.uk and search under e46 m3. there is some dude selling instructions on how he converted and is selling 2 cars, which look superbly identical to an e46 m3. look at the photos of the car and you won't believe the illusion. first class.
exterior looks identical to an e46 m3 but interior dashboard gives the car away as an e36.
wonderful transformation.

[hitman]

go to www.ebay.co.uk
search for "e46 m3 how to"

I saw one silver E36 with the E46 M3 front bumper at traffic light near Eastin hotel. Looks good in magazine but don't look right in person.

For me it will looks good if the bumper is coupled with an e46 front bonnet. Without full conversion its just not deliver the look.
