lolol are you serious? and no, my car is titanium silver, no plans on painting it otherwise. My goal wasnt to do a full M3 conversion, I just wanted the front end. But the way BMW did the e92 m3, is that NOTHING works unless you have the rest of the parts. the bumper wouldnt fit (even with modification) wihtout the fenders, the fenders dont work without the Hood (stock hood is shorter) the fenders dont work without the skirts etc etc.

so lets see:

328i: $39,000
wheels/tires: $1400
m3 body parts: $2500
springs: $200

Total: about $44 grand. so no, no way in hell does that compare to the cost of a $70,000 M3.

the stupid thing to do, would be if I got a $50,000 335, then did these mods, since that would basically be the cost of a M3.

Trust me, I wish I could get one, but for now this is what I've got
