Black Saphire Metallic......m3?

LM1026 · 08-13-2013, 12:45 AM

another non-m e92 to m front end conversion + custom m3 rear bumper. all oem parts. please save the "just buy an m3" comments. the conversion was done at a competitive price relative to buying a $70k car.

Looks nice

I never cared if people do the M conversion. That looks really nice! Well done!

But did you really put a M badge?

Alen E90 · 08-13-2013, 02:15 AM

WOW, your conversion came out really nice and clean...honestly if it wasn't for the mirrors i wouldn't have even ever thought that this was a conversion-that's literally how PERFECT of a job you did!

thanks for sharing!

Nice

. You can't do much cosmetic modification to M3. For stock E92 you have already changed bumpers fenders etc, so thats a lot of modding. With real M3, you would only have stock M3.

Talking about conversion, when are you going to post pictures of your E90.2? I want to see.

SaMaster14 · 08-13-2013, 03:57 AM

conversion looks good... but I would remove the M badges and stuff.

I guess some people don't care (and others do it out of insecurity - not necessarily pointed at the OP), I'm proud of my car, and don't want it to be an M3... and I would feel weird driving it with M3 badges and having people think that I'm driving something that I don't own.

I really don't understand why some people want their car to be something it isn't. If you can't afford an M3 at this point, enjoy what you have and work up for something better if that is your ultimate goal. Although, again, not pointed directly at OP, there are those people who just care what others think, so why not pay less then half the price and have everyone else think you've paid for an M3...

what percent tint is that?

mastermayhm · 08-28-2013, 11:13 AM

everyone in here that is freaking out about the M badge needs to freak out, why does it bother you so much? it isnt necessarily an m3 badge anyways... could just be an m sport ...

Jay-K · 08-28-2013, 11:46 AM

would like to do this to my car one day..

KwlAznKid · 08-28-2013, 11:50 AM

looks really good, needs mirrors though

wdeerfield · 08-28-2013, 12:04 PM

looks great! only forums care about the badges.. id round out the conversion with gloss black side grills and indicator and at that time, delete the badge for something custom maybe.
